woo slight iansan redesign!!! my goal with this was to make her resemble more the orixá she was based on, without sacrificing her original design!
i also made a version with black hair (because she looked adorable) and the sketch/some of the refs!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
also for the record, i have a slight background in umbanda and candomblé, but my main inspiration for doing this was this talk i had with my mother about iansan and ororon/olorun. my plan was to redesign both of them in the same post but i'm not so sure if i'd be that comfortable depicting an supreme religious figure like that, i'll think about it and see what i'm going to do, no promises!

The average MAGA voter feels they are hurting from an economy that helps others who are unworthy, so they voted for the most virtueless billionaires who specialize in greed to save them.
Suckers and loser.

ES Journeys Main Cast: Sunshine the Eevee
Hey, hey everyone! I'm back once again to talk about another character of the ES Journeys main cast. This post will be about Sunshine.
Remember that the main thing you should know about my version of the cast is that they are supposed to be as closely accurate to how they were in the comic in terms of personality and backstory as possible while also changing things to improve them by adding, removing, or expanding things about them.
Now without further ado, here's Journeys Sunshine.
(Note: Not everything is fully fleshed out. These are just the main ideas I have and am currently trying to flesh out)
Sunshine This Eevee is known for a few things like constantly saying "aye" which EV said was based on Happy of Fairy Tail, being the adopted daughter of Speed, calling Lazuli and Silvia "mommy", wanting to evolve into a Sylveon, and being shipped with Axel.
Sunshine I honestly didn't care for a lot since she wasn't that interesting. Yeah she had a thing with a Victini named Chill but that barely was brought up and the story of how they met is in a journal. There's also that thing with Alan and being the cause of the virus and wish to happen but I honestly don't give a crap because it's the virus and timeline junk. She goes to school in the after story journal and stuff but that's in a journal. Her and Speed have a bond but I don't see it or feel it since I see Sunshine hangout with Lazuli and Silvia more in the comic. Overall I just felt like she wasn't that interesting since she was just the adorable Eevee character who calls Lazuli and Silvia "mommy" for shipping purposes. It also doesn't help she was shafted to the side like the other half of the cast who aren't Speed, Flare, Lazuli, or Silvia. I have stuff for Sunshine for ES Journeys.
Personality Sunshine is a young Eevee who loves to play and have fun with other Pokemon but is shy when meeting new Pokemon. Due to being really young she can be quite naive and doesn't know a lot about the things and the world around her which the members of the Eeveelution Squad would often have to explain to her.
Sunshine is a comforting Pokemon who makes others smile even when they're feeling down. She cares deeply about her friends and family and does her best to support them up which she does several times with the Eeveelutions Squad and Axel. She values the bonds she makes with friends and family.
Sunshine looks up to the members of the Eeveelution Squad which is both a good thing and a bad thing. She thought the members of the team were so amazing as brave and strong Pokemon and believed in them with winning their battles. She's said multiple times that she wanted to be like them which they were flattered. Sunshine's behavior is sometimes influenced by them so times when she is brave is because of them but times when she is reckless or does something foolish is also because of them.
When it comes to battling, Sunshine thought it was amazing watching the members of the Eeveelution Squad battling but when they get hurt or are getting beaten up badly she gets worried and starts crying. As she grew up she stopped crying as she believed in them and knew they would get through in the end with their battles. As for actual battling for herself she's fine with it though at first she was hesitant until after watching Speed battle a bunch of times during the team's Kanto journey..
Moves, Ability, and Battle Style Sunshine in this AU is much stronger than her comic self due to watching and receiving training from everyone of the Eeveelution Squad. Her battle style is mostly basic but at times Sunshine uses the same battle styles and techniques the Eeveelution Squad use for their battles.
Sunshine is not a normal Eevee as she is capable of using moves from each of her evolution forms without evolving into them. She can do this because Sunshine's genes are more unstable than a normal Eevee's. In order to make Sunshine not OP with her being able to use moves from her evolution forms, I had Sunshine be restricted to learning the Eevee Partner Moves from Let's Go Eevee. Sunshine learns each Partner Move by bonding with a member of the Eeveelution Squad based on their type (Ex: Bonding with Speed has Sunshine learn Buzzy Buzz) and then names the move. The Partner Moves symbolize her bond with each member of the team.
Sunshine has a wide array of moves of many Types. Her movelist and when they're learned: -Tackle (TB) -Swift (TB) -Buzzy Buzz (TB) -Bouncy Bubble (OI) -Sizzly Slide (OI) -Glitzy Glow (GS) -Sappy Seed (DP) -Freezy Frost (DP) -Baddy Bad (DP) -Helping Hand (BW) -Sparkly Swirl (XY) -Baby-Doll Eyes (XY) -Double Kick (SM) -Quick Attack (SM) -Last Resort (SM) -Extreme Evoboost (SM; Z-Move) -Max Strike (SWSH; Dynamax) -Max Geyser (SWSH; Dynamax) -Max Flare (SWSH; Dynamax) -Max Mindstorm (SWSH; Dynamax) -Max Darkness (SWSH; Dynamax) -Max Overgrowth (SWSH; Dynamax) -Max Hailstorm (SWSH; Dynamax) -Max Starfall (SWSH; Dynamax)
Sunshine's ability is Adaptability. This ability increases the power of her moves that are the same type as her which is Normal-Type.
Sunshine's Backstory In 2011 on May 30th, Sunshine's egg was found in a rundown house outside of Sunny Town. The egg was found by Speed the Jolteon, Crystal the Vaporeon, and Solarflare the Flareon who were out on a walk until Crystal decided to check out the house with Speed and Flare following her. When Speed touches the egg it hatched and Sunshine was born. She assumed Speed was her dad and called him that since he was the first thing she saw but he tells her he's not. The three siblings took Sunshine back with them to Sunny Town and when they brought her to the orphanage the mother had her stay in their room since she was fond of them more, specifically Speed.
During Sunshine's early days in the orphanage she was very shy when it came to interacting with the other kids living there. She mostly hung out with Speed, Crystal, and Flare but she eventually interacts and plays with the other kids after being reassured by the siblings and the mother of the orphanage. Sunshine would call Speed "daddy", Crystal "auntie", and Flare "uncle" for some time but because Speed and Crystal didn't like what she was calling them for their own reasons they had her call them "big brother" and "big sister". Despite calling them something else now, Sunshine would still call Speed "daddy" occasionally and he responds by telling her that she can call him that when they're alone.
In 2014, Sunshine overheard Speed, Crystal, and Flare talking about traveling Kanto and asked them about it. When they told her that they'll be leaving orphanage and won't come back for a long time, Sunshine asked if she can come with them. Speed was quick to deny her from tagging along but after some convincing from Crystal he allowed her to come along.
On April 1, 2014, Sunshine tagged along with Speed, Crystal, and Flare as they begin their journey as a competitive battling team.
Sunshine's Journey From The Beginning-Battle Frontier, Sunshine is your typical adorable character who has cute moments and stuff. Since she's so young she gets to learn things about the world as she travels with the Eeveelution Squad across the regions. She doesn't get much development but she does bond with each member of the Eeveelution Squad which results in her learning each Partner Move
In XY, Sunshine stays mostly the same as the previous series but she eventually looks after a Zygarde Cell (She has the role of Bonnie from the XY anime)
In Sun & Moon, Sunshine attends the Pokemon School with Axel. She has a group of friends she made in the school. Sunshine goes through a trial in Alola where she helps each Eeveelution (Not the Eeveelutions from the Eeveelution Squad) that would lead to her getting the Eevium Z-Crystal. At some point, Sunshine will start thinking about her parents and will get the chance to meet them thanks to Tapu Fini. Sunshine will fall in love with the Alola region along with its traditions and Pokemon in it.
In Sword & Shield, Sunshine and Axel are left behind in Kanto to attend school in Vermilion City while the Eeveelution Squad go to Galar to compete in the Galar League. Sunshine has another group of friends in this school which are the Pokemon from the after story journal. While in school, Sunshine deals with being popular for being the Eevee who was with the Eeveelution Squad and also other school issues.
In Master Journeys, Sunshine along with Axel are either in school still or joining the Eeveelution Squad on their adventures across the world. Sunshine questions what she wants to be in the future in terms of her evolution. She becomes friends with Koharu (The girl with Ash and Goh in Pokemon Journeys) and the two help each other with what they want to be in the future with Sunshine helping her decide her future career and Koharu helping her decide what she wants to evolve into.
That is all for Journeys Sunshine for now. What do you think of her? Leave your thoughts for me to read. Next post will be about Journeys Pearl which will happen later, maybe. Until then, bye!

ES Journeys Main Cast: Solarflare the Flareon
Hello once again everyone. I'm back once more to talk about another one of the main cast of ES Journeys. Today's post will be about Solarflare or as he's more commonly known as, Flare.
Remember that the main thing you should know about my version of the cast is that they are supposed to be as closely accurate to how they were in the comic in terms of personality and backstory as possible while also changing things to improve them by adding, removing, or expanding things about them.
Now without further ado, here's Journeys Flare.
(Note: Not everything is fully fleshed out. These are just the main ideas I have and am currently trying to flesh out)
Solarflare We know Flare the Flareon for a variety of reasons. He's the wholesome one, the one who likes chocolate, the one who got infected by the Berserker Virus and is involved with that plotline, the one that is shipped with Leaf which is the most boring ship ever in my opinion, and the one who took Speed's spotlight in SC12b and suddenly became the new protagonist. Flare is a mixed character to me so I wanted to try and make him better for ES Journeys.
Personality ES Journeys has Flare's personality mostly the same as the comics. Flare is a polite and friendly Pokemon. During Flare's childhood and when Flare and his older siblings began during journey as a competitive battling team he was shy and quiet, often staying beside Speed or Crystal whenever they're with someone. As their journey continued, Flare became less shy and quiet around others outside of his family and became more sociable.
When it comes to battling, Flare at first disliked it as he thought it was just needless violence and for another reason which I'll explain later. He didn't participate in most battles during the Eeveelution Squad's Kanto journey except for the Cinnabar Gym and the Indigo Plateau Conference because he was forced to. Even after reflecting on how he didn't help much during the team's Kanto journey following their big loss at the Indigo Plateu Conference he still had this mindset. When the team were at the Orange Islands, Flare saw how hard his sister was working to improve herself for the team and thought maybe he should do the same but he choose not as he still thought that battling is needless violence and still refuses to participate in battle. Flare does begin to warm up to the idea of battling after Speed told him that there's something worth fighting for and learning what a battle really is. Soon he would willingly partake in battle at the Orange Islands and even though he would lose due to lack of battling experience he now understands that battling isn't as bad as he thought it was.
Out of all the members of the Eeveelution Squad team, Flare is considered to be the soul of the team as the everyone on it believe he's the one who has worked the hardest out of all of them. They admired that about him and were inspired to train as hard as him.
Flare has a huge admiration for his older brother, Speed. He thought he was so brave and strong as he was always there for him when they were Eevees and always wanted to be like him. In Hoenn, Flare's admiration for Speed hasn't changed but now he wanted to be more than like Speed as he wanted to surpass him with his own strength to stand up on his own instead of having his brother always be there for him. Flare started a friendly rivalry with Speed as the two would spar and have friendly competitions with each other. Flare's rivalry with Speed would be one of the reasons why he trained so hard compared to the other members of the team.
From Kanto to Sinnoh, Flare has a huge amount of guilt because of his Coastal ability, Blaze. During the time Flare's ability activated in these regions he would lose control of himself and would go berserk while enraged attacking everything and everyone around him including his own team who try to stop and calm him down. These incidents would traumatize him as he thinks he's a monster and would be scared of his own ability while also believing the team including his own siblings will abandon him one day because of it. This fear would be the other reason why Flare didn't want to participate in competitive battling. When Flare did get used to battling he did his absolute best to not let his ability activate out of fear of what could happen. Flare would have nightmares about losing control of himself and hurting everyone.
Flare likes gardening and knows a lot about it. He also likes sweets too with chocolate being his favorite.
Moves, Ability, and Battle Style Flare in this AU is weaker than his comic counterpart due to not having the Berserker Virus but he at least battles more than him.
Flare has a pretty generic battle style like his sister. In Sinnoh, Flare learns to use his other senses to try to predict where his opponent is going to attack from Bertha, the team captain of one of the Elite Four teams.
Flare has a wide array of Fire-Type moves as well as other Type moves. His movelist and when they're learned: -Ember (TB) -Tackle (TB) -Flamethrower (TB) -Double Kick (OI) -Quick Attack (OI) -Fire Spin (RS) -Flame Charge (RS) -Dig (DP) -Fire Blast (BW) -Flare Blitz (MJ) -Overheat (MJ) -Inferno Overdrive (SM; Z-Move) -Max Strike (SWSH; Dynamax) -Max Flare (SWSH; Dynamax) -Max Knuckle (SWSH; Dynamax) -Max Quake (SWSH; Dynamax)
As the son of a Coastal Tribe Eeveelution, Flare has a special ability that's similar to his brother's. Flare's ability isn't Flash Fire or Guts, it is instead the Coastal ability called "Inferno" or as everyone and him calls it "Blaze". This ability is supposed to be the AU's version/replacement for the Berserker Virus since that doesn't exist in the world of ES Journeys. When Flare uses his ability both his eyes turn red instead of just one and they don't look like the Sharingan from Naruto, they're just red eyes. Like with Speed's Turbo ability, Flare's Blaze ability gives him the strength to rival Mega Evolved Pokemon and when used at its fullest potential, Flare's form changes. As said earlier, Flare when he used the ability in the first four regions would go berserk everytime but in Sinnoh he begins his training on how to control it which is another reason why he's considered the hardest working member on the team. Flare's Blaze ability is based on Ash's Infernape in the DP anime since it had a Blaze ability that made it go berserk but overtime he learned to control it and use it.
Solarflare's Backstory Unlike Speed and Crystal who both hatched on the same day, Flare would remain as an egg until a year later. During that time, the mother of the orphanage would look after the egg with Speed and Crystal also looking after it as well. Flare would hatch on January 1, 2001. Flare was homeschooled by the orphanage's mother with his two older siblings.
Years go by as he grew up in the orphanage. Like Crystal, he rarely left the orphanage due to Speed not wanting them to be with him while Shade is around. During that time, Flare would develop a hobby for gardening after watching the orphanage mother tend to the garden. One day, Flare ate too much chocolate and had a sugar rush which overwhelmed his siblings and after that incident, Speed limited Flare to having a certain amount of chocolate a week.
In 2010, Flare along with Crystal learn about what happened to their parents from Speed who learned the truth from Trace. A few months later he along with Speed and Crystal watched a battle during the Indigo Plateau Conference on TV with the mother of the orphanage explaining what the competitive battling sport is and what they do. Speed and Crystal wanted to do competitive battling while Flare was against it but was pressured to join by Crystal and also didn't want to be alone at the orphanage.
In 2011, when Speed, who is a Jolteon now, went to Professor Robert's lab, Crystal opened a small chest in their room that contained Evolution Stones he collected and used the Water Stone to evolve into a Vaporeon. After evolving she decided to prank Flare by scaring to evolve him into a Flareon so she grabbed a Fire Stone and went looking for him. Flare was outside the orphanage tending to the flowers and when Crystal found him, she threatened to evolve him which caused him to run away and scream. His older sister would chase him around the orphanage and would try to hide in a closet but would soon be found there. He pleaded for his sister to not evolve him and Crystal tells him it's just a prank which gives him some relief. She tries to help him out of the closet but trips and falls on him with the Fire Stone landing on him, causing him to evolve into a Flareon. Upon evolving, Flare's eyes were strangely red as he used a powerful Ember on Crystal and blasted her out of the closet. As he stepped out of the closet, he proceeded to chase her around the orphanage while going on a berserk rampage and lighting parts of the orphanage on fire. When he corners Crystal, Speed steps in between them and while he was confused about what was up with Flare's eyes, he tried to snap Flare out of his rage but is met with a powerful Ember as well as he and Crystal are blasted through the wall of the orphanage and lay on the ground outside in pain. Flare steps out of the orphanage's blasted wall and was about to fire another attack on them but faints from using up his energy.
Some time after he fainted, Flare woke up and found himself tied up. Flare's eyes was back to normal and he was no longer in a berserker rage fit. When Speed thought Flare was safe he untied and asked what happened to which he explained everything and it resulted in Crystal being grounded for a week. During that week, Speed took Flare to Professor Robert's lab to get an answer on what was up with eyes but unfortunately he didn't have a clear answer for them. He said that Flare's eye change was possibly a result of an ability to which closest he can say is the Blaze ability but clarifies that it isn't that exactly. Also throughout the week, Flare didn't talk to Crystal at all. One day when Flare entered their room while Crystal was already there she tried talking to him again but he ignored her. Crystal would then give a tearful apology, saying she was sorry for what she did and said she was a horrible sister to which Flare decides to forgive her as he says he can never hate her and gives her a hug.
In 2011 on May 30, Flare wanted to go out for a walk and since Shade was still around, Speed decides to take him and Crystal out for a walk outside of town in the forest. Flare enjoyed the walk as he sat on top of his sister was sitting on top of his older brother. They eventually find a rundown house and went inside to find an egg that would hatch Sunshine. They took her back to the orphanage and the mother of the orphanage let her stay with them in their room since she was fond of them. Flare along with his older siblings wondered why her egg was all alone in the abandoned house and when Speed learns from Trace that two Eeveelutions were killed around the area of the house that the egg was in, they realized that it was most likely her parents. They decided not to say anything about it to her for now but Flare says they'll have to tell her eventually.
In 2014 sometimes after Flare turned 13, Speed filled out the paperwork to create their competitive battling team and a few days later a letter came for the three siblings and when they opened it a form was in it that approved the creation of their team and that they're officially one now. They decided to wait till April to begin their journey.
On April 1, 2014, he along with Speed, Crystal, and Sunshine left Sunny Town to begin their adventure as a competitive battling team.
Solarflare's Journey In The Beginning, Flare barely fought in any battles because he didn't like the idea of fighting. Despite that he did battle during the Cinnabar Gym against Blaine and his team. During it his ability activated which helped him defeat Blaine but he was out of control as he attacked everything and everyone around him until he ran out of energy and fainted.
In Adventures in the Orange Islands, Flare reflected on the team's Kanto journey and knew he barely did anything because of his thoughts on battling. He decides to still be against battling as he remembers the incident at the Cinnabar Gym. When the team are at the Orange Islands, Flare saw how hard his sister was working to be better and improve herself for the team he thought about trying to the same same but stopped himself because of his thoughts on battling still. When Flare asked Speed why he battles he told him there's something to fight for which to him was winning to become the best team ever and he asks him what he's gonna fight for. Flare didn't know at the time but he would soon find his answer as he says he'll fight to help his family. Flare would then learn the what a battle truly is which is two Pokemon giving it their all to win. After all of that, Flare would willingly participate in battles.
In Ruby and Sapphire, Flare who has admired Speed since they were Eevees annd wanted to be just like him, wanted to surpass him with his own strength. He has Speed become a rival and the two would have some friendly compeition with each other and sometimes battle each other to test their strength.
In Diamond and Pearl, Flare has a personal rivalry with Shade because of everything he's done to the team during the Eeveelution Squad's journey in Sinnoh, Speed. He battles him twice, one at Lake Acuity and the other time being at the Lily of the Valley Conference. Flare knocks Speed out during the latter battle because he wanted to personally beat him for hurting his brother. Flare meets Leaf for the first time when the Eeveelution Squad were heading to Oreburgh City. When Leaf and Lazuli joined the team, Leaf expressed her dislike towards battling which Flare related to but explains to her what a battle really is which makes her see it differently. He helps trains her for her first battle. Flare finally decides to do something about his Blaze ability where instead of avoiding it he spends the entire Sinnoh journey trying to learn how to control it with some help from his teammates and other characters as well like Flint of the Elite Four.
In Black & White, Flare becomes a bit over-reliant on his now controlled ability which while it helps him win battles it also caused him to lose due to his energy being used up quickly or predictability. Flare has to learn when is the right time to use his ability and to stop being so reliant on it. Also Flare develops feelings for Leaf and has a romance subplot with her.
In XY, Flare helps Speed with learning how to use his ability after he learned about it since he has experience in this department. Flare also trains to master his Blaze ability and unlock his "Blaze form" after seeing how fast Speed learned how to use his Turbo ability and watching him try to master it to use his ability's form which he hasn't even unlocked yet. He also meets Fluffy and Solar, the latter being a teammate on CC's team and is another Coastal Tribe Eeveelution. He has a rivalry with him as he too has also unlocked his Coastal ability form.
In Sun & Moon, Flare learns to appreciate life as well as the Pokemon around him which is his team who he starts to see as family. He also gets to meet his dad and uncle thanks to Tapu Fini and gets closure with them. Before the Alola journey, Flare along with Speed and Crystal realized that Mollie is their mom after spending time with her during vacation and after seeing their DNA samples matched, they tell her that they're her children and the family is reunited.
In Master Journeys, Flare was also against the team splitting up to train on their own for a few months but is eventually convinced that it's for the best for the team if they wish to get to the Master Class. During those months of training, Flare runs into Shade again and the two have a battle however unlike in the Lily of the Valley Conference where he managed to come out on top, Shade overpowered him since he too also became much stronger since they last battled. Flare's loss against Shade made him decide to spend a few extra months training, making him the only member of the team to not have returned to the team after the set of months Speed said they'd split up for. Eventually he does return.
So that is Journeys Flare. What do you think of him? Leave your thoughts for me to read. Next post will be about Journeys Sunshine and her post should come out soon. Until then, bye!

ES Journeys Main Cast: Crystal the Vaporeon
Hello again everyone. I'm back again to talk about another one of the main cast of ES Journeys which for this post will be about Crystal.
Remember that the main thing you should know about my version of the cast is that they are supposed to be as closely accurate to how they were in the comic in terms of personality and backstory as possible while also changing things to improve them by adding, removing, or expanding things about them.
Now without further ado, here's Journeys Crystal.
(Note: Not everything is fully fleshed out. These are just the main ideas I have and am currently trying to flesh out)
Crystal Ah so now we're on Crystal the Vaporeon. She's known for many things like breaking the 4th wall, her dynamic with Silvia and Lazuli, shipped with Trace or Silvia (They're both fine, I'm fine with either), being the middle child in her family who has absolutely nothing to do with the Beserker Virus or the timeline junk, and just having literally nothing or doing anything to make her important.
Now I wanna go back to the last thing I listed for her as that bothered me and this doesn't just apply to her since others also barely did anything. As one of the 9 main characters in the comic you'd think she'd be relevant in someway seeing as she's 1) One of the main characters and 2) The sister to Speed and Flare who both have such significant roles because they're tied to the complex BS lores but guess what? She got nothing and is nothing more than comedic relief and a background character. I plan on changing that for ES Journeys.
Personality Crystal in ES Journeys has basically the same personality as her comic self. She's jolly, optimistic, and likes to be playful and pull pranks that are usually harmless but would get her and the team into trouble.
Crystal is considered to be the heart of the Eeveelution Squad team as she's the one who keeps everyone together with her positive attitude. Whenever the team is feeling down she's the one who cheers everyone up by either making them laugh or giving them encouragement. When the Eeveelution Squad began adding new members to the team she's always the one to help them feel welcomed and settled into the team.
While Crystal is usually happy being on the team, there are times where she gets questions her placement on it as she feels she's either holding the team back or isn't as special as the others, specifically Speed and Flare.
Crystal is sensitive when it comes to the topic of evolution due to her causing her younger brother, Flare to evolve into a Flareon by accident.
When it comes to doing battling and Contest, Crystal at first didn't take them seriously but after some time she started to get serious for different reasons for both sports (Which'll be explained later in the post). Crystal likes both sports a lot but likes Contest just a bit more.
Crystal likes to dance and draw.
Moves, Ability, and Battle Style Obviously Crystal in this AU is stronger than her comic self since this one actually fights while the other never did. As a Vaporeon she's a really good swimmer so she has an advantage if the arena is a body of water.
Crystal has a pretty generic battle style and she does some light taunting while in battle. While Speed focuses on strategy when it comes to battling, Crystal is all about unpredictability. The way she fights is she thinks outside of the box on how she can use her abilities in a way where her opponents or even her teammates don't understand what she's trying to do. Crystal sometimes implements dancing into her battles as a way to constantly keep moving around and dodge attacks or pull off the Countershield technique (Look it up, it's from the anime). Out of all the members of the Eeveelution Squad team, Crystal likes to Dynamax the most.
Crystal has a wide array of Water-Type moves as well as other Type moves. Her movelist and when they're learned: -Water Gun (TB) -Acid Armor (TB) -Tackle (TB) -Tail Whip (TB) -Body Slam (TB) -Bubble Beam (OI) -Hydro Pump (OI) -Whirlpool (GS) -Aqua Tail (RS) -Aqua Jet (DP) -Aurora Beam (DP) -Attract (XY) -Rain Dance (MJ) -Hydro Vortex (SM; Z-Move) -Acid Downpour (SM; Z-Move) -Max Strike (SWSH; Dynamax) -Max Geyser (SWSH; Dynamax) -Max Hailstorm (SWSH; Dynamax) -Max Ooze (SWSH; Dynamax)
Unlike her brothers, Speed and Flare who have their special Coastal abilities, Crystal sadly doesn't have one and has one of the two Vaporeon species abilities, Water Absorb. When Crystal has her body absorb the water around her she replenishes her energy so that she can keep fighting and using moves. Crystal can't use water that she's used for her moves to replenish her energy.
Crystal's Backstory Crystal hatched on February 15, 2000 and she hatched an hour after Speed did. She was brought into Sunny Town and lived in an orphanage with him and her unborn sibling. While she lived in the orphanage she played with the other kids and got along with everyone well while also getting herself into trouble with the mother occasionally. When Crystal reached the age of 3, the age of being able to attend school she wanted to go but Speed was against it so she got homeschooled which made her upset but she got over it.
Years go by as she grew up in the orphanage. During those years, Crystal has rarely left the orphanage due to Speed not wanting her or Flare going out because of Shade being around. Whenever Speed came back to the orphanage injured and was questioned about them he would assure everyone that it was nothing to worry about but Crystal would pester him about it as she thought he was hiding something but never got the truth out of him. One day, Flare had a sugar rush after eating too much chocolate and overwhelmed Speed and Crystal with his hyperness and ever since then, Crystal gets scared whenever she sees Flare eat chocolate. At some point she meets Trace when he came over to the orphanage and he instantly had a crush on her. She rarely saw him after that due to him meeting with Speed outside of the orphanage and when he is at the orphanage he drags him away from her.
In 2010, Speed tells her and Flare that their parents were dead after Trace told him which saddened them. A few months later she along with Speed and Flare watched a battle from the Indigo Plateau Conference on TV and when the mother explained what a competitive battling team is and does, Crystal thought it sounded cool and wanted to do it to which later when the three were in their room Speed said they'll do it when they're all old enough to be a team which gets her excited while Flare was hesitant but she manages to pressure him to come along.
In 2011, one day Speed and Crystal were in their room with the now Jolteon getting ready to leave and head over to Professor Robert's lab. Before he left he told Crystal not to open a small box that contains Evolution Stones that he's been collecting for Professor Robert. As soon as he left the orphanage she opened the box to see all the Evolution Stones and touched the Water Stone that was in it since she always wanted to become a Vaporeon after learning about her evolved forms while homeschooled. After evolving she thought of pranking Flare by scaring him that she's gonna make him evolve into a Flareon so she grabbed the Fire Stone in the box and left the room to find him. When Crystal found Flare outside the orphanage, she threatened to evolve him to which he started running away in fear and Crystal gave chase. After chasing him around the orphanage for a bit she found him hiding in a closet with cleaning items and he begged for her not to evolve to which she tells him it was just a prank. She tried to help him out of the closet but trips over an item and falls on him with the Fire Stone landing on him and making him evolve into a Flareon. Crystal realizing what she has done asked if he was alright but saw that his eyes were glowing red and he looked mad as she gets blasted out of the closet from a powerful Ember. Once Flare stepped out of the closet, Crystal began to run while he chased her. During the chase, Flare parts of the orphanage on fire and soon Crystal was cornered but Speed arrived and tried to calm to him down but he didn't listen and used Ember on the both of them, blasting them through the wall and have them lying outside of the building. Before Flare could use another attack on her and Speed he faints from using up his energy.
After Flare woke up and was released from being tied up, Speed grounded Crystal for a week and Flare didn't talk to her at all and wouldn't do so for a week as well. During the week, Crystal snuck out to follow Speed to Professor Robert's lab because she wanted to asked the professor if there was a way to devolve a Pokemon to which the professor tells her it's not possible right now but maybe sometime in the future. A week later and Flare still hasn't said a word to her which causes her to cry as she tearfully apologizes to Flare for what she's done and is thankfully forgiven by him.
On May 30, she along with Speed and Flare went out for a walk through the forest around Sunny Town and during it they found a rundown house. Crystal is the one who went in to check it out and was also the one to find an egg in it The egg would hatch and an Eevee who they would name, Sunshine later would come from it to which the three took her back to the orphanage and the mother let her stay with them in their room. They wondered why her egg was all alone in the abandoned house and when Speed learns from Trace that two Eeveelutions were killed around the area of the house that the egg was in and tells her and Flare about it, they decided not to say anything about it to her for now but know they'll have to eventually.
In 2014 sometimes after Flare turned 13, Speed filled out the paperwork to create their competitive battling team. When Speed needed to fill out their team's name, after throwing around some name ideas, Crystal came up with the team name "Eeveelution Squad" which both Speed and Flare liked. She also provided a drawing of their team logo. After submitting the paperwork the three siblings would talk about how exciting and nervous it was gonna be for them to go out traveling and as they talked about this Sunshine overheard them. Sunshine asked them about what they were talking about and Speed tells her they'll be going away for a long time soon which in response she asks if she can come with them and while he was against it at first he hesitantly lets her tag along after being convinced by Crystal. A few days later a letter came for the three siblings and when they opened it a form was in it that approved the creation of their team and that they're officially one now. They decided to wait till April to begin their journey.
On April 1, 2014, Speed, Crystal, and Flare begin their journey as a competitive battling team.
Crystal's Journey In The Beginning, Crystal loses most of her battles due to not taking it seriously. Even though Crystal met Trace before they began their journey, she never has once said his actual name. When she learned Trace is the son of Professor Robert she kept calling him the "son of a professor" or something similar and as she continued doing that, Trace got more and more annoyed as he doesn't like being called those things and being connected to his dad. Eventually he blows up on her and apologizing shortly after as he then explains why he doesn't like being talked about regarding his dad (I'll explain in a post about Trace, maybe). She apologizes and she eventually begins to call him by his name.
In Adventures in the Orange islands, Crystal looks back on her performance during the Indigo League and realizes she barely did anything to help as it was Speed who mostly battled and even Flare got a win. She questions her place on the team and asks her brothers if she's holding them back to which they assure her she's not. Crystal learns to take battling seriously so that she helps carry the team instead of just being dead weight.
In Gold and Silver, Crystal was the one who brings up the subject of adding someone new to the team. When Speed tells Pearl about the thing involving their mom, Crystal gets suspicious because she could tell that he was hiding something from her and tries to get him to spit out to her and Flare.
In Ruby and Sapphire, Crystal was the one who was most interested in doing Contest however when she did her first ever one she failed badly. Despite the failure she was determined to get better at it. She would get her own set of Contest rivals while being the leader of the Eeveelution Squad Contest team. Unlike Speed who tries to be a leader and have the team do things his way, Crystal is more open as a leader as she trusts the others with their abilities and comes up with ways they can use their abilities in the best way possible for Contest. Also Speed would learn from her about being a leader.
In Diamond and Pearl, when Leaf and Lazuli join the team she develops a bond with them. With Leaf, she and her would get along well as she influenced Leaf a little with her playful personality much to Lazuli's dismay. With Lazuli, Speed told Crystal to go help her feel comfortable while on the team to which the two would form a bond and become best friends with Crystal learning Aurora Beam as a sign of their friendship. As for Black, she helps him not take everything so seriously and try to make him relax and have fun. She would drag him to do things with the rest of the team and help him smile a bit.
In Black & White, Crystal was the reason why Flare developed a crush on Leaf as she teased him about liking her which planted the idea into his head. With the team's burst in popularity, Crystal let that get to her head for a bit but eventually gets overwhelmed by it and humbles herself.
In Battle Frontier, Crystal has the team return to doing Contest and with the return of Contest rivals from both Hoenn and Sinnoh she is more determined than ever to win this year's Contest Grand Festival.
In XY, Crystal along with the rest of the team offer their hand to Silvia to help her with doing the Pokemon Showcase sport since they have some experience due to the sport despite being different from Contest has some similarities to it. When Speed learns about his Turbo ability and tries to master it as well as Flare trying to master his Blaze ability, Crystal feels insecure as she feels she's not as special or strong like her brothers again but this time it was because she didn't have a Coastal ability. When she expresses this feeling to the team, Speed and Flare assure her she's strong in her own way and she doesn't need a special ability like them as they remind her of her accomplishments that she's made without having a Coastal ability.
In Sun & Moon, Crystal learns to appreciate life as well as the Pokemon around her which is her team who she starts to see as family. She also gets to meet her dad and uncle thanks to Tapu Fini and gets closure with them. Before the Alola journey, Crystal along with Speed and Flare realized that Mollie is their mom after spending time with her during vacation and after seeing their DNA samples matched, they tell her that they're her children and the family is reunited.
In Sword & Shield, Crystal is the one who is the most experienced with Dynamax out of all the members of the Eeveelution Squad. Whenever the Eeveelution Squad battles she is eager to Dynamax and everyone lets her do it unless the team is losing or at a disadvantage and needs someone else on the team to do it which while upset about not being able to Dynamax she understands. Crystal has a rivalry with Klara.
In Master Journeys, when Speed tells the team that they're gonna split up for a few months to train on their own, Crystal is one of the members who was against this but eventually gets convinced that it's for the best of the team if they wish to get through the Ultra Class in the World Championship Series.
And that's Journeys Crystal. What do you think of her? Leave your thoughts for me to read. Next post will be on Journeys Flare's and his post will happen soon. Until then, bye!

Another thing from Jake Broe's latest video that actually made me really angry.
So, apparently, the amount of votes Donald Trump is expected to end up with is about the same as last time. When he lost!
Whereas the number of votes Kamala Harris received is about 13 million less than what Biden got last time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So these people just didn't bother showing up to vote. Or voted third party. 13 fucking million people just couldn't be arsed to go and vote. Fuck you guys. If you think this has in any way helped Palestine or whatever then you're fucking delusional. You're not supposed to wait for the best, perfect candidate. You vote for the least bad candidate who has a chance to win.

ES Journeys Main Cast: Speed the Jolteon
Hello everyone. So I'd thought I would share my takes on each of the main cast for ES Journeys on here and get other people's opinions.
The main thing you guys should know about my version of the cast is that they are supposed to be as closely accurate to how they were in the comic in terms of personality and backstory as possible while also changing things to improve them by adding, removing, or expanding things about them.
With that being said, it's time to start. I'll be going through all 9 of the main cast and I'll start with Speed.
(Note: Not everything is fully fleshed out. These are just the main ideas I have and am currently trying to flesh out)
Speed So we all know Speed the Jolteon. The punching bag, the ridiculously overpowered Jolteon, the dense one, the one with the most ships, etc. He has his fair share of moments in the comic but also a fair share of issues as well like his romance plotlines, his inconsistent personality throughout the comic, his edginess in the later chapters, and him being OP. In ES Journeys, Speed isn't a mess like in the comics.
Personality Speed's personality is mostly the same like the comics. He's a hardworking, loyal, and responsible Pokemon but can be a bit dense at times when it comes to social stuff. Despite that he is quite intelligent when it comes to science. He often puts others before himself as whenever someone asks if he's okay he brushes it off to not worry them. When Speed sees his family or friends getting picked on or hurt he would immediately step in to help.
Speed is the team captain of the Eeveelution Squad and takes his role seriously as he makes an effort to help everyone get strong and coming with strategies for battle. He's quite analytical as he analyzes his opponents both on and off the arena to find weak spots and come up with strategies to take them down.
Speed had a fear of bodies of water so whenever he sees what he freezes up but after learning how to swim from Crystal, he got over that fear.
Unlike his comic counterpart, Speed isn't traumatized or deal with an existential crisis because he doesn't suffer from dealing with timeline crap or being killed so this Speed is a bit more happier.
Speed is a fan of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon franchise (In-universe franchise).
Moves, Ability, and Battle Style When it comes to his strength he is significantly weaker than his comic counterpart because 1) He was never a champion in ES Journeys, 2) Never became a Rescuer, 3) Has a no healing factor, and 4) His Turbo ability is weaker than its comic version. I did this because I didn't like how OP he was in the comic and also it'd be no fun having Speed breeze through the Regional Leagues if he had all these powers.
Speed at first at a pretty generic battle style but after beating Lt. Surge by using his swiftness instead of his strength he soon developed a battle style that revolves around his speed. He's really fast and is capable of landing multiple quick hits on someone while also being able to dodge attacks quickly. Since Dynamax slows the user down, Speed avoids using it.
Speed has a wide array of Electric-Type moves and speed based moves. His movelist and when they're learned: -Thundershock (TB) -Thunderbolt (TB) -Tackle (TB) -Double Kick (TB) -Swift (TB) -Agility (TB) -Quick Attack (TB) -Pin Missile (OI) -Wild Charge (DP) -Electro Ball (BW) -Substitute (XY) -Extreme Speed (MJ) -Thunder (MJ) -Gigavolt Havoc (SM; Z-Move) -Breakneck Blitz (SM; Z-Move) -Max Strike (SWSH; Dynamax) -Max Lightning (SWSH; Dynamax) -Max Knuckle (SWSH; Dynamax) -Max Flutterby (SWSH; Dynamax)
As the son to a Coastal Tribe Eeveelution, Speed has an ability the common Jolteons don't have. Speed's ability isn't Volt Absorb or Quick Feet, it's actually a special ability called "Primus" or as everyone and him likes to call it "Turbo". Unlike the comic where when the ability is used it multiplies Speed's power more and more the longer he uses it but strains him, ES Journeys' version of it is more simple as it's more like the abilities of Blaze, Torrent, and Overgrow where it gives a boost in power to the Pokemon however there are differences such as 1) Speed's eyes turns blue when he uses it and 2) when Speed uses the abiltiy to its fullest it changes his form sort of like with the Ash-Greninja form. If it wasn't obvious, this is the ES Journeys version of the Ash-Greninja form as this ability allows Speed to rival the power of Mega Evolved Pokemon during XY. Speed does use this ability briefly at times in past chapters but never realizes his ability is activated during those moments. During Kalos is when Speed learns about his ability and tries to master it as using it drains him of his energy quickly.
Speed's Backstory Speed hatched on February 15, 2000 and he along with his younger siblings were brought into Sunny Town and put into an orphanage (Sunny Town is the Pallet Town of ES Journeys). While raised in the orphanage he would look after his siblings while also helping the mother of the orphanage out with stuff like cleaning and organizing things. When Speed, Crystal, and Flare reached the age to attend school he was against it so instead he along with his siblings were homeschooled by the mother of the orphanage instead.
In 2006 when Speed was 6 years old he would one day leave the orphanage to wander around town and he meets Trace who at first didn't want to be friends as he spent the day getting followed by him and tried getting away from his while he showed him some locations of Sunny Town. He eventually manages to get away from him but runs into trouble as he bumps into Shade who was a Rescuer at the time and basically the bully of town as many people feared him. Shade started beating up Speed relentlessly for fun and when Trace sees this he steps up and tells him to stop which Shade didn't like so he tried attacking Speed again but Trace protected him. Shade gets pissed and soon beats him up as well and in the end both of them were beaten up really badly as Shade walks away scoffing. Despite being badly hurt, Speed was touched that Trace would step up for him like that and try to protect him and would accept him as a friend. A few days after this Trace introduces Speed to his dad, Professor Robert and they got along pretty well as he was interested in his dad's work and would sometimes be tutored by him with Trace. Professor Robert would make Speed and Trace his research fellows and send them out on simple research tasks for him like finding evolution stones. During one of their research tasks, Speed fell into a lake and at the time he didn't know how to swim so Trace saved him from almost drowning but as a result of this, Speed became scared of bodies of water.
Whenever Speed saw Shade bullying the Pokemon in town, he stood up for them trying to defend them like how Trace did for him but this always resulted him in getting hurt and developing a hatred for him constantly bullying everyone. At times he tries fighting back but because he has no experience with battling he gets whooped. Shade was pissed that Speed was constantly standing up to him since he no one has ever stood up to him before in Sunny Town and no matter how many times he beats him up he won't back down which pisses him off even more. Speed tries to avoid being with anyone who's close to him as he doesn't want them to be hurt because they're associated with him.
A couple of years gone by and in 2010, Speed learns that his parents were dead from Trace as he went to a police station in a city he went to with his dad and asked about it which saddened him and he broke the news to Crystal and Flare. In 2011 sometime after he turned 11, Speed decided to take a job as a mailmon in Sunny Town. When he took the job he met and befriended Frost and the two sometimes worked together while on the job. The two got to know each other a bit and learned they both lost their parents and had younger siblings. One day, Frost gave Speed his purple scarf as he said he saw himself in him and said it was a gift from a friend.
On another day, Speed and Trace were about to leave for another research task assigned from Trace's dad, he accidentally bumped into Silvia who recognizes him as the Eevee who keeps standing up to Shade. She attempted to use Attract on him but it didn't affect him which interested her. Speed would run into Silvia again and when she tried using Attract again and it failed, he asked her why she did that to which she responds that it was test. This weirds him out and makes him leave but Silvia's interest him increased. Ever since that encounter he hides himself whenever he sees Silvia nearby but when she does see him, he's stuck hanging out with her for the day.
After taking another beating from Shade and is currently recovering another day, he stumbles through town making his way to the post office and ends up falling in front of Frost's younger brother, Black. He helps him up and askes why he's out with his injuries and said he wanted to get to check on his Glaceon friend at the post office to which Black if it was Frost to which he confirms it was him and reveals hje's his younger brother. The two had a chat about him and the two befriended each other quickly. When Black asked him for his name, he was about to say his real name but when he saw Shade in the distance he lies about his name and says he's "Alan" as he didn't want him to get hrut from Shade for being associated with him. The two would often meet up and when Speed is beat up again from Shade, he decides to teach him how to defend himself.
One day Trace came back from another meeting he went to with his dad and had some good news for Speed as when he went to the police and asked about his parents again, he mentions how the death report was of two male Eeveelutions which he concludes that his mom could still be ablive. He thanks him for the news and heads back to orphanage excited to tell his siblings the news but stops when he realizes he has no leads on her and didn't want to hurt them by giving them false hope so he decided to keep this info to himself. He thought about leaving town when he's older to go find his mom but was conflicted on leaving his siblings behind. When he returned to the orphanage he joined his siblings who were with the mother as they were watching TV. When they changed the channel to a battle at the Indigo Plateau Conference, Flare asked why the Pokemon on TV were fighting to which the mother explains that they're doing competitive battling and explains how competitive battle teams would travel across the region in order to become the best team ever. Crystal thought it sounded cool and that she wanted to do it while Speed realized that if they were a competitive battling team he could travel across the region while his siblings were still by his side. When the three went to their room, Speeds asked them about wanting to become a competitive battling to which Crystal excitedly was excited about while Flare was hesitstant but was pressured by his sister to join.
When Speed heard news of Frost passing away he tried finding Black to make sure he was okay. He eventually finds him and he helps cheer his friend up.
Shade got a warning from the police department about rumors about his behavior and told him to knock it off or else he'll be in trouble which pissed him off as he blamed Speed for this. He decided to take care of Speed not directly this time as Shade tried to get rid of him one day by having an outlaw Fearow abduct Speed but at the moment the Pokemon was about to make its move, he was hanging out with Trace and Silvia. Speed and Trace moved out of the way while the Fearow grabbed Silvia, not knowing it got the wrong Eevee and took her into the woods. Speed and Trace go after the Fearow and eventually found them and confront it, demanding that he lets Silvia go as she was stuck up on the tree. Speed and Trace fought it but had a hard time and were getting beat up so in a desparate moment, he uses the Thunder Stone he had on him that was supposed to be for Professor Robert's research task and evolved into a Jolteon. The two eventually defeat it and when Silvia fell off the tree, Speed catches her which and returns her safely to Sunny Town and after that Silvia openly expressed how she likes him and declares him as her boyfriend which weirded him out. Shade was pissed that his plan failed.
On May 30, Speed, Crystal who was a Vaporeon now, and Flare who was a Flareon now went out for a walk through the forest around Sunny Town and during it they found a rundown house with an egg inside. The egg would hatch and an Eevee would come from it and since it looked at Speed first it called him "daddy". The three took her back to the orphanage and the mother let her stay with them in their room since the Eevee had a fondness for Speed to which he names her Sunshine. The siblings wondered why her egg was all alone in the abandoned house so Speed went to Trace again who was about to go to another meeting with his dad and at the end of the day he learns from him that two Eeveelutions were killed around the area the egg was in which he assumed was her parents. He tells this news to Crystal and Flare and they decided not to say anything about it to her now but know they'll have to eventually.
In 2012, Shade was fired from his Rescuer job as all the stuff he's done to the town and Speed has finally caught up with him as the police department heard of what he's done. Shade blames Speed as ever since he met him things have not gone his way and so one day while Speed was alone in town waiting for Black he is confronted by him and proceeds to start beating him up but because of the fighting lessons he learned from Black he fought back. As the two fought, Black who was an Umbreon now saw what was happening and was about to step in to help Speed but when he hears Shade call him with his actual name it confused him but then he realizes he was lied to again which angered and hurt him that another Pokemon he thought he could trust lied to him again. Speed just barely wins the fight against Shade as the Absol limps away after being humiliated by him but as soon as the fight was over he was confronted by Black who yells at him for lying to him about who he really was. Speed tried to explain himself but Black didn't want to hear any of it and stormed off and Speed was left there standing alone. The two didn't see each other for weeks but after some time, Speed wanted to apologize to Black and come clean with him so he heads to where his house is but to his shock his house was vacant and for sale as he had moved away. Speed was very upset as now he couldn't try to mend his friendship with Black.
In 2014 sometimes after Flare turned 13, Speed filled out the paperwork to create their competitive battling team which is called the "Eeveelution Squad". After submitting the paperwork the three siblings would talk about how exciting and nervous it was gonna be for them to go out traveling and as they talked about this Sunshine overheard them. Sunshine asked them about what they were talking about and Speed tells her they'll be going away for a long time soon which in response she asks if she can come with them and while Speed was against it at first he hesitantly lets her tag along after being convinced by Crystal. A few days later a letter came for the three siblings and when they opened it a form was in it that approved the creation of their team and that they're officially one now. They decided to wait till April to begin their journey.
One day, Trace asked Speed if he wanted to join his competitive battling team but he declined as he revealed he had formed one with his siblings so Trace declares them as rivals in a friendly way to which Speed goes along with.
On April 1, 2014, Speed, Crystal, and Flare begin their journey as a competitive battling team.
Speed's Journey In The Beginning, Speed mostly battled since Crystal always lost due to not taking battles seriously and Flare refuses to fight. When Speed fought Lt. Surge he lost at first in a battle of strength however after coming up with a plan to use the swiftness of a Jolteon and training for a bit he came back for a rematch and won which after this point he became fond of his speed-based battle style.
In Adventures in the Orange Islands, Speed was fearing for his life every time he and his siblings travelled between islands. He would get over this fear though when Crystal decides to teach him how to swim and when he gains the courage to face his fear when someone's in danger while in the water.
In Gold and Silver, Speed was against the idea of letting someone new join their team but when he met Pearl and gave her encouragement to keep going for her dream, he invites her to the team so that they can help her. Speed and Pearl form a bond over the course of their Johto journey and he trusts her enough to tell her about the real reasoning behind why they're traveling which was to find their mom which he still hasn't told Crystal and Flare about.
In Ruby and Sapphire, Speed wants to try to be more of a leader since he is the team captain of the Eeveelution Squad. He has trouble with trying to be a leader as at times nobody listens to him and when he makes strategies they're usually in a very specific way that doesn't suit everyone else but him. Speed eventually learns that as a leader he needs not have everyone do things his way and to trust his teammates and their abilities from Crystal since she trusts everyone with their abilities and works together with them to come up with appeals for Contest that works for them.
In Diamond and Pearl, Speed's past comes to haunt him in the form of Shade and Black being in the Sinnoh region. Speed and Shade's hatred towards each other remained the same from years ago and during the team's Sinnoh journey he slowly breaks him by making him question his ideals as a team and himself as a battler and a leader. Even by the time of the Lily of the Valley Conference, Speed was not ready to defeat Shade in battle. When Speed sees Black again he tries to talk to him and explain himself but he just didn't want to hear it. Despite that, the two would run into each other a lot and sometimes fight side-by-side. Eventually they talk things out mend their friendship. Like in the comics, Speed and Lazuli have beef with each other when they first meet and would continue to have beef with each other for a while until they learn about each other's past and start over as friends.
After the Battle Frontier, Speed became obsessed in XY with trying to win and getting stronger which made him lose himself a bit but he eventually snaps out of that mindset. He also finally learns about his Turbo ability which makes him as strong as Mega Evolved Pokemon so he wants to master it in order to use it.
In Sun & Moon, Speed learns to take things slowly instead of rushing through life and quickly going into battle. He learns to appreciate life as well the Pokemon he cares about, his team who he begins to see as his found family. Speed gets to meet his dad and uncle thanks to Tapu Fini and gets closure with them. Also before the Alola journey, Speed along with Crystal and Flare realized that Mollie is their mom after spending time with her during vacation and after seeing their DNA samples matched, they tell her that they're her children and the family is reunited.
In Master Journeys, when the Eeveelution Squad were struggling with their battles in the Ultra Class he made the decision for the team to split up in order to train and that they'll reunite again in a couple of months. During the split training he does end up regretting making that decision but has no choice but to continue training on his own since everyone else doing so. He does apologize to everyone for making that decision after they reunite. During the split training he battles Shade in a one-on-one battle and defeats him. When Speed learned it was Team Rocket who killed his parents so he would have a deep hatred towards them and would attempt to kill Giovanni during the Rainbow Rocket arc but is stopped by Crystal and Flare.
So that's Journeys Speed. What do you think of him? Leave your thoughts as I like reading what other people say and don't mind getting feedback. I'll make Journeys Crystal's post soon. Until then, bye!

Something crazy about knowing that I’ll move schools soon is that I’m getting excited over normal-adult things.
(For context my new schools is gonna be an online school)
Over the last 4 days, I have been weirdly happy about:
>Going on a walk during a break.
>Having food I actually like for lunch.
>Not being harassed by kids.
>Being able to wear what I want.
>Hopefully not being misgendered 24/7.
>No one being able to say things without the teacher hearing (to stop bullying).
>No teacher can ignore my accommodations.
Like I’ve realised half of these are kinda “granted” in adult jobs? You chose what you eat, you can leave the building during lunch breaks, it’s (at least where I live) a crime to not follow disabled people’s accommodations, etc.
And I’m excited over not being harassed. Both s3xually, physically, and verbally. Like that is a normal thing to have happen almost daily, and I’d be lucky to not have that happen to me, despite it being wrong and punishable.
And the funny thing is, that was my current school’s doings. They treated harassment like a normal thing until a parent called it out. They treated someone demanding to be touched like a normal thing until I called it out.
The things I’ve witnessed in that school before the age of 15 are not excusable. The things I have been subjected to there are not excusable.
BOY IS IT NICE TO SCREAM THAT INTO THE VOID- FUCK YOU [INSERT MY SCHOOL HERE] IM GLAD IM LEAVING! 🗣️🔥‼️
