[HEADCANON] Some Leaf Cleanup

So, I realized that Leaf has gone through some dumb shit in Kanto/Johto this past year (-cough cough- Rainbow Road -cough-) and things may get a little weird when interacting with Kanto/Johto muses, so let me break a few things down here.

The main things of reference are:

Rainbow Rocket part 1

How she obtained Mewtwo

Kuro (Zekrom)

Her current Ultra Space stuff (that I haven't discussed here yet)

So let me break this down into three possibilities: Mainverse (the main canon), Adjusted verse (if she's a drop-in for your Leaf/Green), and Ultra Space visitor (if she's a foreign Leaf for... some reason). Most solos go under the first sense except for the below note. Thus, I don't tag them because, at the end of the day, it's still the same Leaf.

As a note: blackfog2023 will go on the Adjusted verse assumption unless someone asked otherwise

Main Leaf:

Rainbow Rocket invaded Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn in the main world. Cinnabar Island was wiped off of the map for about 9 months or so before Heidi recreated it using her Arceus powers.

Mewtwo was RR Giovanni's Mewtwo. She caught it after a chase for 4 months within the Embedded Tower.

Leaf is considered the Nuevo Hero of Truth but has Kuro (Zekrom). Zinnia's the Nuevo Hero of Ideals but has Shiro (Reshiram). Both Kuro and Shiro are only 3 or 4 years old and ARE NOT the BW Zekrom/Reshiram. Leaf obtained the extra Black Stone from Hilda and obtained Kuro mid-Mewtwo fight.

Leaf Travels to Ultra Space partially to obtain more information about the difference between the different Legendary Pokémon. Amaterasu (Izanami's Solgaleo child) takes her there all of the time. She's currently worried about a potential return of Team Rainbow Rocket, despite the loss of Giovanni and all of the admins.

Adjusted Leaf:

There was a Rainbow Rocket incident that occurred in Hoenn in the main world (or a Kanto of another world with Zinnia and crew). Cinnabar is fine (well, as fine as GSC Cinnabar can be I guess)

Mewtwo was RR Giovanni's Mewtwo. She caught it in Hoenn / Ultra Space.

Leaf obtained the Black Stone (and Zinnia obtained the White Stone) from an excursion in another world. She caught Kuro in Ultra Space as well.

Same as Main Leaf.

Ultra Space Leaf:

Notes 1-4 of Main Leaf happened in Leaf's original world, with one additional note:

She's travelling through the world with Amaterasu, Izanami's Solgaleo. He doesn't battle at all and she's not his trainer, but you may see it from time to time when regrouping with others of the main world.

oh, it is ABSOLUTELY a fool's dream, unfortunately. but i dunno, i'm twenty-four now. i got diamond back in 2007 when i was nine. i've grown up with this series, and i really wish they'd do more for the lore on the HISTORICAL side, y'know? like, there's plenty of lore about pokémon themselves, but nothing about the regions and how they developed. i imagine it's because they don't wanna step on people's toes and Accidentally Imply The Poke-Holocaust Is A Thing or something (or have shitty people take something innocuous and run with it), but... the history nerd in me screams and wails in agony. GIVE ME MY HISTORY LESSON, GAMEFREAK!!!

but yeah long story short you write good about kamado. all other stuff is kamado getting dunked on. it not fair. i like old man. i no like twink. i no like Funnie Subway Men. i see twink fanart all the time. i see Funnie Subway Men everywhere. i get mad. i come to you to talk with you bc you write good about old man. i send you internet hug.

btw, the name's emmett. it truly is a pleasure to meet ya ^^

Hey! Someone else who started with Diamond! There’s definitely some logic to that. And there’s certainly a risk of coming off as tasteless when you get sloppy with history, which you’d especially want to avoid in something marketed at kids. But I completely understand with your point about coming back to the series, having grown up with it, and wishing there was more of a world to dig into.

As for Kamado. Well, if there’s one thing I’ve learned about Tumblr, it’s that twinks and funnie dudes with sad backstories will always rule the roost in fandom. No time for the sad old folks (god, it’s Asgore Dreemurr all over again). Still, I’m glad that my writing was able to fill the void at least a little.

Thanks again, Emmett. The pleasure’s all mine.
