She's Actually the Worst /pos

So here's the Jo'on team I teased announced.

(This was the closest character to Jo'on I could find, sorry)

Instead of starting with earlier members of the team, I'mma start with Mienfoo. While I did check her wiki page while making her team, I'm still not 100% certain she's part of the Myouren Temple, but since I like my personal head canon that she joined the temple basically just as a self-help thing, I'm giving her the Mienfoo. (She basically treats her membership into the temple as though it's like a yoga class lol.)

Sableye is one I think is pretty obvious. Jo'on is a gal who likes her gems and jewels, so I think Sableye is a rather fitting member of the team.

My teaser reblog kinda spoiled Kingler's presence. For one thing, she has Kingler lookin ass bangs. More notably though, I'm personally part of the group that believes that Jo'on cons rich men with dates, and I like the idea that she LOVES sea food since it's probably a massive luxory in gensokyo (in this case, sea food means foods you can ONLY find in the sea) given that the place is land locked. I imagine she caught caught a (more than likely fresh water) Kingler due to a mixture of it's battle style gelling with hers (I imagine Jo'on mostly uses physical attackers, if you couldn't tell), as well as occationally (with the Kingler's concent) taking one of the claws as a treat. (Crabs can grow their claws back, so I imagine Kingler can too, plus, it's domestic, so it probably doesn't need them as much.)

So, Scrafty is here based on what I kinda see Jo'on as. I know she's a blinged up God, but the way I see here, she's just a really fancy, well dressed thug, and I think this fact would lead to her almost seeing herself in Scrafty. They're buddies. (My more thuggish, short tempered Jo'on idea mostly comes from an idea I had that Jo'on can, will, and has multiple times before beaten people who harassed her sister to death with nothing but her bare hands and the rings on them.)

Diancie is here pretty much as the crown jewel of her collection of expensive jewelery. She doesn't ONLY treat it as an item, obviously, it is a living thing afterall, but she DID get it as a gift from some rich ass hole she was conning money out of. Probably was given it as "some weird Carbink I found," but I imagine she ABSOLUTALLY knows what Diancie really is. While I see Sableye as her REAL partner Pokemon, Diancie is a close second.

Honestly, the main reason I see her having a Steelix is just because I think Steelix is the big, rough and tumble bruiser type Pokemon that Jo'on would like to use (please ignore its mediocre offenses).

I would have given her a Pokemon to represent Shion, but I both like this team spread for her too much, and also couldn't think of anything to represent Shion that wouldn't come off as HELLA disrespectful. (Yes, I did consider using Garbodor to rep Shion, but I feel like doing so would have probably made Jo'on beat me to death, so yeah.)

Currently trying to lessen the amount of pokemon Luca has right now. He has. A lot. So I'm just trimming things down.

The only thing that stays consistent is his main team!

When playing the teal mask, I actually had a full blown team! But after some thinking, I decided to pretty much cut it into the ones that I felt would stay with Luca. There used to be a Torterra but I genuinely had no real attachment to it sooooo. Yeah. Also of your wondering about Ogerpon....

She's right here! This is Luca's BB league team. The one I spend waaaaaaay too long getting ready for but honestly? I had lots of fun with this team! Gholdengo, Ogerpon and Flutter Mane are beasts but what else is new. Though I didn't feel like I was sweeping the game, which is good!

And lastly l, miscellaneous/ extras! I really trimmed this part. Koraidon doesn't battle much, and is often used for transportation. Terapogos is honestly a baby. Florges was planned to be on the BB team but got replaced, but I like her a lot so she stays. I don't have Primarina in game but I do in my heart. And Garganacl n Kilowattrel where the early game mons that I genuinely loved too much to let go. There was a Alolan Ninetales but given how I didn't use him much, I'm thinking of just reverting him to a Vulpix that Luca sends to his mom or sister. And lastly, there's a Grafaiai that isn't shown here. He doesn't battle at all anymore, and is more of a pet. That could change though, bc I honestly have not thought of the thang in forever.

OH FUCK I FORGOT KIERAN'S APPLIN THAT'S SUPER IMPORTANT. It's a shiny ( not in hand lol) and Luca loves him very much.

So that's. 23 pokemon in total ( if I keep Grafaiai). That's. Still a lot. But it doesn't feel as bloated as it did before so. Yaaaay?
