#Soleil Sycamore

[pkmn-villians-next-generation]

🦁👑I wanted to make my little lion lovers, Leo and his sister Soleil, both children of Lyssandre and Sycamore. Lately I have left them aside a lot and I would like to do more things with them.👑🦁

“So how’s the Kalos region going for you Bo?”

Oh yknow, great.

[falseimmortalities]

√ Hello, I am Novae! In addition to being a service Rotom, I also provide translations and transcripts! Enjoy! √

√ Video file attached; Translated from Kalosian to Unovan; Lumiose City, Kalos √

The video begins focused on Val, with a group of student researchers gathered around him in the atrium of the lab. Standing next to him, well, leaning on his shoulder, is Professor Sycamore. He looks down at Val with a soft smile on his face as it speaks to the gathered students.

"The atrium here is where my team and I do a lot of our work! In addition to keeping an eye on the local populations of pokemon in Kalos, we also help rehabilitate and care for pokemon who cannot go back into the wild or just need a little more of a push to head back out."

There is a wince from Val as suddenly a sneasel pops up onto its shoulder and cries out.

"Ah, and this one is a special case," There's an annoyance in his tone as he moves to attempt to pull the sneasel off his shoulder. It cries and wails before stopping once it realizes Val is just going to hold him in its arms. "This is Casimir. He was surrendered to us, in addition to a handful of other pokemon, and has become a permanent resident. Although not ideal, we can take in trainer surrenders, but it is best to leave it to shelters. Casimir and all the other pokemon are special for reasons I am unaware of. Although I would gladly like to return him to his OT..."

There's a sigh from Val before he moves to set the sneasel down, much to its dismay. It starts squirming and crying out loudly in his grasp, clinging onto him. He sighs and pulls out an everstone, chalk full of holes and teeth marks, from his labcoat pocket and tosses it off to the side. The sneasel stops its rampage and chases after the stone, giving Val a small moment of reprieve.

"Anyway, that's enough time here. I'm sure you all are more excited to learn about Mega Evolution, hm?"

A few of the students nod and murmur excitedly as their focus shifts to Augustine. Val smiles warmly and gives a quick glance up to the professor before clasping his hands together.

"Well, I will then hand you over to her!" There's a small pause before Val quickly speaks again, rushing his words. "Ah, you're going to be in good hands! He is the leading expert in this field, I mean, ah, of course. Obviously. Anyway." He's cut off by Augustine resting a hand on its shoulder and giving him a small smile.

"Let's first thank Mr. Mondrain for its lovely tour of his research and facilities! Then we all can head up to the second floor and discuss the wonders of Mega Evolution!"

Val sighs softly, then smiles and nods as students pass, each giving a small "thank you" as they file out. When it's just the two in frame, Augustine sighs.

"Her?"

"Slip of the tongue, désolé mon Soleil."

Augustine smiles and nods, then leans down to quickly kiss his cheek.

"Would you like to continue on with the tour? You are my head assistant."

"Of course, my dear. I wouldn't want to miss a second of your demonstrations."

@oneiricfallacy said Calem rights

"Ah, you must be Emilio Campanelli. One of Professor Sycamore's students, so he tells me."

Calem was a name reserved for friends, and he had just met this particular student of the professor's in person. Well, not counting for that coincidental meeting at the Soleil Cafe. Still, he offered a polite bow in greeting.

"As well as a rather talented musician. I've heard a few of your songs, and I can see that you've made a great effort to entertain those who chose to listen."

[pokeformer]

Hello! I read through your bio, and I saw that your father owns Cafe Soliel! I love that place! My parents live just down the street, so we went there for breakfast all the time! I know a lot of celebrities go there, have you met any?

Aww, thank you!! I'll be sure to tell my dad how much you appreciate the café! He'd be so touched. ♡ As for celebrities, I know that Diantha frequents Café Soleil often. Sometimes she brings Professor Sycamore with her. They were actually how I got Mage—usually in order to get one of the three lab starters, you need a connection with the professor. I was lucky enough that Diantha brought me up to Prof. Sycamore! She was under the impression that I didn't have a starter at the time (Zorro), but they said it was okay after I told them. They're so nice... I have to admit that when I was younger, I've eavesdropped on their conversations a few times. They bring up a guy called Lysandre a lot. I wonder if he's their friend? How come he never shows up with them?

I can't wait for winter break! I miss my family and the café.

[cheemken]

Thinking abt my lil SilkWing au now and just chmdnd

Imagine another conference in Kalos, Lance, Iris, and Silver be there ofc, w Iris and Silver representing Johto and Kalos respectively, as Diantha and Lance wanted to see how they'd fair battling trainers from all over the world, plus the other regions' Champions also had promising young trainers to represent for them too

Like, yeah okay, Silver is like,, nineteen in this so Iris is at least seventeen, and they're already strong trainers yknow, ofc they are, their parents are Champions, ofc they have champion level strength too

And like, imagine Silver and his friends were at Lumiose, at Café Soleil, then they hear a bunch of trainers saying how this one guy w them, Calem, is probably gonna come out on top the top four at least, as he was also close to beating Diantha but unfortunately Dia pulled through and he lost

Silver laughing at that tho, and went to them, going "you? At the top four? Oh please, you won't make it past the first round." Gold already has his phone at hand, it was always entertaining to see Silver fight someone, Kris just let it be, she knows from years being w the boys that she couldn't stop them

The Kalos kids look at him, low-key pissed, and Calem stands from his seat, glaring at him "you're one to talk, I'm sure I can beat you. Who do you even think you are?"

And Silver smirks at him, feeling all high and mighty, "the future Champion of Kalos, of course."

It finally dawned on the others just who he was, Shauna spoke up, "wait are you.. Silver Blackthorn? You're Diantha's son!"

"that's right, and soon enough, I'll be this region's reigning Champion!" He said.

Calem scoffed at that, "future Kalos Champion my ass. You're probably all bark and no bite, I can and will beat you in this tournament."

"give it your best shot, then," he smirked, "I'm not losing to someone weak like you."

And the Johto trio finally left them be, once outside, Kris just gives Silver this look all "yknow, when you said I should go with you guys and that your uncle will give me a Pokédex, you picking up a fight with Kalos' trainers isn't what I expected to see instead."

Then Gold just laughs at that, "you should know by now Silver picks up a fight with anyone"

"I know, and everytime it still surprises me"

But Silver cuts in all "you're still getting that Pokédex, don't worry, from what I've heard no one in Kalos has completed it yet, I'm sure you can." Then he added with a smirk, "shows how weak those guys at the café are, uncle Augustine gave all of them the Pokédex and none of them even managed to complete it yet. Pathetic."

As arrogant as he was, Kris admits, it was quite endearing, so they went on their way, heading to Sycamore's lab

The pokemon oc no one asked for 🤩

Connor is the child of Lysandre. He ran away when he was 6 because of neglect and the fact his partner Fennekin was threatened. When he ran away his father was visiting Unova so he ended up being stuck there until N found him when he was 8. Connor ended up growing up in the Plasma Castle, though, he never fully believed in Pokemon liberation because he wanted to see the world for himself before he made his choice. Eventually he was able to leave the castle when he was 11 and met Hilbert, at this time his partner was now a Braixen. When he first met Hilbert it was right after his first battle with N so Connor got to hear Hilbert's whole league dream that he shouts whenever he gets the chance. After traveling with Hilbert and Hilda (forgot to mention she's here) he decided he still wasn't sure on what was right for Pokemon and maybe he'd never know. Connor returns to the Plasma Castle only to discover its in ruins. Thankfully the Shadow Triad is there to explain what happened. After learning no one knew where N was he basically broke down (N was like a father to him). Connor decided to stay at the castle because it was the only home he knew. The Shadow Triad leaves him with Team Plasma's whereabouts.

Enter black/white 2. Connor, after some consideration joins Team Neo Plasma and because he was raised almost completely by N he's given a high rank immediately. Connor having common sense refuses to where the outfit except for the hat and because of his high ranking it's accepted. While in Neo Plasma he mainly helps Colress with his research on Kyreum and even creates some Colress Machines. He is soon given a mission to watch some kids who have been messing up Team Plasma's plans these kids being Nate, Rosa, and Hugh. Connor takes interest (not a romantic one he just wants a friend) in Hugh seeing his determination to get back his sisters Purrloin. Of course Connor has no idea of Ghetsis' true intentions. He appears with Colress on Route 4 where all the Crustle are and challenges Rosa to a battle. She wins and the game proceeds normally until the Plasma Frigate when Rosa and Nate separate from Hugh. Hugh ends up having to battle Connor and try to get through to him that it's not his job to carry out N's ideal. He eventually gets through to him and Hugh moves on to help Rosa and Nate. After everything happens Connor reunites with N and everything is great until he has the wonderful idea to go visit Kalos because it's his birthplace.

Pokemon XY arc. When Connor goes back to Kalos he is 16 and has a full team those being

Delpox

Serperior

Luxray

Excadrill

Aurorus

Noivern

For obvious reasons he isn't here to see his dad and instead Professor Sycamore. He makes his way to Lumiose City and meets Serena, Calem and Shauna who are picking their Kanto starter pokemon. Just to clarify Serena picks Chespin and Charmander, Calem picks Froakie and Bulbasaur and Shauna picks Fennekin and Squirtle. Sycamore introduces Connor to them as a friend of his and Connor upon being the same age as these three is asked to travel with them which he accepts. He goes off on his own a lot of times and mainly only appears when Team Flare is present and sometimes to give tips on gyms. When he does show up after a Team Flare attack it's mainly to shame their ambitions and make known his own beliefs that the world's imperfections are what make us who we are and is what we ultimately learn from. Now, before all this Connor joins in on the conversation in Café Soleil taking Diantha's side and leaving Lysandre with a completely shocked expression. When Serena and Calem have infiltrated Team Flare's Secret HQ the first battle with Lysandre is interrupted by Connor and Delphox. He tells Serena he'll take over the battle from there and that they should continue on and find the Ultimate Weapon in which they both end up catching the legendary pokemon. Calem catches Xerneas and Serena catches Yveltal. Serena faces off against Lysandre and wins but Lysandre still uses the Ultimate Weapon. They all leave and Serena has to tell Connor that his dad is dead. It doesn't really go well with him because even after everything that was still his dad and he gets the group hug he deserves from Serena, Calem and Shauna.

Bonus: Serena is the one who wins the pokemon league

There is an Alola adventure but it isn't as important as these three it's basically him meeting Grimsley and going back to Unova to become Elite Four in Grimsley's place. He also has to fight Lysandre again because of Rainbow Rocket and catches Zygarde.

The Favor Pt 3

The pair decided to stop by Cafe Soleil on their way to their apartment. It was nearby and they were hungry. They both froze when they saw who was in the cafe as well. Marcel froze because he ran into Lysandre again, and Wyatt froze because of the lady Lysandre was talking to, Diantha. Lysandre paused in his conversation when he noticed the two star struck boys.

“What a coincidence running into you two so soon. Marcel was it? And-”

“S-W-Wyatt. Wyatt.” He almost messed up big time, but if either of the big shots in the cafe noticed, they didn’t say anything.

“Who are your friends, Lysandre?” Diantha asked, she seemed almost grateful for a change in topic.

“Oh, this is Marcel and Wyatt. We’ve just met at Professor Sycamore’s lab,”Lysandre explained.

“I see. It’s nice to meet you both,”

“I-It’s nice to meet you too! I’m a big fan! I’ve seen like all your movies. I especially loved you in ‘My Sweet, Sweet Lady’,”Wyatt cut himself off before he could ramble like Marcel did earlier.

Diantha giggled behind her hand,”That’s so sweet, thank you. Are you two trainers?”

“No-I-I mean yes!” Wyatt stammered out.

“He is, I’m not,”Marcel corrected,”But he is new at this.”

“I see. Well, I hope to get to see what heights you and your pokemon reach, Wyatt.”

“T-thank you!”

“Goodbye, you too. Talk to you soon, Lysandre,” With that Diantha leaves. Lysandre says his goodbyes before heading out as well.

“‘I’ve seen like all your movies’”Marcel mocked back, getting his revenge from earlier, and getting satisfaction from seeing his friend blush.

“Ugh. Let’s just eat so I have the energy to dig myself a hole,”Wyatt groaned.

“I think you already did, actually,”Marcel chuckled,”Who was she anyway? An actress?”

“An actress, a Grand Duchess, and the Kalos Region Champion. She really can do it all.” Wyatt said,”She actually was a child star, did you know? And-”

“I didn’t know actually. But that’s interesting. You can tell me more after we order.”

“Oh, right.”

🦁🦁Perfectworldshipping family or pyroar family xd

I love draw these two with Soleil and Leo🦁🦁

[pkmn-villians-next-generation]

🦁Fankidtober day 5: Soleil Sycamore🦁

I got to draw one of my favorite girls, Lyssandre and Sycamore's little sun, Soleil.

I have already talked about her before, but I will add some information.

She works for his father as a professor assistant and helps the new trainers in any way possible so that their trip goes well.

She gets along quite well with Serena, who has encouraged her to enter contests with her Pokémon.

She always maintains an aura of happiness, and is also dedicated to learning everything possible about mega evolution and legendary Pokémon.

She gets along very well with the RR's children, especially with Star whom she has known for a long time.

The Yellow square is the starter

The red star means that the pokemon is shiny.

french lysandre full TL

finally, here it is, all of lysandre's french lines, translated into english by meeee

disclaimer: i am not a professional translator. i've tried to keep the original vibes/phrasings as much as possible, since the point of this translation is to show off the original vibes and not to adapt them back into english (what would even be the point, considering there's already an official english translation...) i've added notes to highlight some things, but if you'd like more info/clarification please feel free to ask me (via asks not replies if possible, it's just more convenient that way for me to keep track.)

i might also translate sycamore's at some point ? altho idk if there's as much of a difference. i'll have to check.

i've formatted this so that you can compare the english lines (indented and in italics) and the french lines (no formatting) easily. credits go to poképedia and bulbapedia for gathering all the lines, thank you for not making me have to go through let's plays to write it all down. credits go to newtiteuf's pokémon y let's play for the screenshots (and all screenshots i have taken for my french lysandre posts in general!)

i'll link relevant posts when they come up, but if you'd like to see more french lysandre material/individual posts about french lysandre shenanigans, feel free to check my tag.

Sycamore Lab / Laboratoire Platane

So, I will be able to meet them soon, then.

Well then, I'll finally have the pleasure of meeting them!

The children chosen by the professor… I wonder what potential they have.

The children picked – nay, chosen! – by the Professor. Whatever potential do these brilliant young people harbor?

T/N: these particular asides between dashes come back fairly often with him. literally, i would translate them as "what am i saying" but the vibe is the same. it's a very dramatic, high-class type of speech.

Oh! You received a Pokédex from the professor then… How wonderful! That is a wonderful thing, indeed. You are one of the chosen ones.

How about that! So the Professor has entrusted you with a Pokédex? This pleases me! You can't imagine the joy that meeting you brings me, young prodigy.

I am Lysandre. I've tried to learn as much about Pokémon as I can to help build a brighter future. Professor Sycamore has taught me so much.

My name is Lysandre. In order to ensure a brilliant future for this world, I've furthered my research on Pokémon as much as I could, under the Professor's benevolent guidance.

Oh, I see you have a Holo Caster! Knowledge is power, after all. Put it to good use.

And what's this? Could this be a Holo Caster? 'Knowledge is power.' Remember this saying well, and put it to good use.

Now listen! It is vital that this world become a better place. And the people and Pokémon chosen to make the world better must work tirelessly to achieve this goal.

The world shouldn't be better... it MUST become better. And in the pursuit of this great cause, chosen ones, humans and Pokémon, must work together relentlessly. 

Well, I'll be off. Please give Professor Sycamore my best.

You'll have to excuse me, duty calls. Please pass on my warmest regards to the Professor!

My desire… it is for a more beautiful world!

I crave a new world! A more beautiful world!!!

T/N: literally he says he's thirsty for a new world but it just sounds too weird in english lbr. also when he says "the world must become better" it's explicitly like... the world has a DUTY to become better, basically. AND YES HE DOES USE 3 EXCLAMATION POINTS

Café Soleil

You played a young girl so wonderfully in your debut on the silver screen. Wouldn't you rather remain young and beautiful forever and always play such roles?

Your debut movie role has always fascinated me. This quite young girl, so pure, fresh, innocent! What wouldn't you give to play these kinds of roles again and again?

You were chosen to be a movie star, correct? Isn't it your duty to be ever beautiful?

My dear, you're sorely mistaken! What about your responsibility? It is your duty as an actress to remain ever beautiful. 

Everything beautiful should stay that way forever. (X) I would make this world unchanging and eternal so all beauty will last forever. (Y) I would end the world in an instant so that beauty never fades. I can't stand the thought of the world becoming uglier.

If it was within my power,

(X) I would make this world into a place of imperishable... immutable beauty!

(Y) I would disintegrate this world in an instant so that beauty could remain unaltered... eternal!

I cannot bear decrepitude and degeneration!

Oh. Hello, Player. This is Diantha, one of the most accomplished movie stars in Kalos. She moves the multitudes with her excellent acting… Which is to say, she dedicates her life to making other people happy. Oh! If only everyone were like her--what a beautiful world this would be!

But look who's here! Dear Player! Allow me the pleasure of introducing you to lovely Diantha, the actress Kalos can take great pride in! Her performances have consistently been praised by the public – public that she knows how to affect with her immense talent. Her entire life is therefore dedicated to other people's happiness. Oh, if only the world could follow her example, what kind of paradise of beauty would we live in!

If you'll excuse me.

Now, please excuse me. Madame, mademoiselle, young man…

Port Tempères / Coumarine City (Holo Caster)

Professor Sycamore told me you can now wield Mega Evolution. That is truly wonderful. With that power, you can steer your future in a better direction! We can't just cover up the old filth with new filth! I implore you to consider what we need to do to change the world into a new, beautiful world!

Professor Sycamore has informed me that you've recently discovered how to use the power of Mega Evolution. You truly are a chosen one! You now have the opportunity – nay, the duty! – to change the world and give it a better future. And to make the world more beautiful, think carefully about what you must undertake. We can no longer settle for hiding the grime of the past under that of the present.

---

Café Lysandre

I would like to congratulate you as well. Mega Evolution is something I, too, would like to be able to use.

I wanted to convey my congratulations in person! Mega Evolution, now there's something I would very much like to make use of.

True. I'm a descendant of the king's younger brother. That being said, that story is 3,000 years old, so it might not be entirely reliable.

That's right. I am – or rather, may be – the king's descendant, via the cadet branch. But seeing as all of this dates back over 3000 years, I harbor few illusions regarding this ancient legacy.

People can be divided into two groups. Those who give... And those who take... It's just as how the Kalos region's two Legendary Pokémon gave life and took life. I want to be the kind of person who gives...

People are akin to the two Legendary Pokémon of Kalos: there are those who give, and there are those who take! It is my duty to be remembered as the bestower, the one who made a difference! 

But in this world, some foolish humans exist who would show their strength by taking what isn't theirs. They're filth!

Alas, in this world, parasitic imbeciles believe it necessary to deprive and take in order to show off their brute strength. They're revolting! They're the dregs of humanity!

Long, long ago, the king of Kalos sought to take everything for his own, and he created a terrible weapon. Then the fire of destruction was unleashed… That is the legend that has been passed down.

In the distant past, the king of Kalos had a weapon of unbelievable power built. And with the goal of taking over the world, he lit up the flames of death! At least, that's what the legend says.

Kalos is beautiful right now! There will be no foolish actions if the number of people and Pokémon do not increase. That being said, the future isn't decided. You can't be sure each day will be like the one before.

Today, Kalos is resplendent! At the pinnacle of beauty! If Pokémon and humans do not proliferate further, no foolish action will come to disturb this perfect order. But the future is uncertain! How can we know if tomorrow will be the same as today?

What the king of Kalos did was reprehensible, but... The ultimate weapon did manage to wash the world clean of that era's filth.

As for the king, can we find extenuating circumstances behind his act? Certainly. Thanks to the ultimate weapon, he erased all of the ugliness that defaced the world in his time.

Thank you for listening. Take that as an apology for my taking up your time.

Here I am, letting myself get carried away once again. Thank you again for your time and your attention. Keep this item, you can have it as an apology for delaying you.

Route 15 (Holo Caster)

According to Professor Sycamore's research, Mega Evolution releases all of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once. The Pokémon then exhibits a level of power it could not attain through ordinary Evolution. What meaning can we draw from this? Do all people and Pokémon have such potential, or is it hidden within a chosen few?

According to Professor Sycamore's research, it would seem that Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to temporarily release an extreme amount of energy, that they then convert to increase their power to a level that's unreachable as part of regular evolution. Do all humans and all Pokémon possess this kind of hidden power? Is it reserved to a chosen few? In your opinion, what could all of this mean?

Flusselles / Anistar City (Holo Caster)

Pokémon Trainers. I come to you by the Holo Caster to make an important announcement. Listen well.

To all Holo Caster owners! 

Team Flare will revive the ultimate weapon, eliminate everyone who isn’t in our group, and return the world to a beautiful, natural state.

Team Flare has revived the ultimate weapon and is about to purify the world! Team Flare will be the only survivor of the oncoming cataclysm, and shall live in a world of perfect beauty.

Unproductive fools are consuming our future... If nothing changes, the world will become ugly and conflicts will raze the land from end to end.

As of today, parasites nibble – nay, devour! – the last few riches of the world and mortgage its future. Because of these profiteers, world war for the control of resources is assured!

I repeat. We will use the ultimate weapon and wipe the slate clean. I’m sorry, those of you who are not members of Team Flare, but this is adieu to you all.

Preventive elimination is the only solution. The ultimate weapon will allow for a fresh start.

Team Flare will prevail.

Labos Lysandre / Lysandre Labs

Welcome. This world will eventually reach the point of no return… Saving the lives of all is impossible. Only the chosen ones will obtain a ticket to tomorrow.

Welcome! The world is rushing toward the depths! And not everybody shall be saved! Only the chosen ones will be guaranteed safe passage toward better tomorrows... or simply any tomorrow at all! 

Do you want to have a ticket? Or, do you want to stop me?

Do you believe yourself to be a chosen one? Are you here to retrieve your free pass for the future? Or do you believe yourself able to stop the course of destiny?

Show me in battle.

Let's not bother with words. Show me! May the battle begin!

Excellent! I can feel the fire of your convictions burning deep within your heart!

Your determination is the fire that guides you! Good, very good!

T/N: he uses "vous" here which seems to imply he's speaking to multiple people; from context i'm assuming he's referring to the player and their team.

Wah ha ha! Your convictions, and those of your Pokémon, please me!

I'm... This is prodigious, yes, this is simply prodigious! Our Pokémon have shown the full measure of their skill! I feel entranced! 

You are here to stop me. But I ask you to wait. I tried to save people--and the world--with the profit from this lab. But my efforts had no effect... The world was just too vast...and too full of fools that I couldn't save through my hard work alone... That's why I decided the only way to save the world was to take it all for myself.

So you wish to stop the course of the destiny I steer and govern. Very well. But, if you please, think for a moment. It goes without saying that with the profits generated by my laboratory, I've tried to save the world. Yet, it was a lost cause: it's much too vast! My efforts are but a drop in the ocean, and this planet is populated by so many parasitic imbeciles. Then, if I can't save the world, if it's unredeemable, I can make it MINE!

T/N: the word i translated as "unredeemable" is "irrémissible" and it is literally the most try-hard r/iamverysmart word he could have used. i get mad just thinking about it.

I don't expect that I will ever make you understand how I think and feel... Try to stop the ultimate weapon if you must, but to do so, you will have to explore our lab and have Pokémon battles with all you meet.

No, I do not hope that you could share the ideals that inhabit me. But since you want to stop me at all costs, why don't you pay this laboratory a visit. Fight against those who share my dream. Then, who knows…

Oh, and as for the Elevator Key, one of the Team Flare Scientists you've met on your journey has it.

The key to the elevator is in the hands of one of my assistants.

T/N: "assistants" here being gendered female to refer to one of the Team Flare Scientists (sans Xerosic.)

Saving everything... The world is suffering because of this absurd dream...

Saving all beings... It's a fairytale! A shameful lie that can only lead this world to ruin!

That is AZ. He has the same name as a king that lived 3,000 years ago. And for some unknown reason, he had the key to the ultimate weapon hung around his neck. It's finally time. Follow me to my chambers.

Let me introduce AZ! This circus freak bears the same name as the legendary sovereign. And for some peculiar reason, he was even wearing the key to the ultimate weapon around his neck... Providence works in mysterious ways. But enough pointless chatter. It's time for you to join me in my chambers.

T/N: i didn't translate it literally because it sounds weird in english but he does use the same phrasing as the french equivalent of "God/The Lord works in mysterious ways."

(To Xerosic.) The only thing left to do is put the plan in motion. I'm counting on you.

(To Xerosic.) All that's left is for us to take action... I'm counting on you.

(To the player.) One push of a button, and we can activate the ultimate weapon from this room.

(To the player.) One of these two switches operates the awakening of the ultimate weapon.

I believe being a chosen one means you have the potential to change the future! Whether we activate the ultimate weapon or leave it safely underground will rest upon if you actually have this potential or not.

Since you're Sycamore's chosen one, it seems fair to offer you the opportunity to change the course of destiny. With great power comes great responsibility! Will you awaken the ultimate weapon, or will you seal it forever at the bottom of history's trash cans?

Repaire Team Flare / Team Flare Secret HQ

The ultimate weapon's flower has finally bloomed above the soil. Don't you find its beauty captivating? As we speak, it draws its energy from the Legendary Pokémon.

At last, my beautiful, my sublime flower of desolation has risen from the ground! So much beauty, you, too, must find this fascinating? The most beautiful flowerings are those born from suffering, and this one is no exception: its sap – its juice! – is the Legendary Pokémon's energy!

(If the player pressed the blue button.) Player! I apologize that the weapon was unearthed even after you chose correctly in the lab. But conflicting egos drive this world--things don't always go the way you want!

(If the player pressed the blue button.) Player! I'm sorry we denied you victory, even though you'd found the right answer back at the laboratory. Please accept my apologies. But the course of this world is governed by the brush, the intersection – sometimes the clash! – of egos and conflicting feelings.

Even though resources, space, and energy on this planet are limited, the number of people and Pokémon has increased to an unsustainable level. Whether it's money or energy, the ones who steal are the ones who win in this world.

This world's resources are limited – nay, finite! This planet can no longer withstand this onslaught of existences, human or Pokémon, that it's being subjected to. If we won't reject this world, we must want to conquer it! And the world belongs to those who will take it, to those who will seize what matters, money or energy.

So, tell me. The Mega Ring, did you share it?

Then, tell me... I seem to remember that you've only got one Mega Ring. Did you share it?

When there is only one of something, it can't be shared. When something can't be shared, it will be fought over. And when something is fought over, some must survive without it. The only way to create a world where people live in beauty, a world without conflict or theft, is to reduce the number of living things.

Really? When something is unique, it can't be shared: you must take it! There it is, the sad rule of this world! Things end up becoming scarce and people fight for scraps. To eradicate the ugliness of these behaviors and live in a radiant – sublime! – world, we must eradicate the parasites! Necessity, this imperious law of nature that governs everything, holds onto the sprouts of life within the required limits. And the race of men cannot escape it through any effort of the mind.

Pokémon... Shall no longer exist. Pokémon are wonderful beings. Humans have worked with Pokémon, and we have helped each other flourish. But precisely because of that, they will inevitably become tools for war and theft!

Pokémons... ...are doomed to disappear! Their existence is a miracle of life. They've allowed the human race to flourish. And this is precisely for this reason that they would end up becoming instruments of war. My duty is to prevent such a thing! 

Enough of this. You want to stop the ultimate weapon, and I refuse to do so. So, I will keep you busy for just a moment...

Enough talk. You're here to stop the ultimate weapon. It is my duty to stop you. En garde!

The strength to protect, huh? But what are you really protecting? A tomorrow that will only end up being worse than today?

The will to protect gives you strength? But what do you even have to protect? A future darkening day by day?

You're as strong as ever. But... It's too late! There's no hope for you now! Go down to the lowest floor, and see for yourself!

I expected nothing less! Your strength and bravery are impressive. But you're too late. All hope has vanished – nay, died! Come downstairs and see for yourself.

(Yveltal/Xerneas encounter goes there.)

What a startling development! I never would've thought you were really a chosen one!

Deus ex machina! You really are a chosen one, even more than I could have ever admitted!

So THIS is the mighty Xerneas/Yveltal?! I expected more from a Pokémon called a legend! You desire help from people? YOU need help from a human?

My poor Xerneas/Yveltal, you make for a puny Legendary Pokémon in this state. Why ask humans to help? Do you really need their strength?

For me, victory is using the ultimate weapon. In order to do that, I need to reclaim the Legendary Pokémon's power and send it to that weapon once again.

You don't cast judgment on a victor. And my victory depends on the activation of the ultimate weapon. Since the Legendary Pokémon has regained its strength, it's high time we reconnect it to the ultimate weapon for a useful sacrifice!

I'll be taking the Legendary Pokémon back now! This time, I won't lose. I, too, shall use the Mega Ring and Mega Stone that you researched during your travels.

Now, enough of this childishness. Give me back what you owe me! No victor believes in chance! Therefore, I have taken the necessary precautions. You're not the only ones who've done your research. I, too, have obtained a Mega Ring and a Mega Stone!

It's over... Fools with no vision will continue to befoul this beautiful world. They will go on until the only thing left to do is squabble over the remaining scraps of hope...

It's all over... This world will be soiled by humans devoid of any vision for the future. They will then scramble for the remaining shreds of hope, fighting each other miserably.

Whaugh!

ENOUGH!

If that were possible, all wars would have ended long ago! I can only see one future! One where selfish, foolish humans think about nothing other than themselves and steal more and more from one another... It's a tragic future!

Nonsense! Why haven't wars already disappeared, if the world is so well-intentioned? Oh, I can see it, this beautiful future together that you're promising me! Abundance becoming famine! Order and harmony, disturbed! People blinded by their egotism, tearing each other apart for crumbs! I CATEGORICALLY reject a future this wretched! 

The original purpose of this device was to bring a Pokémon back to life. But the ancient king transformed it into this ultimate weapon...

Originally, this device was conceived to give back life to a deceased Pokémon. Yet, the sovereign of yesteryear made it into the ultimate weapon, an implement of destruction! 

Hmm. When the Legendary Pokémon awakened, it took back much of its energy--its power--that had been sent to the ultimate weapon. There's not much power left... But there IS enough to use it once...

Very well. The Legendary Pokémon has nearly recovered all of its strength, and there's only a little energy left in the ultimate weapon. But enough for one shot, and perhaps the fulfillment of my wishes. The future belongs to the bold!

Player, Sycamore's pupils… (X) Let us live forever… That's right! I shall grant you eternal life! I'll give you the pain of endlessly waiting for a beautiful world to finally be built! (Y) The ultimate weapon is a flower that bloomed to no avail… Just like me… But this ends here! I will show what its remaining power can do!

Listen to me, Sycamore's little protégés! 

(X) Truly become chosen ones! Join me in immortality! We'll have all of eternity to build our world of beauty. 

(Y) Yes, the ultimate weapon, just like me, is a symbol of unrealized potential... the picture of absolute waste! But... everything must end here! This remaining energy... will be used to achieve my great work!

T/N: "ultimate waste" just feels weird to me but he's using the same adjective that's used for the weapon in french (it's "l'arme suprême" in french.) also i'm pretty sure "grand œuvre" is an alchemy thing? (also known as "magnum opus" incidentally) unsure whether this is relevant to anything but still thought i'd point it out.

aaand that's all she wrote!

i need to take the time to look through his pokémas lines to see if there's anything interesting there (i doubt it, but who knows.) in any case, i hope you enjoyed taking this journey alongside me.

Noir in Technicolour - Professor Sycamore x F!Reader

A lovely  anon requested a one shot with Sycamore encountering a trainer with a vintage style and red lips! Hope you like it!

Side note, I love vintage clothing, especially fifties style dresses! I have a few and they’re the best! And they have pockets!

Enjoy!

By Arceus,

He is so tired

Even the afternoon sunlight makes him drowsy, its heat feels more languid than bright against his skin as he strolls down the boulevard. His lab coat Is folded over his arm, his shirt unbuttoned just a little more to combat the summer warmth. The streets are lined with immaculate strips of lush grass and planters and pot full of effervescent, vibrant flowers.

It’s good to be outside, to be walking, even just down to Café Soleil. His office is rendered uncomfortably stuffy by the onslaught of the sun, even with windows thrown all the way open. He had to leave, despite all the work he still needs to do, he’s convinced he would have fallen asleep, or suffocated, otherwise.

The café comes into view with its proud red awning, a mother and a child sat beneath it. The chalkboard displays a deal, croissants half off with every warm beverage, his stomach grumbles, and he considers it greatly.

The bell chines as he pushes the glass door open. He’s greeted by gentle chatter and cool air, he nearly melts as he inhales the rich, dark scents of a fresh brew.

The line is long, but the coffee here is the best in the city, and the air conditioning is just sharp enough to keep him awake.

He takes his place behind a young couple, two men dressed in matching t-shirts and shorts, holding hands as they babble. He isn’t really listening, but he can tell by the tones of their voices that they are saying sweet things to each other.

He smiles, to be young and in love again.

He checks his watch. It usually took him five minutes to walk here from the labs, today it took seven. It would take another seven for him to return. He frowns, the queue is moving so slowly, if this keeps up, he will have to stay later tonight to finish up. He hopes the service is quick today.

The bell chines again, heat rushes inside as the door opens. He’s not a nosy person by nature, but he needs something to pass the time, so he turns his head to witness the café’s latest patron.

He has to restrain himself from gasping as you enter, your Delcatty prowling by your side. You’re dressed in a crisp white blouse, and a vintage, knee-length maroon skirt, a silk scarf tied around your neck. Your sunhat rests at a jaunty angle atop your expertly sculpted curls, an unfezant feather sprouts upwards from its crown.

You look like you’ve stepped out of a noir film, like a femme fatale in technicolour. You lack that dangerous edge though, your eyes are full of an inviting gleam, your soft lips are pulled into an easy smile, and painted in perfect scarlet.

Arceus

He loves red lipstick

He catches himself smiling at you, you seem to catch it too, regarding him with a nod. He grins sheepishly and turns away, pretending to check his watch.

He wonders why you’re dressed like that, are you an actress taking a break from filming? If that’s the case, surely he should be able to recognise a beauty like you.

It must just be your style. He has to say, you look gorgeous in it, like the classic starlets of old. You stand out among even those in business suits, your clothes give you a romantic, nostalgic charm that theirs simply lack.

He wants to look at you again, but that would be inappropriate, even in his fatigue he is aware how creepy it might come off.  He feels something tug lightly at his trousers, then something grazes against his shin. He looks down, a bit befuddled, your Delcatty meows as she paws at his leg.

“Norma!” you exclaim, your Delcatty lets go and looks at you with a deliberately coy look. He chuckles at her brazenness as she slinks back over to you.

“Oh my! I’m so sorry about her!” you say apologetically, reaching down to pick her up. “Don’t worry” he replies kindly, turning to look at you again. You smile at him, a bit flustered by your cheeky partner Pokemon.

“Professor Augustine Sycamore” He says as he extends his hand, you shake it, your skin is soft but your grasp is deftly firm.

“I’m accountant (Name) (Surname)” you chime with a grin, letting go off his hand to give Norma a scratch under her chin. “Coffee run?” He asks and you shake your head. “Lunch run actually. The Monte Cristos here are amazing!”

He chuckles and agrees with a nod. “That’s true.”

Your conversation continues as the line moves forward, you trade stories of your work days. Ten minutes pass and he has yet to place his order, he doesn’t mind one bit as it means he can talk to you more. In the back of his mind, he knows his work is piling up moment by moment, he would not see his bed until very late at night.

“Next!” the barista calls, interrupting your chat. He steps forward to the counter, but before placing his order, he turns to you. “Allow me to buy your lunch”

You look at him, a bit surprised, but pleasantly so. “You’re such a gentleman! Are you sure?”

He nods and smiles at you. In turn, you nod and tell him what you would like.

“Two Monte Cristos and two Cappucinos please” he says to the barista, she takes it down and rings up the total. He hands her the cash, insisting she take the change.

“To stay or to go?” she asks, eyeing the two of you.

He glances at you, finding this adorably coy expression on your face. “Would you, would you like to have lunch with me?”

He’s going to be so late if he agrees, he’s so tired.

“I’d love to!”

Witchcraft

Wand: sycamore, unicorn hair

[The sycamore makes a questing wand, eager for new experience and losing brilliance if engaged in mundane activities. It is a quirk of these handsome wands that they may combust if allowed to become ‘bored’, and many witches and wizards, settling down into middle age, are disconcerted to find their trusty wand bursting into flame in their hand as they ask it, one more time, to fetch their slippers. As may be deduced, the sycamore’s ideal owner is curious, vital and adventurous, and when paired with such an owner, it demonstrates a capacity to learn and adapt that earns it a rightful place among the world’s most highly-prized wand woods.]
