#The Unova chronicles

[ofowlsdinosaursanddragons]

”In a land in a constant struggle of truth and ideals, four heroes brave it all to bring balance to all, lest the frozen devil and the Plasma tyrant bring all to ruin.”

Happy anniversary to Pokemon: Black and White and those who grew up with the gen!

Four Ardain ~Roaming the Route~

Season 3 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips Volume A

Ripped by dante

Its not a secret - dante is full-stop my favorite ripper on the channel, and you're gonna keep seeing him show up!

Aside from his exceptional work on the Christmas Comeback Crisis, a large part of what won me over to dante's style of music was his work on his Pokémon Black & White rips. The album "SILVA GUNNER BEST OF SOUNDTRACK【B/W】" from Season 1 was effectively dante shouting out all of the music he loves into a small album, one mainly focused on anime composer Hiroyuki Sawano and Pokémon Black & White's very distinct instrumentation. That album is excellent in its own right, but Four Ardain ~Roaming the Route~ sticks out to me above even the rips from that album.

Its the kind of super-specific arrangement rip that you'll only get from someone who puts so much of themselves and their influences into what they make as dante - it arranges an overworld theme from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in the instrumentation of Pokémon Black & White. The song pulls absolutely no punches and uses absolutely every part it needs to use from Black and White's instrumentation to its fullest - all for an arrangement that feels mainly made for a sort of self-satisfaction? This isn't a crowdpleaser or an immediately recognizable tune to those out of the loop with Xenoblade, yet its a well loved tune specifically *within* that fanbase. In that sense it feels like a really personal rip, one made to spread the word of Xenoblade's excellent music first and to have wide appeal second.

Simply put - it just sounds fucking cool!!

[updates-from-po-town]

I would love to go to Unova and tarnish the Team Plasma castle's honour even further but I don't think bringing Stubby to Unova is a good idea

He might eat a piece of rubble, find a way to digest it, and start shooting rock dung all around, see

But I give you a few Big Pearls for luck and maybe to sell if you need funds to buy a industry-grade blowtorch

Stubby would bring "trashin the place" to new disgusting levels lmaoooo

hell yeah, thanks Detective, we'll for sure put em to good use!

[chronicles-cc]

idk.. a rivalry between those 'in service' of the sun & moon respectively, or a single enemy who just wants to snuff out all light. both are interesting.

[spittyfishy]

If the Pokemon world had their own "Remnants of Despair", who do you think would be in it. (Junko somehow made a portal there or something.)

Buckle up fellas this is gonna be a long one

Ooo okay that’s a super interesting thing to think about! There’s a lot of things to consider when picking remnants in this sort of context (fighting tooth and nail against the instinct to just bonk my favs with the villain au bat but I shall resist!)

I think it’s important take how the Pokémon world works into account, like having Junko just physically torture someone into despair (think Chisa) wouldn’t fly, Pokémon’s ratings as a franchised wouldn’t allow it. So I’ve only picked characters who already had something that Junko could pull on to manipulate them into despair. I also tried to get at least one person from every region! I'm not 100% certain about some of these, so I’d definitely love to hear other people’s thoughts! (And let’s see if anyone can guess which character I had the most thoughts for lol)

Kanto:

Chloe: I think I’ve talked about Chloe’s villain au potential before, but at least during the early part of the Journeys anime she fairly closed off and distant, her dad paid more attention to Goh and Ash then to her, and there were loads of instances where he put his Pokémon work above her needs and family plans.

Jessibelle: Listen, Jessie and James are too whimsical for something like this but Jessibelle was already a physically abusive gold digger lol so I’m sure Junko would have something to work with there.

Johto:

Silver: Not only is his dad a globally wanted criminal, but he also abandoned Silver when he went into hiding (I think that’s the backstory at least), and Silver has a lot of dialogue about treating Pokémon only as tools. If being a strong trainer didn’t get Giovanni’s attention, then maybe being a Remnant would.

Clair: Okay I’m going to be honest, I realized there weren’t enough girls on the list and threw Clair on last minute, but she also is super annoying in the Johto games lol. Like come on I won the battle just give me the badge!!

Hoenn:

Courtney: So in the Pokémon Masters phone game there’s a bit where Courtney is shown to really believe in the Team Magma cause and really hates Team Aqua even after everything had been resolved at the end of ORAS, so I think Junko could get her that way. Have Courtney convinced that it’s her duty to keep Team Magma’s ideals alive even if the rest of the team forgot them.

Sinnoh:

Cyrus: Cyrus failed. All that effort to create his perfect world, catching the lake spirits, scaling Mount Corinette, he got so close— Just to have it all come crashing down at the last moment. His life’s work destroyed by some kid! He already had little to no patience for humanity, so thanks to Junko’s influence fine, he’ll make this world so unbearable to live in that people will beg him to create his perfect world at last.

Saturn: Saturn will follow Cyrus anywhere, both Pokémon Masters and the Chronicles of Arceus movie showed that if the Commanders are put in a situation without Cyrus they will go to any lengths to get him back. Saturn's devotion runs deep, so if Cyrus says despair is the answer then that’s what it’ll be.

Unova:

Roxy: I’ve got nothing to justify this one with other then Junko wanted an Ibuki replacement to preform silly little despair concerts and I needed someone to rep Unova.

Kalos:

Sycamore: I’m not the first person to say Sycamore and Lysander were in love if not in a full blown relationship when everything went down in Kalos. But Lysander died, crushed under the weapon he’d risked everything to restore. The longer Sycamore goes without him the more he notices the flaws in humanity Lysander was talking about. People are selfish and greedy, look at the state of the world! Professors in Paldea nearly caused an ecological nightmare! The president of the Galar region Pokémon league almost plunged the world into eternal darkness! Not to mention what the morons over in Hoenn tried to do. If even people that were supposed to be trustworthy were causing this much chaos then there was no hope for the rest of humanity. If he could just get Lysander back, just see him one more time— tell him he’d been right, Sycamore was sorry for not seeing it sooner, that he missed him, and that if he could go back he’d have never given those kids the Pokémon that he was ultimately defeated by. If he could just get him back— if there was just some way— like if there was a big, giant, ancient machine that was capable of bringing back the dead still sitting in pieces in Geosenge Town…

Alola:

Faba: Is anyone really surprised? Faba is a little weasel of a man and will jump ship to whoever currently holds the most power. He could be a Branch Chief again! Or even better, if he does a good enough job maybe Junko will give him the whole Aether Foundation as a reward! (She won’t, but the possibility would always be held over his head to keep him in line)

Hau: Okay but hear me out— in the Ultra games specifically Hau has a few interactions with Guzma where he taunts him about being in his grandpa’s shadow and never being able to prove himself as a strong trainer. Gladion’s dialogue reinforces this, that Hau is always too busy goofing off and never takes anything seriously. If Hau’s just stuck there, his friends surpacing him, his rivals surpacing him, the mantle of Kahuna an unattainable goal constantly hovering over him, all those expectations and the realization he’s never going to meet any of them— it might become too much to deal with.

Galar:

Rose: He was only trying to help! Why couldn’t anyone see that? Galar needed Eternatus and the dynamax particles it could make, Rose had been saving the world! They were all so ungrateful, locking him in jail for saving them, who do they think they are? He made this region into what it is today! Everyone relies on Macro Cosmos, and he ran the entire Pokémon league on top of that! That Leon would be nothing without him! It was a region of ungrateful brats. But even so, he’ll still keep working to ‘help’ them all again, you’re welcome.

Oleana: *holds up photos of Oleana and of Peko* Corporate needs you to find the difference between these two pictures. They’re the same picture.

Raihan: He had to beat him. If he just trained harder, more sandstorms, bigger dragons, if he wanted it more. Leon couldn’t be invincible, he couldn’t be, and Raihan would prove it. Turn all of Galar to a battle ground if he needed, but he was going to take down that champion once and for all.

Paldea:

Kieran: Again, no one’s surprised. Just take BB league champion Kieran and turn him up to 11, and boom. Remnant Kieran. He’s still on a hunt for a legendary Pokémon, if he can just find one of those then he’ll be strong enough to defeat anyone right!

Bonus, all the Team Star bosses: I’m thinking they’d be like the equivalent of the Warriors of Hope, not really part of the Remnants group but still very much in despair. I mean come on, a group of bullied teens like that, Junko would have a field day.

And there we go! 15 Remnants plus five Warriors of Hope! I thoroughly enjoyed this ask, I know some of the concepts were much more fleshed out then others, I almost went with Misty and Brock for Kanto (his parents abandoned him to raise all his younger siblings while being the city gym leader, and Misty was so stuck in her sister's shadow she ran away from home) but I just couldn’t do that to two of my childhood faves. (Pierce and Gladion also almost made the list).

Introduction

Hello rotomblr! My name is Marie! I'm 28 and my pronouns are she/they. Uh, I’m not really sure what to say here…. My therapist suggested I start trying to blog in order to "have some sort of human connection," so here I am!

About me: I used to work in a pokemon spa in Nimbasa. It was super fun seeing all the different pokemon and helping them relax based on whatever their own unique needs were! I had to resign recently and moved back home for personal reasons. So for now it’s just me and Audino!

I guess I spend a lot of my time packing? And organizing? I have been enjoying long walks lately- I live sort of in the middle of nowhere in Unova, so hiking can be pretty nice! Maybe I’ll upload some photos from my walks at some point!

OOC Under the Cut

/// OOC /// Hello! I’m new to rotomblr and tumblr rp in general, so please bear with me if I don’t understand some things at first!! Mod and character are both adults in their late 20s and use she/they pronouns. Also! I am mostly familiar with the pokemon anime, so I might mix some stuff up about the pokemon world or mechanics- again, please bear with me!

This is my character, Marie! She’s a bit of a mess, but she’s trying!

General trigger warning for death, grief, trauma: Marie probably won’t talk about it much, but the behind-the-scenes is that her only parent just died recently, and she had to move back home and get everything in order. So allusions to death/loss/grief might come up in any post, but I will tag anything explicitly about death with a trigger warning. Don’t worry though- she’s grieving and a bit depressed, but she’ll be fine! This is mostly an uplifting and cute slice-of-life style blog, but sad topics might come up sometimes!

This blog will probably be chronicling Marie’s days as she starts to encounter more pokemon and tries to get her life in order.

Any and all asks are appreciated! Even hate-stuff or villain-stuff or whatever (as long as it’s fake-hate and pointed at Marie, not the mod).

[pixelmator5]

I have so many ideas for fan fiction but anytime I try to sit down and physically write it or try to plan it out I can't concentrate on what I was trying to do.

Hazbin Hotel: an actual plot revolving around the hotel's conflict with the Vees, Adam falling to Hell, and the slowest slow burn of Huskerdust you've ever seen.

Pokemon: story of a trio of research assistants in unova trying to figure out what they actually want to do with their lives. (It's a sona thing, don't ask questions)

911: some Buddie stuff I have a few ideas, some fluff, some angst, some with both. Bi Buck being confirmed has ignited something in me, and I need to write about it.

Critical Role: 5 times Ash watched Orym sacrifice himself for someone else and 1 time Ash sacrificed themself for Orym, there's a few other ideas but that's the main one.

Dungeons and Dragons: mostly just chronicling the adventures my party has gone through.

It's just the absolute worst, because I have ideas but I cant write them because I can't concentrate and it's just the worst.

Anyways rant over time to actually pay attention to the Math lecture I'm supposed to be in.

Intro Post

Hey y'all! I'm Ferro, a student over in Paldea. I specialize in Steel types, but my team isn't all steel types. I started out with a Sprigatito, and have a Clodsire too. I'm also kinda deaf, so I just... shut off my ears sometimes. Feel free to send me asks!

My journey's catalogue by the #travel journal, if you're interested!

My Team:

Purrlet, my Meowscarada. He was my starter, and I love him. Best cat.

El Woowoo, by Clodsire. Best boy, my counter for fire types.

Ratchet, my Corviknight. He's a crotchety bird, with a competetive streak a mile wide.

Scraplet, my Tinkaton. She and Ratchet get on surprisingly well. I think it's like cats that tolerate each other.

Sir Lampton, my really really big Orthworm. He used to be a titan, and is a really fun worm friend.

Torque, my Revavroom. She's the newest addition, and kicks ass!

Lizard, who's apparently a Koraidon. Lizard has no brain cells and loves sandwiches. She's like some roided up Cyclizar and I love her.

My revolving teammates are as follows:

Orannjé, my Metagross. I got him (chosen pronouns) from my cousin in Unova. He's still young, and originally from Hoenn!

Dewdrop, my Empoleon. I got him on the trip to Kitakami, and he got to evolution in like two days, because he ate my entire stash of rare candies. He liked battling in Kitakami, but these days he tends to chill at home with my Mamá and helps her water our crops.

Alloy, a shiny Skarmory that I have gotten as a gift from my cousin as well. She is relatively new, and arrived with Orannjé, but she listens very well.

Hi hello! This blog is run by @kayuripax, and I am essentially chronicling my second scarlet playthrough here. When uni gives me the time, that is

An Introduction from the Bog

Hello! I'm here to post occasional art, reblog lots of things I like, avoid drama like the plague, and jabber about my writing so I don't talk the ears off of the people around me in real life.

I am on AO3 as Maternal_Macrophage. I post my fics there, and they are mostly Kirby and Pokemon fics -- particularly, in the latter case, of the Submas variety. My other obsession is Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles.

I have entirely too many AUs and fics in progress. It may not be many compared to some, but it seems like a lot to me.

Some tags you might want to know are:

egginfroggintalkin -- my jabber posts, where I talk and don't have any art

eggin's writings -- posts involving my fics or original writing

eggin creatin' -- my art and stuff related to it

eggininquisition -- my polls, few though they may be

reset reverse -- for posts about my ongoing Pokemon fic of the same name, Reset, Reverse; it is currently on hiatus and may undergo a hefty amount of reworking in the future

wtst -- abbreviation of my first posted Pokemon fic, and first finished multi-chapter fic, Welcome to Sinnoh's Temple - WtST masterpost

iced tracks -- my Frozen Submas AU, in which Legendaries bestow gifts upon a select few people in their region, and Ingo and Emmet receive powers from the Dragons of Unova

beautiful decline au -- my new, still-in-development, splatters-of-inspiration-on-a-wall, messy Pokemon AU, wherein Hisui is post-apocalyptic Sinnoh and humanity is coming down from an era of inorganic existence and life as nature reclaims the world

I told you so au -- an AU in which the Nimbasa Trio and Iris get eeby-deebied to Hisui; the titular fic is mainly Sabi-centric

mistborn au -- The Horrors, now with 100 percent more vigilantes and impaling (also more Pokemon)

little stray feathers -- the name of my ongoing Kirby fic, Little Stray Feathers, in which a young Meta Knight releases Galacta Knight with a wish for death or safety, and adoption slowly commences

And more, which I will add as they get posted or I start talking about them. These tags will all get posts marked with them when I get around to making said posts.

Spoilers will abound for my fics, as my mouth is large and my impulse control is smol.

Egginfroggin is a very recent moniker for me. Any art I post that was made prior to this account will be signed "Saffy." Just putting that there to prevent confusion.

Please be polite in your interactions here. I am not here for drama. I am here for sillies and talky-talk about fics to unwind, not to get riled up bickering with strangers on the internet. Thank you.

Also, I am awkward! I am a bog-dweller. And I am busy. It may take me a while to respond to any messages or asks, and I apologize for that.

If I somehow managed to rot your brain and you have fanart or something for me, go ahead and post it -- please tag me if you do -- or send it in an ask. I will probably die of joy overload, but it would be a worthy death.

Thank you! May you all have a good, blessed day.

[timebranded]

((As some of you might know, I recently finished a fanfic chronicling Hilbert’s ( @luckynatured​ ) journey through Unova. I’ve been thinking lately...if I wrote a fanfic for Lucas’ journey....who would read it...))

[wanderingpkmn]

Well, I guess this is the start.

Hi, I’m a Pokémon trainer, and I just kind of wander the world. I like ghost-types, but I also have some dark-, psychic-, and fairy-types.

I guess you guys can call me Wandering, lots of other people do. I’m male, about 5′4″... I know I’m underweight, I don’t eat a lot on the road, I don’t know how bad it is, though. I’m initially from this really small town named Postwick in Galar, but since leaving my home region, I don’t really... count it as home anymore.

Right now, I’m in Unova. I’d really like to catch a Litwick or a Gothita while I’m here.

I started this blog to chronicle what I do, but if you have any questions for me, I’d be glad to answer them. I don’t get to talk to a lot of people. It’d be a nice change in pace.

[torment-deviser]

Ariadne Daniil

So, due to the fact that Heroforge is not working for me, therefore I can't waste my time making minis. Let{s introduce my other current OC hyperfixation.... Ariadne!

Age: 18 Gender: Female Pronouns: She/Her/They Sexuality: Bisexual-Demiromantic

As far as everyone knows, she comes from Unova. Had a somewhat severe case of retrogade amnesia a few years ago according to her. And as a resulst, she is somewhat ignorant of things people in the Pokemon World would regard as obvious. Otherwise she seems to have a permanent poker face. And by many is considered emotionless or emotionally cold. However nothing could be further from the truth. She is able to feel emotions like anyone, she just has difficulties expressing them physically for some unknown reason. She is also an excellent hunter. Pokemon Rejuvenation Chapter 15 spoilers under the cut

As those of you who have played the game know, the interceptor's sould comes from a different world. Hence the reason for the 'amnesia', among other things. Ariadne would come from our world earth. However, it is a version of it based on Onyx Path's Chronicles of Darkness TTRPG setting. More specifically she is a character that had she not died would have been considered a changeling in that world. For the uninitiated, changelings are a bit different in Changeling the Lost than in the most common depictions. Changelings are human who were kidnapped by the True Fae to be used as basically set pieces and actors, in the domains of said Fae, in the land of Arcadia. The True Fae in CtL are basically eldritch beings with no concept of empathy or any capability for creativity. Hence why they steal from the Human world to fuel the fantasies they come up with in their Domans. Ariadne was one of such human prisoners, whose body, mind, and soul were twisted to fufill the whims of her Keeper. She was successfull in her escape of Arcadia, though died in the boundary in between their world and ours, called the Hedge during her attempted escape. As such she wouldnt technically be a changeling, since they are escaped humans who returned by crossing the hedge. Nevertheless, some of the way her soul was changed bleeds through during her time in Aevium. Though that is something I'll go into detail at a later date.
