Hey, Jericho. There's a question I wanted to ask you, have you met the ultimate life form named Shadow The Hedgehog?

They can relate lol

[scribz-ag24]

Drawing Future Trio as Team Dark because I need to put my favourite characters in my favourite things and the coincidences between Grovyle and Shadow were too funny to let slide.

The Sonic Heroes introduction for Team Dark suited them too well in a AU where Celebi gets to DO things.

DPxDC Pokémon Teams (click for clarity)

I looked at the poll, and while most people wanted spoilers, a lot of people also wanted only a little spoilers, so instead of the original 8 I was going to reveal, I revealed 4 Pokémon teams :D this will be the team’s final evolved forms, not the form they’re introduced in btw (Example: Chansey eventually evolves into a Blissey but in a future installment)

I also have a challenge for you guys! You’re not required to participate, but those who do can get a drawing from me of their fav Pokémon and DP/DC character (I will make it DPxDC if it’s only a DC character, but y’know.)

So the challenge is to answer 3 questions correctly. You can find the form to answer the questions here. Hints are in the cut below in this post :3 Have fun and good luck!

I got way too excited and just drew everything with my fingers…. The pain…. Especially bc I got my pen back today…

EXTREMELY LONG NOTES ON POKÉMON TEAMS I’M BEING FR:

+ Danny’s team consists of (Hisuian) Zorua, Dartrix, Gengar, and Froslass. Zorua and Gengar were caught by himself, while Dartrix was given to him as a Rowlet by a friend and Froslass was given to him by Frostbite :3

+ Jazz’s team consists of Sylveon, Blissey, and Aegislash. She got an Eevee from the Pokémon center as a starter and harassed the people there until they gave her an egg too. It opened into a Happiny, which she then evolved herself. She also caught a Honedge herself and it later evolved twice. The Marshadow occasionally follows her, but is never officially caught by her (and never will, prob. It's a reference to Shadow that I will explain later). She technically only has 3 Pokémon.

+ Dani's team consists of Mimikyu, Arcanine, and Gyarados. She found each of them while homeless and traveling. Mimikyu and Magikarp were picked up by her bc she pitied them, while Arcanine came as is, since it was a failed police dog and then abandoned. Magikarp eventually evolved.

+ Jason's team consists of Absol, Ceruledge, Volcarona, Drakloak (and a Dreepy), and Annihilape. All Pokémon but Absol were found during his training at the League of Assassins, or afterwards when he came to Gotham. Absol is the only Pokémon he has left from his childhood.

+ Danny's team was basically left unchanged for a while lmaooo. The only thing I did was add Rowlet, which is a reference to Spooky the owl.

+ Jazz is the same, I only added Honedge after a little more planning. At first, she was also supposed to have a Steelix (which would make her Pokémon team have 4) but I disliked how it looked in the drawing and it lowkey didn’t fit the vibes. In the end, I changed my mind again after using a choice picking wheel 💀 Honedge stayed due to storyline reasons.

+ Dani's did not change at all XD I was very satisfied with my choices for her.

+ Jason's team changed a LOT. Some stayed the entire time (like Ceruledge and Absol), but others were switched around a lot. At some point, he even had a Goodra, but I changed my mind several times. I've mentioned this before, but the DC teams were the hardest for me to make. The DP teams were relatively easy in comparison.

+ Danny's team is all ghost Pokémon, or will become ghost Pokémon. The reason why I chose Gengar and not any other Pokémon is bc Gengar is the first and only ghost Pokémon to be introduced in Gen I. The other three are there for thematic and story based reasons.

+ Jazz's team was originally all normal types until Sylveon evolved and she got a Honedge. She's weirdly and somewhat unintentionally powerful when you compare her to everyone else bc of the amount of dark and dragon type Pokémon I gave everyone. (Pseudo-legendaries, I both love you and curse you!) I do love how cutesy her team is. It's fun when you realize that she's also pretty well-balanced (that's on purpose :))

+ Dani's team was chosen solely on vibes and storylines. Also, I love the idea of a small girl having a cute Pokémon, a cool Pokémon, and a fucking behemoth of a sea serpent as a Pokémon.

+ The DC teams are all chosen with a specific pattern and as such, Jason's team reflects that. I switched it up several times but I'm satisfied now. I think the combination of both powerful but also thematically suitable Pokémon is really nice. He's got a pseudo-legendary and a semi-pseudo-legendary and I enjoy how his team is made of fire, ghost, and dark types. Quite spooky.

+ I want to write about Jason and Absol sooooo bad, but I'm trying my best to go in order slowly and work with what I got until I get bored again.

+ The Pokémon listed in each box are ordered from most used/seen to least used/let out of their Pokeball. Example: Jason lets Absol out or uses him the most, but Annihilape is usually kept inside of his Pokeball.

+ The Misdreavus pin that Jazz, Danny, and Dani all share is a logo for them being part of Team Phantom lmao. Misdreavus is the first fully ghost Pokémon to be introduced, hence why I chose it :3

+ Honedge was added to Jazz’s team to replace the usage of Marshadow (I planned her team for a while but never got to changing it until this year tbh), as well as to make up for weaknesses. What’s interesting about her team is that she counteracts a lot of her family’s and friends’ Pokémon teams due to her being a mix of fairy, normal, and ghost types with a bit of dark.

+ When I first discovered Marshadow, I was jumping for joy bc I was hoping to find a Pokémon that could replicate Shadow, an OC that I created to be Jazz's friend and helper. Marshadow was literally perfect for this! Associated with shadows, cute, and most importantly, able to copy others! But then my entire world came crashing down when I found out it was a Mythical Pokémon (which is accurate tbh but.... ☹️) I lowkey dislike it when characters are OP without explanations and I LOVE Jazz, which is why I glaze her so much, but a Mythical Pokémon would've just pissed me off bc no one else has one. So that's why it's there, but I don't consider it an official part of her team. It will help her on the occasion tho!

+ Within these teams, only 4 Pokémon will be evolving within the story: Rowlet -> Dartrix, Chansey -> Blissey, Honedge -> Doublade -> Aegislash, and Magikarp -> Gyarados. Jason's team came as is.

+ If you've seen how I color the characters a lot, you may be wondering why both Dani and Danny are blue instead of the usual green. That's bc I was imagining that when they went ghost, the blue would switch to green and black to white and vice versa. So in reality, the colors are actually the “opposite”.

+ You might not know this, but Dani is the only one with a water type Pokémon on her team in the DP world and it's freaking hilarious when you realize that almost everyone else is weak to fire in varying degrees. Cue shenanigans as everyone in the DP world chases her down for her Magikarp.

+ These Pokémon teams are still subject to a bit of change. As long as I don’t write it down in an AO3 fic, it’s free real estate for me to continue editing 💀

Hint for the questions! 1) It’s a single digit number, so less than 10, 2) It’s a specific girl group of 4-5 members, but very unconventional. Another hint bc it’s a little difficult, think of video games combined with music. 3) Look at Danny’s pants, specifically the shape lmaooo. Another hint, they performed at a very big event recently…. >:)

Okay, so we know how Darkrai would react to meeting the future him, Ark.

But what about Twig meeting future Twig? The one who is married to THIS guy and (depending on how far we go) had two kids with him!?!?

(You can see Ark give his past self advice here!)

While Ark gave his past self a lot more cautionary advice, Twig would want to encourage her past self. It... wouldn't be very effective.

[trainerlynda]

//Ask game!

//Send a 🔍 (or Magnifying glass) to someone's ask box for a completely random fact about their character!

//You can specify what about the character (For example 🔍 A fact about their pokemon!) but that's it! Still random what they tell you!

//I thought of this last night so =3 have fun!~

what would an hypothetical child of ghetsis and melony look like

Behold !!! The hypothetical unholy offspring of Ghetsis and Melony !!!

If Ghetsis and Mel ever had a child, that would 100% be an accident. None of them wants that. When the doctor says "Seems like a pregnancy, congratulations !" The both of them are crying in horror.

-> Nach would have had to be conceived after Mel's recovery from Kyurem's attack

-> Of course after suffering for 9 months Melony is going to get attached to that baby. He isn't going to endure 9 months of pain just to neglect the kid afterwards, that wouldn't be productive

-> Ghetsis is still very much broken from the ending of BW2 and struggles a lot to care for himself, let alone a kid. Because of his serious mental health issues, he is a very mellowed out, passive version of his usual self. He doesn't burst out in anger anymore and just sulks around, sits by the window or sleeps. He doesn't speak much to anyone outside of Mel. He still has a very acid tongue though. Having no goals, and nothing to do of his days, he ends up caring for the kid out of both boredom and obligation. He isn't really gentle nor sweet, he is still extremely closed off emotionally, but he gets the job done.

-> Ghetsis "cares" for Nach mainly because Nach bears his genetics. He considers Nach to be an extension of himself, and therefore he does care if Nach ends up being hurt. Also Ghetsis suspects that Mel will kill him if he hurts Nach

-> Because Ghetsis has no objectives anymore, making his life essentially meaningless, he is told to get a new, reachable goal in order to get some sense back in his life. And so his main objective becomes to care for Nach. He is very awkward and clumsy when it comes to bonding emotionally. He usually just listens to Nach. He tries to bond by hugging him and gifting him things relating to his interests.

-> Melony loves Nach. He calls him "the Eldritch Horror" as a cute nickname. Melony is the main caretaker for Nach, to no one's surprise

-> The Triad likes Nach ! They care for him a lot and enjoy playing with him. They have a very sibling-like relationship with him.

-> Nach himself is... Suprisingly nice ? He has a big ego, can be very entitled and is very prideful (Ghetsis' curse), but is otherwise pretty caring and well-meaning. No one really knows how he ended up being overall good with such terrible people as his parents.

-> Nach has a good relationship with Mel. Mel would be overall very affectionate to his kid, to the point where he might actually spoil him too much.

-> Nach likes Ghetsis. He finds him comforting to be around, as Ghetsis doesn't speak much, but does show affection by hugging him or holding him.

-> I think Nach would call Ghetsis "father" and Melony "dad"

-> Despite his own childhood, I think N would be happy both for Ghetsis and Nach. He sees his father improving, and Nach being somewhat loved. N loves too much to be seething over not being as lucky as Nach.

-> I don't think Anthea and Concordia where as close to Ghetsis as N was, but they do wonder why Nach as the right to have careless and innocent childhood when they couldn't.

-> If N and Ghetsis are indeed distant cousins (which they are in my personal works!), I think it would be funny af if Nach inherited the original Unovan King's ability to understand pokémons. Like it just missed Ghetsis. Sorry old man

Happy Halloween, everyone! I’ve, uh, kinda… been playing Sonic x Shadow Generations haha. But I am slowly getting through all the fusion requests. Might take me a bit though, thank you for your patience. Have Inari and Matcha in their Halloween costumes as a reward!

I was also planning on including Erza Scarlet and Freed Justine from Fairy Tail, Wes from Pokémon Colosseum, and Connor from Detroit Become Human, but I ran out of room, so maybe next time! Also please ignore what I’m sure is a plethora of wonky proportions. I did this in a real life sketchbook (and then moved around the drawings a bit in Clip), so I never flipped my canvas, and now I never will because I’m scared.

Meanwhile, deep in the Distortion Realm, a disturbance ripples the crystalline world of Gaia...

It seems that letters can be sent to the Giratinas that populate the Realm, while The Obsidian One is... busy.

Will you drop a letter through?

>Yes

>No

ITS OCTOBER, THINK FAST

Can we see a picture of your cat? 🥺

Sure! Her name is shadow because i wasnt a very creative ten year old.

[williceunleashed]

You mentionned before that during his time in Neo Plasma Melony took advantage of weaker members, but how did he interact with other higher ranking members, like Colress, Zinzolin and the Shadow Triad ?

Here you go !!! A few of Mel's relationships with the Plasma people.

-> He is friends with Colress ! Melony is always willing to help Colress and test his new creations. He also likes that Colress is straight-forward and has a sharp tongue. Colress finds Melony to be a rather efficient assistant, despite being way too talkative and having too many privileges for a mere grunt. They also joke around and bond over bullying Ghetsis. Their friendship is pretty genuine. They split at the end of BW2 because Mel will always choose Ghetsis over anyone else, but Melony still misses their friendship and wishes it hadn't ended.

-> Melony is pretty friendly with the Shadow Triad. I imagine that the Triad is very dehumanized within Plasma, at a level that is close to the grunts' dehumanization, and that usually no one talks to them outside of barking orders. So when Melony greets them and rambles about rattata fun facts, the Triad is pretty surprised, but doesn't dislike the interaction (I have so much stuff to say about the Shadow Triad and the way they are treated more like objects than people but I'll stop here ahah)

-> Melony and Zinzolin have a... complicated relationship. They aren't exactly friends, but they tolerate each other. Zinzolin has A LOT of opinions about Melony which he is happy to share with anyone who will listen. Zinzolin dislikes that Melony is able to talk people into doing his biddings, and he hates that Ghetsis offers him so much leeway. Melony, on the other hand, thinks Zinzolin is funny as hell and enjoys annoying him, because Melony is a bully.

(Mel gets a lot of preferencial treatments thanks to his relationship to Ghetsis (He was already pretty close to him in BW1 for a mere grunt), so his mistakes aren't punished as harshly as they should be. Also, Ghetsis finds Melony to be very entertaining, so he allows him to be a gremlin around the base with little to no consequences (gotta enable his boyfriend's worst behaviors))
