#damien the haunter

[a-gastly-trio]

(Closed starter for @grimsley-official )

Damien leans against the wall of a tall office building, by the Castelia Cone stand, his red eyes scanning the area every now and then for Grimsley. He's not entirely sure why he's doing this or why he feels nervous, but maybe it's because he's breaking a rule in his dimension:

Don't reveal yourself to humans.

He already told the strange human what he looked like and where they would meet. Now, he just has to wait for his friend to arrive.

[a-gastly-trio]

Raven: Uhh that's cool and all, but we're technically already "pokemon".

Damien: And we actually prefer the term "'Mon", Thank you.

All of you need to chill out. I'm turning you into pokemon and hopefully you'll understand friendship or whatever and calm down.

I apologize that this list is quite long

[zero-insignificance]

I had a dream that gave me ideas for new DND characters:

Alfie the Chicken.

He's a sorcerer and always has a small jar of mayonnaise on him that he named Tammy.

Tammy was a powerful elf warlock whose patron saint was The Celestial. She got power hungry and evil and was imprisoned inside a mayonnaise jar by the celestial as punishment. Needless to say she is salty about it.

She's like the one ring but a mayonnaise jar and has corrupted many but was lost in a trash can. During a fight the jar was slingshotted into a young and unsuspecting Alfie's forehead.

They've been inseparable ever since. Together they are menaces to society as Haunter and Hauntee.

A day will come when the jar is broken and Tammy will be free. During her many years trapped in the jar she has heard of the fiend and upon being freed she vows her allegiance to them.

Killian the Rogue

She's a half elf born into a wealthy family. Her parents are high elves in a loveless marriage. She is the product of infidelity but she looks enough like her parents that those outside of the household did not question it. It is unknown as to which parent had the affair.

Her dad is racist, classist, sexist and a goddamn hypocrite.

She was and is a wild child. Her father tried to mold her into a "proper lady" but eventually decided that getting her a suitor would be the best course of action. She hated all of them and one of them was such a cocky bastard that she stabbed him in the hand with a fork.

After this she ran off and became an assassin for hire.

One day someone will hire her to kill her father and she'll be fine with it.

Lu the tiefling bard.

She's asexual and plays the hurdy-gurdy.

And Damien the Tabaxi Edgelord.

He's a sorcerer with the haunted one background. He accidentally picked up an Eldritch tome as a child and was traumatized as hell. He has his reason for being edgy and that reason is everyone needs a coping mechanism.

He keeps to himself most of the time.

[a-gastly-trio]

May I give you some pointers? (You simply MUST look your best for your date afterall)

Always make sure your face is clean, to be sure the makeup stays on better.

Start from the middle of your upper lash line, NOT the corners- lots of people make this mistake. Move outwards towards the outer edge of your lash line.

NOW start applying from the inner corner, using the same motion as above, to meet in the middle

If you want wings (Which would look absolutely FABULOUS on you might I add) just follow the curve of your lower lash line upwards from the outer corner of your eyelid, creating a “wing” that tapers to a point. Then, fill in the wing.

USE SMALL STROKES, don't go big and heavy, take your time and be patient~

And VIOLA, now you look amazing for your date tonight <3

If you need anymore help just message me, doll~!

How in Arceus’ name does one do eyeliner-

[galactic-mermaid]

The creeps come out at night....

There are two versions because I like they look with and without the background. (Also yes this is a redraw form that one doodle page)

Edit: Yes this is a reference to the Livelsy walk meme lol I just forgot what it was called.

[pokemon-ash-aus]

I have to ask this: Would Delia give Ash the pokemon video games until he is ready to be a ACTUAL trainer in the false twins AU? Cause if so then I'm getting this boi Fire red.

A trainer simulator is better than letting him have a pokemon too soon

Ash and indigo are about 7 in this comic XD

[a-gastly-trio]

//Hey, hey! Got a bit of an update on these lads. These are their new character sheets with some updated info on each sib.

//I'm also gonna touch up on their info sheets (link in pinned) soon.

[frostworkxfiction]

Ghost types are cool and are easily one of my favorite types of Pokémon. I tried to dress my trainer like an emo boy or somewhat witchy which is similar to my aesthetic.

My Team's names are:

Ninetails/ Flicker

Houndoom/ Akuma

Umbreon/ Yami

Haunter/ Regan

Misdreavus/ Samara

Meowth/ Damien

I dunno if I have any other fellow Pokemon moots here but I saw this cute trend and wanted to try it out!

Take this quiz to see what gym leader type you'd be!

Make your team!

Do this picrew to visualize you as a gym leader!

I chose 3rd Gen (but the remake so Alpha/Omega) because it was my very first one!

In which there is one last break

First [ARC 1]: In which the human is transformed First [ARC 2]: In which a present is prepared Next: In which the dreams are nightmares Previous: In which there are no anomalies

    “They… are still here.” Ceebee was the first to speak up after Primal Palkia had left, ending the battle without a true winner. “They’re deeper in the cave, like Dialga is.”

    “Should we go right after them, then?” Tsuki questioned, shaking out her fur, sending some dirt scattering. “They are… primal now, right? We… should deal with that as soon as we can.”

    “M-Maybe we should take a break first,” Edgar suggested, slowly creeping back out from the shadows to join the others.

    “I agree with Edgar. We’re in no condition to go right back to fighting them,” Damien responded.

    Tsuki sighed, “that is true, but we should not stay long. We do not want them to be causing more damage now that they’ve fully turned primal.”

    “Of course,” Alex agreed, then after waiting a few moments to see if anyone else would say anything, he darted over to his partner. “Nel! You evolved! That was amazing!” he exclaimed.

    Nelvana gave him a shaky smile, “wow you’re shorter than me now, this is so weird.”

    Alex laughed, “you’ve been taller than me before!” he pointed out.

    “Not like this!” Nelvana replied, “this… is actually really trippy, I… I didn’t realize I was evolving until it happened, I- oomph!”

    She was cut off as a warm bundle of feathers barreled into her. Unlike Alex, who had stopped at a respectable distance to give his partner some space, Keahi had sprinted from across the room to dive in and give her a hug. Once realizing what hit her and who it was, Nelvana reached out to return the hug, picking up the torchic to properly wrap her arms around zim.

    “Nel! I was so worried when you took that hit and didn’t come back right away but then you did come back except we couldn’t say anything to each other because of the battle, but now you’re evolved and-“

    “I love you too, Keahi,” Nelvana hummed, cutting off her partner’s rambles.

    Taking a moment to catch zir breath, Keahi leaned up to bump zir head against Nelvana’s, the two taking this small moment together to relax themselves again.

    “How do you feel?” Keahi asked.

    “I… I’ll need to get back to you on that one, I’m still processing everything,” Nelvana admitted with a weak chuckle. “This is probably the strangest day of my life. And that’s… saying a lot.”

    “Hey, how about everyone sit down over here, a bit further away from all that damage, and we can talk things through?” Damien suggested, gesturing over to an area deeper into the cave.

    Nelvana smiled at him, “yeah, that’s probably for the best,” she agreed, and then looked back down at the torchic in her arms. “You’re so tiny now!”

    Keahi giggled, “you just got really tall! Hey, can I sit on your head? You must have a nice view from up there.”

    Complying to her partner’s request as they walked over with the rest of the group to sit down, Nelvana placed Keahi atop her head, the torchic fitting in the space between her ears perfectly now. Keahi giggled again, letting out some “oohs” and “ahhs” despite there not really being much to look at, even at that height.

    Sitting down in a circle together, everyone took this time to breath for a couple minutes and check how they felt once adrenaline wore off. Keahi hopped off of Nelvana’s head, but only to settle zirself onto her lap instead. Alex and Damien sat down beside each other, emptying out their bags to sort through the remaining supplies. As Alex shook out his bag, there was the clatter of stones tumbling onto the floor; Giratina’s rock, a fire gem, and that stone from Lapis Cave. Damien eyed the blue crystal momentarily, peeking over at the similar one he still carried around in his own back. Alex chuckled at the latter item before scooping it up and stuffing it back in the bag, but his hand hovered over the fire gem.

    “Oh hey, I almost forgot, Keahi, I’ve been hanging onto the fire gem Ceebee gave you for your birthday. Do you want it now?” Alex commented, picking up the small crystal.

    “I guess so!” Keahi decided, “There will probably be a time I’ll want to use flamethrower for the range again. Better at least get one boost out of it.”

    “Can’t think of a scenario you’ll need it more for anyway,” Tsuki added with a yawn, “there isn’t really anyone that will be stronger than Primal Palkia, I figure.”

    “Well, you never know, but I could always get another fire gem for if something like that comes up,” Keahi responded.

    Meanwhile, as Alex handed the fire gem over to Keahi, Damien leaned over to pick up the other stone, brushing off some of the dirt with one thumb as he turned it over a couple times in his hands.

    “Hey, Giratina, we have a moment to be able to talk again,” he said.

    “…the battle’s over?” Giratina’s voice faded in, sounding mildly hesitant.

    “Sort of,” Alex answered, turning his focus back to sorting through the rest of the items.

    “…I see. I can… sense Palkia still from here,” Giratina murmured, “are you all okay? I can sense that you’re all here… Oh, Nelvana! Did you evolve?”

    Nelvana let out a mix of a chuckle and a sigh, “yeah, I did. Happened right at the end of the fight.”

    “Well, congratulations! I can tell that is… difficult to pull off in these current times. We’ll need all the extra strength we can get, know that…” Giratina paused. “I am sensing that correctly, right? Palkia is… primal now.”

    “Unfortunately, yes. We were unable to defeat them before it happened, and they ran off right afterwards,” Ceebee told them.

    “Why did they leave though?” Edgar questioned quietly, “I thought they were still going to fight us, but they just… went further into the cave, like Ceebee said.”

    “Now that they’re primal, their instinct is to stay that way. Survival is now the top priority. They must have felt threatened by you all, and didn’t think they would be able to win the fight in that moment,” Giratina explained, “they also instinctively want to be at the center of their home, like how Dialga always stayed at Temporal Tower, Palkia now hides here.”

    “They felt threatened, huh? We might stand more of a chance than we thought,” Alex commented, grinning slightly.

    “Yes! Please, do not lose hope! I still have the upmost faith that you will be able to defeat them, even if they are primal now. You went into that fight without the chance to recover after a mystery dungeon. Now you have that chance. Recover, and go out to rematch Palkia,” Giratina responded.

    “That’s the plan!” Keahi chirped, “thanks for the encouragement!”

    “No problem. I only wish I could do more to help,” Giratina replied, “if you have anything to ask me, just let me know. In the meantime… I do not wish to disturb your break. I will check to see if there is… anything I can do from here to assist you more. Perhaps with the fabric of space tearing more, I may find an opening to provide more assistance. We’ll see. Best of luck to you either way.”

    With that, Giratina’s presence faded from the rock once more. Letting out a sigh, Damien set the rock back down on the ground, closer towards the middle of the seated circle everyone was forming together before turning back to help Alex with inventory.

    Keahi leaned back while still sitting on Nelvana’s lap, zir back touching her chest and zir head feathers grazing the marowak’s chin. Zie quietly fumbled with the fire gem for a few moments, furrowing zir brows as zie thought of something, and then looked up at zir partner, opening zir beak to speak and break the growing silence in the group.

    “What did it feel like, to evolve?” zie asked her.

    “It…” Nelvana paused, furrowing her brows as she did her best to recall the short moment. “I felt like a had a lot of energy, like when you use an attack, except just all over me.”

    “Did it hurt?” Edgar chimed in.

    Nelvana quickly shook her head, “no, it didn’t hurt. It felt more like… kinda like being stretched? But it didn’t hurt, and I could still feel myself getting stronger. I feel… kind of lightheaded though now, actually.”

    “That’s normal,” Alex reassured her, “here you should probably have something to eat. Your body both burned through a lot of energy, and created new energy for yourself,” he explained, passing the marowak an apple to eat.

    “Is that why you went to sleep right after evolving, despite talking about how energized you felt?” Nelvana asked him as she accepted the food, without thinking.

    “Yeah! That’s pretty… much… Wait.” Alex looked up at Nelvana properly, eyes wide as a smile grew on his face. “I forgot you don’t have amnesia anymore,” he whispered to himself.

    “I… Yeah, I don’t,” Nelvana murmured back, taking a bite out of the apple to give herself an excuse not to say anything else at the moment.

    Alex paused, his smile fading, “do you not want to talk about that right now? We don’t have to if you don’t want to.”

    “I just… I do but I don’t,” Nelvana sighed, “let’s just… not for now, and I’ll bring it up later when I’m ready, okay? Maybe when I’m done eating this apple.”

    He nodded back, “got it.”

    “Evolution is still a safe topic, let’s stick with that. Hey, Damien, how did you evolve?” Nelvana said, shifting the subject back to what they had been talking about before.

    “Oh, uh… nothing special, really,” Damien mumbled, “I didn’t like… being a gastly, so I did everything I could to evolve into a haunter. Then I evolved right away into a Gengar, since I got a link cable in advance as a gastly,” he explained, “makes me feel the most like myself to actually have arms and legs.”

    “Hey, speaking of having hands, maybe I’ll be able to evolve after this! Or during our next fight with Palkia!” Keahi chirped, “that would be cool! Do you think I’d be taller, or shorter than you, Nel?”

    “Well, I was taller than you even as a cubone, so I’m going to guess that you’ll still be shorter than me when you’re a combusken,” Nelvana answered, “Alex is a bit taller than most of the combuskens at your home, and I’ll taller than him right now too,” she added.

    “Excuse me, apologies for interrupting…” Tsuki spoke up, “do we still have some water packed? I’m quite thirsty,” she requested, looking over at the pair with the two bags.

    “Oh, yeah! That’s one thing we really aren’t low on,” Damien responded, “here, everyone should probably have some water while we’re taking a break, actually. Stay hydrated and all that jazz.”

    Pausing from their previous conversation, they passed out some water bottles to everyone to drink. Fortunately, between restocking back at the guild, and being restored to an earlier state from Dialga before, not much water had been used, like Damien said, so they were able to drink as much as they wanted now. And though they had less food readily available than water, after Dusknoir pointed out that they likely wouldn’t have another break like this until everything was over, they decided to lighten the bags a bit and dish out the remainder of the food to everyone to fill themselves up before what would, hopefully, be the final confrontation.

    “…hey, Alex? Do you think you would have been shorter or taller than me, when you were a treecko compared to when I was a cubone?” Nelvana suddenly asked after the lull of conversation during everyone eating.

    Alex blinked over at her, “oh… I dunno! It feels like ages ago since I was a treecko… I came up to about your knee then, but we can’t exactly use that to compare now.”

    “What did Alex look like as a treecko?” Keahi blurted out, then stiffening slightly and looking up at zir partner to make sure it was okay to ask that now, still uncertain if Nelvana was ready to talk about what she remembered now that she didn’t have amnesia.

    Despite Keahi’s worries, Nelvana smiled back to zim. Truthfully, she still felt uncertain treading this conversation territory, but she knew now that she would need to address it sooner rather than later. She was just thankful that for now they could stick to some easier topics relating to that.

    “He was this tiny boy, with big eyes,” Nelvana began, her voice squeaking as her tone turned to teasing her partner. “You see how sharp he is now? He was rounder before, rounder shapes. He had a rounder face, round little hands, and-“

    “No, stop!” Alex howled, though he couldn’t stop himself from laughing either. “My image is being ruined! Betrayed by my own sister!”

    Keahi laughed, “you’re reminding me of my mom when she gets an excuse to talk about what her kids were like when they were young!”

    “Isn’t that why you asked?” Nelvana responded, sporting a wide grin on her face. “I did my best to tease him as much as I could, did I do well?”

    “…” Keahi grinned back, “yeah.”

    Alex let out a mock gasp, “I knew it from the start, you’re both conspiring against me.”

    “Aww, now I wish I got to see you as a treecko!” Ceebee chimed in, leaning forward and placing her chin into the palms of her hands. “I bet you were adorable.”

    “Alright, alright, the joke has worn out its welcome now…” Alex announced, raising his hands up slightly in front of himself.

    “Fine.” Keahi stuck her tongue out at him playfully, but seemed otherwise willing to drop the subject. “What about you, Nel? What did you look like as a human?”

    “Oh! Well, I… hm, I’m not sure how to describe that, since most of you know what the average human looks like,” Nelvana responded, starting out ready to answer the question before trailing off towards the end, furrowing her brows.

    “You’ve tried drawing yourself before!” Keahi offered, “I have a vague idea ‘cause of that.”

    “Think kind of like… a sawk for the build, except without the blue skin and robes of course, they have hair on their heads…” Alex described.

    “That’s a terrible description,” Nelvana snorted.

    “Bet you can’t do any better.”

    “Too bad we can’t draw that here. The ground is too firm, Nel couldn’t even use her club for that,” Damien commented.

    “I’m not sure how well I can use my club to draw anymore anyway,” Nelvana replied, picking up her club which she had set down by her side to hold it out in front of her to examine more with a small frown.

    “I think we all have a vague idea, with Nel’s old drawings and Alex’s description,” Tsuki said, “if you wish to still go on with your own description of yourself; I’m sure we’ll figure it out.”

    “If not, we can wait!” Edgar added, “I’m sure stuff like this will be easier to draw when we get home anyway!”

    “Ah, alright, well let’s see… I still had blue eyes then, and my hair, which was brown, a bit darker than my fur here, was cut pretty short. Some humans grow their hair out longer, but not that often, at least in the dead timeline; it got tangled in everything,” Nelvana told them, “I had pretty light colored skin, kinda light peachy color… And I was pretty tall.”

    “And by ‘pretty tall’, she means nearly six feet tall!” Ceebee exclaimed, “Alex would sit on her shoulder when we were just casually walking around.”

    “Wait no, before anyone comments about how tall that is, how tall were you exactly?” Damien demanded, jolting up from where he was still sitting.

    “Oh, uh…” Nelvana’s face scrunched up as she thought. “Jeez, I dunno. Not like I got many chances to measure myself.”

    “I’d put your human height around five feet ten inches,” Ceebee decided, “I think you were done growing before we went back in time too, so that should be fairly accurate.”

    “Dammit!” Damien snapped, tossing his hands into the air. “I would have been shorter than you.”

    Nelvana laughed, “how tall were you?”

    “I wanna say five feet six inches,” Damien sighed, “I might have had another growth spurt in me, since I can’t tell off the top of my head if that was my height when I was thirteen or when I was fully grown.”

    “You could ask Gardevoir when we get back,” Tsuki suggested, “she might remember.”

    “Maybe… Don’t wanna get my hopes up though,” Damien murmured, turning back to focus on the remainder of his work with Alex.

    “How are you two doing over there, anyway?” Keahi asked, turning over to the bag holding duo. “What’s our inventory looking like?”

    “Are you ready for us to return our water bottles as well?” Tsuki chimed in, one paw curled around the now empty bottle she had drunken from.

    “Oh, yeah, go ahead and pass them over, they won’t be in the way,” Alex responded, waving towards the others to encourage them to give back the items.

    Taking a quick moment before addressing Keahi’s questions, everyone tossed, rolled, or passed over their water bottles; of which nearly all were now emptied. Edgar was one who passed his over, and as he passed by the center of the circle, he floated down to pick up Giratina’s rock as well, sensing them nearing the end of their break, and likely not needing to speak to Giratina if they weren’t going to in this moment. Passing both items over to the grovyle, Edgar silently floated back over to where he had been laying down before beside Tsuki.

    “Alright, so we’re looking at a slight oran shortage… We still have enough reviver seeds because of how many we got in the guild, those should last just fine. And then all other berries and seeds we have not really used at all, we haven’t suffered from any status effects in these fights,” Alex told everyone, waving a hand over the items laying out on the ground. “We’ll split all the items between us, any odd number extras going to Damien. I’ll hang onto Giratina again… and I think that’s it?”

    “That’s the important details, yeah,” Damien agreed, nodding.

    “So… does that mean we will be going after Palkia next?” Tsuki asked, sitting up and looking over the rest of the group.

    “Well, we still need to put this back away but otherwise…” Alex answered, trailing off as he too looked up at everyone else. “…if everyone is ready now, I don’t see any reason we should sit back any longer.”

    “If everyone is ready,” Damien repeated.

    Keahi nodded, “yeah! I think I’m okay to go to the fight, as ready as I’ll ever be at least, but if anyone isn’t, don’t be afraid to speak up! We can wait a few more minutes to make sure that everyone will be prepared and comfortable enough to head back out,” zie hummed.

    There were some nods and quiet responses of confirmation and agreement before the conversation faded out only having the sounds of Alex and Damien picking up various items and organizing them in the bags to break any silence. Edgar bobbed up and down in place for a couple moments before going to offer to help the pair, and when told “thanks, but we can handle it,” he settled for hovering over them to watch instead. Every so often Alex would relay a packing tip to Damien, but the rest of the group didn’t say much in these last moments.

    Or, at least it seemed it would be that way. Nelvana sat in the silence, her mind running in circles as she stewed with a choice. This would be a chance to address something, but it was challenging to form the words in her mouth and then actually have them spoken aloud. She reached for her club again, which she had set down not long earlier to toss Alex her and Keahi’s water bottles before. Rubbing over the now nearly smooth bone with a thumb as she thought, which soon just turned to her gripping the item tightly. Keahi, still sitting in her lap, frowned as zie watched this, zir feather’s ruffled as Nelvana hunched over zim.

    “Are you alright?” Keahi whispered, placing a wing on zir partner’s arm.

    “I…” Nelvana swallowed her breath. “No, there’s… something I need to talk about,” she said, her voice growing louder and clearer as she sat up again, drawing attention back to her.

    “What is it?” Ceebee asked earnestly.

    Nelvana paused for a couple moments, rolling the words over in her mouth one last time.

    “When Palkia… broke that part of the curse, I didn’t just remember my past before getting amnesia,” Nelvana began, rolling the club over in her hands now, staring at it to focus on what she was saying instead of on the others around her. “I remember what happened after we were erased from time, too.”

    Alex glanced up from his work, a mix of emotion flickering in his eyes, “are you saying that as a good thing, or a bad thing…?” he questioned.

    “I don’t know. Maybe both,” Nelvana answered, “what… happened in general wasn’t that bad. We were in… some part of the spirit realm, obviously not one I’ve been in before. We met up, and found that everyone else from our time was there too. In some sort of, uh, limbo, I guess,” she explained.

    “Like a lobby?” Damien asked, biting his lip as he hoped his input would be more helpful than not.

    “Sure,” Nelvana responded, “and we decided to wander a bit while we waited for Gardevoir or someone helping Gardevoir to come find us. You know, say some final goodbyes to old friends and whatnot while we had the chance.”

    “Did you have your memories back when you were in that moment?” Tsuki asked.

    “No, but it was the thought that counted. Alex and Ceebee would remember, and could fill me in about who it was we were about to talk to,” Nelvana answered.

    “You did mention before that you were good at recognizing familiar people, even with amnesia,” Alex added.

    “Yeah, that too.” Nelvana paused. “We… We didn’t find my family there, though.”

    As she went to look up, to stop staring just at her own weapon, she saw Dusknoir tense from across her. Whether he had pieced together that she knew what happened to her family or not, it was evident by this strangely obvious display from him that he knew what happened. Out of the corner of Nelvana’s eye, she saw the light from Edgar’s eye darken, though she didn’t think much of it; if he knew, it wouldn’t surprise her that much, and she wouldn’t blame him for not telling her before.

    “Dusknoir, why did you kill my family?”

    Her question, though her voice was quiet, spoke louder than any yell in this moment, the intensity of such a question paired with the already generally silent room made these words pierce true and clear.

    Dusknoir tensed more, eye widening at the question being so suddenly and bluntly stated to him, nailing him onto the spot like a wooden plank onto the flooring of a house. Instantly Nelvana’s words, drew everyone to stare at Dusknoir as well, waiting impatiently for his answer. Despite this, he appeared far too stunned to say anything right away, so Nelvana went on.

    “We didn’t find my family there, but we found you. You told me that you killed them, trying to use that fact as a leverage against me.” It was becoming a struggle to keep her own words steady by this point, but she pushed on. “So, now I ask, why? Just because they’re related to me? They didn’t do anything against you, or your cause!”

    The long, tense seconds drew on without any response from Dusknoir. Nelvana was gripping her club so tightly now that her hands shook, but she kept her gaze trained on the ghost-type, waiting for him to say something, anything.

    “I…”

    Dusknoir almost seemed to choke as he tried to speak, his body shuddering. He turned to look away, breaking any previous eye contact with Nelvana to face the ground instead, eye closed tightly. He shook again, and then blinked his eye open suddenly as, to everyone’s surprise, inky black tears dripped out of his eye, slowly trailing down his face. Reaching up a hand, he gingerly touched one of the tears, leaving a dark, wet mark on his finger.

    “I can cry…?” he whispered, the astonishment clear in his voice.

    He paused for a couple more moments, staring at his hand with a wide eye as he cried for the first time; at least, the first time in an incredibly long time. Suddenly though, his gaze narrowed, and he closed his hand into a fist, lifting it up to wipe away the rest of the tears with the back of his hand. Dusknoir rose to his full height, looking back down at Nelvana, who still stared back up at him.

    “No, that… isn’t right of me. This is not my loss, my grief, my right to cry, it is yours,” Dusknoir said, “Nelvana, I killed your family for no reason at all. I grew desperate and frustrated after Cee- Celebi escaped my clutches, and I sought for any way to get back at you all. That is no excuse though. How I felt was no excuse for any such actions. What I did was an absolutely horrible thing, and I am deeply sorry that I did that. You are right, they did nothing to earn such a punishment, to rob them of… the choice of where to go, whatever choice there is, after being erased from time.”

    Nelvana blinked, though did her best to hide her surprise at such a response as she narrowed her eyes back at him again. Again, he seemed in every way to being honest, and yet she couldn’t help but have her doubts.

    “Really? You’re really sorry?” she questioned, unable to keep the bite back from her voice.

    He nodded, “yes, I am. And it is alright if you do not believe me. At the end of the day… I did terrible things to you, to all… to all of you. I wanted to save myself so badly that I harmed so many lives, and there is truly nothing I can do to make up for that. But I would still like to try. I have seen now why you fought so hard to bring this timeline back to life, why you still fight now, even at the risk of your own lives. This is a time worth fighting for, and really… I don’t deserve to be a part of it. So, I truly wish to do whatever I can to make up for the harm I did in the other timeline, and make it so I do deserve to be here,” he told them, “so, yes, I am really sorry. And not just to you, Nelvana, but to Grovyle and Celebi as well. I am sorry. You have every right to hate me, but if there is anything I can do to help more, I will do my best to complete it.”

    Dusknoir bowed his head slightly to them, silently signifying that he was done with what he had to say. He remained standing up, though he bobbed in place for a moment as if considering sitting back down again. There still seemed to be some tears welled up in his eye, but they didn’t drip out again.

    Silence returned as it was now the others’ turn to figure out how to respond. Ceebee had her arms crossed over her chest, mouth closed in a pencil thin line as she fluttered in place in the air. Alex’s lips curled back into a snarl, crouched close to a more quadruped stance as he still sharply glared at Dusknoir. Nelvana still gripped her club tightly, finding herself staring back down at it again as she mulled this over. Eventually, she let out a sigh, releasing her grip on the bone slightly and sitting back up straight again.

    “You are right about one thing; I don’t think I can forgive you. And I think I safely speak for Alex and Ceebee when I say that they cannot either,” Nelvana began, “however… I am going to have to give you the benefit of the doubt, and hope that you are telling the truth about how you feel now. Frankly… I’m still processing everything that I was forced to remember all of a sudden. But that doesn’t change the fact that I don’t think it would do any of us any good for me to hate you over something that cannot be changed. I don’t know how much I can trust you, but at least for now, we still need to cooperate. And it would probably hurt me more than help to be thinking about this endlessly and hating you at every moment. So, no, I do not forgive you for what you’ve done. But I’m willing to see what you can do to become better,” she told him.

    Dusknoir visibly relaxed, as if weights had been removed from his shoulders, “thank you.”

    Ceebee bit her lip, and then exhaled, turning to face Dusknoir, “I’ll think about it,” she said, “for now… you’re still just a temporary ally to me, and an enemy at the end of the day. I’ll want to really see change before I can believe in what you’re saying.”

    Dusknoir nodded to this, accepting such an answer without any complaints.

    Eyes turned to Alex next, who still didn’t seem to show any signs of giving his own answer yet. In fact, as he felt the stares on him, he sharply turned away from the group, from Dusknoir, and staring back down at the bags and the remaining unpacked items. Letting out a sharp hiss through his teeth, he grabbed the remaining items and shoved them back into his bag, slinging the satchel over his shoulder, all without turning to look at anyone else again.

    Time continued to drag on, until it became undeniably clear that Alex wasn’t going to give any sort of answer at all, which turned out to be the loudest answer of all. Nelvana’s gaze softened as she stared at the back of her brooding partner. She wasn’t sure where to go from here. It was important for her to speak and leave things dealt with for now, but what difference would it make for him if he were forced to speak up? He needed more time, she figured, and he gave her time to think before, so she was going to make sure to give him the same curtesy.

    “Is everything packed then, Alex and Damien?” Nelvana asked, abruptly changing subjects.

    Slowly, Alex turned to look back at his partner, his hardened expression fading into something more relieved at being released from having to respond to the previous conversation. Still, it was Damien who answered her first.

    “I think so. We should be all packed and ready for the fight now,” he answered.

    Alex nodded slowly, “yeah… So, if everyone is ready, we should go now.”

    “I’m ready now,” Nelvana replied, knowing that it was her that hadn’t been ready before, and thus now confirming that she was would be helpful.

    And, despite everything, everyone else was ready too. At least, as ready as they would be.

    Everyone standing up, Ceebee directed them onwards to Palkia, even though there were no diverging paths to possibly get someone lost. There was only one way forward, and they headed out.

WTDW Pokémon Au

I was bored so I decided to write a concept of a WTDW with one of my other hyperfixations aka Pokémon. Because I’m the person who has to put my hyperfixations into the World of Pokémon!

So here’s what I have so far with the Au (these might change at some point, but I figured I’ll share what I have so far!)

I also don't have a story yet, just some random ideas at this point.

Unlike most of my Pokémon AU’s each of the human characters would have a Monotype team.

So far, Wiatt, Eric, Alyssa, Mike, Damien, and Oliver have confirmed types! Also the humans posing animatronics has a Pokémon named after their possessed animatronic

Eric is a Bug-Type trainer since he likes bugs.

Alyssa is Water-Type and has a Horsea named Glory.

Mike is a Dragon-type trainer and has a Dragon-mon (who I haven’t decided yet) named Rex

Oliver is Electric type because he has a tv head and his starter is a Rotom

Wiatt is a steal-type because he always steals Lewis’s heart. JK!! No Wiatt is a mechanic and likes old fashion. I do debate that he has a Megearna belonging to his grandparents that he hasn’t released from their Pokeball yet. His starter is unknown at this point. Probably he's the odd one out and has a traditional starter or he has Meltan

Damien is a ghost-type trainer since he has a ghost-eye

Liz and Ben both are ghost-type trainers with a Mimikyu. One of them has a shiny!

So far, Carly, Sara, Lewis, Norman, and any other WTDW don't have types confirmed yet.
