he'd been locked in that closet for about a hour now, just waiting for someone to come by and let him out. and just when he thought somebody was finally there to recue him, the door had shut, leaving them both now locked in. "you're going to hurt yourself." taewan warned, his tone lacking any sort of concern even though he truly was worried of the other injuring themself. he watched as they continued to hurl their body at the jammed door for a few more moments before standing up. "seriously, we're trapped. might as well conserve your energy until somebody notices we're missing."

plot: how our muses know each other is completely utp, the general jist is that she isn’t expecting anyone (so if they live together y/m could’ve come back early?). is y/m recruiting her for an assignment? or dragging her out for a late night ship repair? let’s run with it!

Juune practically stumbled into her apartment, the door closing shut with a resounding swoosh behind her. She tossed her bag off to the side, kicking off her boots as she moved further into the dark apartment . . . only briefly pausing when she heard an unfamiliar noise. A light flicked on, and Juune flippantly swung her head towards the unexpected presence. “Unless you have something strong in a bottle, I’m not interested.”

[scribz-ag24]

I've recently seen again a post talking about the Sableye and Dusknoir's relationship so i'd like to put my two cents in the discussion, for I love screaming into the void about PMD. (this isnt meant to discourage any other interpretations btw this is just my take on theirs and Dusknoir's relationship, bc I think they're very fun characters and I am very glad the game actually gives these minions a bit of relevance in se5).

Tbh I don't buy that Dusknoir treats the Sableye nicely, at least not out of kindness. I don't think he's a tyrant or inexplicably mean, of course, and I think his minions ADORE him, but i also believe that doesn't mean he's nice to them, sth that i consider meaningful for their character arcs.

Throughout the entire game he's exclusively giving them orders, in se5 he concocts a plan that involves thrashing them MULTIPLE times (he's lucky Grovyle isn't one to try and kill enemies in battle ig), and the cherry on top is that the first time we see him being fully genuine he does this:

(yes, he is in turmoil in here, but there's not a single thing implying that 1. this is an unusual response towards the sablye, 2. dusknoir feels bad for it at some point or is surprised at himself, 3. this has any impact in the sableye at all. You can argue these reactions happen off screen and we don't see them, they don't happen bc they have pressing matters to attend to or they happen after they return to life, and that's perfectly valid, but i'm sticking with what the game shows us, here.)

I must say, though, the fact that the Sableye, despite having been almost mindless pokémon up to now, STAND UP TO AND ATTACK Primal Dialga for their boss and even try to look after him despite him ordering them to check on Grovyle and Celebi first is SO important to me. they are goons to the bone and they love that scheming ghost so much.

My own view is that Dusknoir is generally polite to them (you wouldn't randomly break your own revolver or weapon without any reason, would you?), but is quicker to get mean with them than with people he doesn't know or he is seeking to manipulate. He doesn't care about their behaviour as long as they get the job done, which is why I think the anime thing of the Sableye climbing onto his shoulder isn't that remarkable, rather it's a very cute moment, one that is showing how they've been working together for long and how their size difference affects their interactions, but it is not necessarily conveying an affectionate bond (this is a bit random, but it reminds me of Disney's Jafar with Iago lmao. throw your pet sableye at your enemies so they mock them and then return to your shoulder). Additionally, Dusknoir letting the Sableye onto his shoulder is probably as close as we are gonna get to a villain turning around in his chair while petting a cat in PMD lol.

[this isn't meant to be a one-to-one comparison, it's just a detail i find cute and shows that this gesture can have multiple interpretations, with none being the only right one]

Leaving that aside, I hesitate to claim Dusknoir trusts his Sableye as allies, as Grovyle makes a point in the main story of how the Sableye (your Sableye, he says, as if objectifying them; not friends, but tools, weapons at Dusknoir's disposal) are lacking compared to the way hero/partner/grovyle support one another (power of friendship and hidden information babyyyy). The Sableye are used to Dusknoir's way of doing things, though, I'm sure. They know what happens when he's displeased, after all.

I think, most of all, the Sableye are meant to look disposable: they are 6 identical pokémon that almost act like a hivemind, and we are not supposed to think at all about how we may hurt them in battle any more than we do with the angry Manectric pack or random dungeon pokémon. This, I believe, is why the game has them stand up against Dialga and gives them unique dialogue at the end of se5. They're meant to show their inner shine, just as Dusknoir managed to do. They suddenly gain an individuality they had never shown while they were working to maintain the dark future.

Where they abandoned Dusknoir in the Old Ruins, now Grovyle has motivated them to look for their dignity and fight for a better world, and that starts with protecting their leader from Primal Dialga's rampage, and supporting his new objective and allies in their quest to save the future. In their own small way, they've also grown as characters throughout SE5.

I believe that, overall, Dusknoir saw the Sableye as tools, but thanks to their growth and clear care for him, there's a possibility he might start to see them (and by extension other pokémon) in a more genuine, less pragmatic / objectifying way in the future. Now that Dusknoir has the chance to live a fulfilling life, he may learn to care for others without surrounding himself by so many walls. If anything, I think their future is quite bright. Not that the Sableye would mind if he still thrashed them around, though lol, they're clearly not bothered much by it (special episode 0 had a great depiction of the sableye imo, you can check that romhack if you haven't yet).

In conclusion, look at these little guys who adore their can-get-mean-but-is-mostly-polite boss and probably have a body count but now are good, they're so cute:

he lost count of the amount of drinks he had after the fourth glass was refilled, the rest were nothing but a blur. it wasn't like he could say no when your boss invites the whole team for drinks after such a long, exhausting day. hyunbin wasn't even sure who it was that guided him from the bar to the car that took him home. he'd probably been home a good ten minutes, just sprawled out on his bed, having yet to change into more comfortable clothing when those feelings he tried his damnedest to deny consumed him. the undeniable urge to make contact with them again arose, somebody from his past that he hadn't managed to forget. who was he to deny himself what he wanted? hyunbin squinted as he opened the contacts list on his phone, scrolling for a moment before clicking what he thought was their information and quickly began typing. then erasing. typing again, more erasing, and more typing. he hit send before he allowed himself another moment to second guess himself. he wasn't aware, yet, that the message sent wasn't to it's intended recipient.

plot: y/m is helping juune repair the bugs she has stashed around her cantina. they have about 10 minutes or less before a Separatist higher up comes back to their room . . . so they have to work quick.

“There’s one in the lamp.” Juune started, checking to make sure the sensor outside the door was working. So far so good, it should let them know if the guest came back earlier than expected. “And one in the statue by the couch.” The cantina owner headed over to a seemingly innocent plant, digging around for a few seconds before she tugged out a wired microphone. She let out a huff. “Last time I buy from those jawas again. Reliable bugs my arse.” Juune grumbled, before she set to work tinkering with the bug. “Thanks for helping, by the way.”

Hey there!

What did you think about the Pokémon Presents?

Are you hyped for Z-A?

I know Arceus will still be number 1 (at least to me) but I’m looking forward!

I’m also so happy for AZ!!

He looks so much better and he has his Floette around. (Hope we’re getting a Floette or even the whole evolution line to be catchable!)

So and since it’s gonna be future-esque I’m wondering if someone gets eebied and/or who else we will meet as themse or their descendants!!

IM SO SORRY IM SO LATE TO THIS BUT THANK YOU FOR ASKING ME FOR MY THOUGHTS!! ^^

LONG LONG RAMBLE INCOMING!!

Gonna be honest what I saw of Z-A disappointed me a little haha. I’m still excited for it but it hit me the same way SV did. I’ll play it but I don’t feel the same excitement for it as I did PLA.

And yes, as of now Ingo and Akari play a very big part in my interest with PLA, but back when we got our very first trailer for PLA showing the gameplay, I knew nothing about the story but just seeing we were going to be out in the wilderness in a noticeably different time period made me SO EXCITED.

I’d assumed PLZA would also be in the past since the series is titled Legends, but I was wrong haha. And that was a massive disappointment for me. My fault for expecting it, I should know not to do that for pokemon games lol, but that was a huge draw for me to PLA — to be in a different time period to see how people bonded with pokemon back then. I didn’t even KNOW I wanted something like that until I saw PLA’s first trailer. So to get another game that while yes, it’s in the future, from what we’ve seen so far it’s virtually indistinguishable from the technology, society, and lifestyle we see in every other mainline game, it feels… not boring to me exactly, but certainly not exciting lol.

BUT I am VERY excited to see how real-time battles go. Another huge plus from me was how PLA changed the traditional battle system a little bit, and I feel like I may end up liking this battle system even more with its more drastic changes. I’m just a little nervous how dependent these battles will be on reaction times as my neck injury is still messing with the use of my hands and I cannot play games like this without hurting them. But I’m probably imagining worst case scenarios (this is still a kid’s franchise after all) and I’m hoping my neck will be fixed by then so that I can enjoy it.

AND AS FOR AZ. I AM SO HAPPY FOR THAT MAN. As far as I know, we’ve never had media that shows how AZ as Floette are doing together after they’ve reunited. I’m so happy we get to see this now, and that AZ is a happier man, and that Floette is back and can see how much he’s changed for her. I love them very much and it was cathartic to see how things got better as time went on.

I wouldn’t say I’m exactly expecting it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if eternal flower Floette get’s have an entire line for it that is not unique and can now be catchable; I have seen people point out how new entries now refer to this variant as ‘Eternal Flower Floette’ instead of ‘AZ’s Floette’ now. So we’ll see! I’m very excited to see this game’s new Pokemon forms in general.

Honestly I do not think we’re going to see someone else get thrown through space-time (and I’d rather not it’s very sad lol) but you never know, seeing as we got to see Looker’s/Emma’s office in the trailer. I AM however very excited to see if we do end up getting more descendants like what SV’s indigo disk did. I always think it’s fun to see that!

Overall, I am looking forward to PLZA. I want to see more content from it before I decide how I feel about it, and then I need to play to see if those feelings are unfounded. I already know it will most likely not hit me the same way PLA did but that is ok.

Thanks for asking for my thoughts anon, I always appreciate when someone wants to hear them ;w; <3
