#heading to alola!

[ask-luut]

Hazel: "So, what happened before that made you wanna... you know? Do you wanna talk about it at all?"

Leaning backwards on the railing, she looked to Hazel, her mask and tufts changing to match Hazel's eye color.

Luut: "The short answer, is a lot. But I'm sure you don't want that answer. So let's start from the earliest. Being a Chroma type is rare, back when I was in school, I always got bullied for it, which started the whole thing, I became secluded, less trusting. Hell, even my own parents were disgusted by me."

She looked out to the horizon.

Luut: "Later on, there was a lot of discrimination, people and Pokémon aren't very receptive to those unlike themselves, getting a job was nigh impossible, I had to hide that I was a Chroma type to get the one I had before and even then it was bad. Abusive workplace, too many hours for little pay, believe it or not, but I was homeless for a long time."

She pulled out her pack of cigarettes.

Luut: "These were my only life-savers, other than the girl that saved me from ending it all."

She looked back to Hazel.

Luut: "All in all, my entire life has been nothing but attacks from others. These days, more are accepting of Chroma types but it's still pretty rough."

I think that when Lillie gets to Kanto with her mum after the events of Sunday and Moon she should catch a timid little Tentacool for her team!

Ta!Ash is so protective over his coffee, not because Kukui could snatch it out of his hands to try and force a break on him, but because it’s actually palatable to the students since it’s so damn sweet.

how did we all manage to end up on the same boat,,

[meistoshi]

assorted alola things because it's highly relevant right now. i will obviously not make anyone adhere to all of this, my only sticking point is satoshi being alola's first champion, but this is all base blog canon, mixing anime with a bit of game canon; i'm open to being loosey goosey with aspects of junk.

after becoming alola's first champion, satoshi stayed for another year to help with setting up the league as a recurring annual event, as well as to assist in ultra beast outbreaks & lend a hand where he could with aether in light of lusamine's. uh. pr disaster let's say.

restructured the preliminaries for the league from a 100+ free-for-all battle royal into first-come-first-fought 3v1 battle royals, extending the length of the conference but providing more safety for the trainers & a clearer view of the battles themselves, as well as adding entertainment value with more battles & extending how much time people might spend exploring & spending at local stalls.

ensured there are no requirements for entry beyond three battle-ready pokémon up until the top4 & six battle-ready pokémon for the quarter-, semi-, & finals ; only those seeking to challenge the champion directly are required to have completed the island trial challenge. the pokémon do not necessarily need to be caught or be legally registered to the trainer, but they need to be registered in some capacity as the chosen roster prior to battle.

satoshi returned for the third season to defend his title against kaki, that year's victor. as the previous year's conference victor, the exhibition match will be kaki vs champion.

satoshi left majority of league responsibility in the hands of kukui & the kahunas, up until recently.

due to talks with people more critical of the pokémon league, & particularly the alolan league's establishing, satoshi's switched a large amount of his attention to doubling down on making the league compatible with alolan tradition & the region's general conditions.

he's currently entirely caught up on what the aether foundation has been up to as far as anything digitally documented goes thanks to rotom — the dex's overenthusiasm & disregard for what counts as "confidential" means it's informed satoshi of these contents as well.

satoshi is on amicable-to-friendly terms with majority of team skull & doesn't hide or shy away from any advocacy for them, & is not quiet about rooting for any of them, especially ree.

he's likewise open about his favor with the alolan guardian deities, & is proud of his rivalry with kapu-kokeko. the rivalry is very common knowledge among melemele locals, & it's extremely public knowledge that the deity challenged satoshi & pikachu at the end of the first league's exhibition match & that, in a clash of z move versus z move, pikachu's 10mil volts defeated kapu kokeko's guardian de alola.

satoshi has come to terms with the fact that the choice of current conference location was an error on kukui's part & has advocated with him & members of the league association for the conference to be moved ; his past experiences on pasio have heavily inspired him to suggest creating an artifical island not far from aether paradise, also in the area roughly equal distance from all the islands' ports. preparations are still under way, but satoshi hopes for this to be completed in time for the 5th league season.

while staying in the region, satoshi has continued to live with kukui & burnet, & the recent addition of their son lei, & apart from the obvious pikachu, has both his alolan pokémon team on call & lucario, as well as other pokémon brought to alola, battle intent or not, & pokémon recently caught in the region ; while it remains with the other flying ride pokémon, satoshi's arranged for his ride gaburias to be entirely registered to him during his stays in the region, though it's free for anyone to page when he's elsewhere.

dug around and my post-platinum arc speculation is mostly in the tags so it's not worth resurfacing that post but i do want to reiterate!!!!!

it's still my headcanon that moon is older than platinum and that dp/pt arcs took place between sumo and usum arcs (and all after xy and oras). mostly because i never liked the timeline where sun and moon were 10+ years younger than the sinnoh trio. but also because it's fun to think about!!!

dp/pt takes place over roughly three months and sun/moon were trapped in ultra space for six months. the theory isn't perfect (coughrotomcough) but things do line up for plat to still be considered an only child when she leaves home. and older sister moon is :) very fun to think on. all the implications there.

[ask-luut]

Luut walked out onto the bridge of the ship, leaning over the edge, pulling a cigarette out, looking at it, she paused for a moment before putting it away.

Luut: "Not right now."

Her mask turned a pale white, her eyes and tufts turning blue.

Luut: "Ar-Luut. You've got bad habits, and theyve gotta stop. Keep them for emergencies. Today is just as colorless as any other, who knows if I'll ever see it like the rest do ever again?"

She chuckled lightly to herself.

[forestofmemories]

i know the most uh. let’s say important matches are satoshi vs gladio and satoshi vs kukui but to be honest my fav matches aside from those are suiren vs mao and kaki vs maamane, they never fail to make me cry

[kalosstarters]

Am I the only one (probably not) who still, when thinking about the previous pokemon gen, automatically thinks ‘oh, you mean SuMo, right?’. Somehow I find it bizarre that it’s actually been 6 years since the release of those games and there is actually another generation between SuMo and Scarvio :’D

[lilycoving]

Well, today has been a success. I’m content, I’m happy, I’m warm, it really would be difficult for today to get much better!
