#i adore the dynamic of team bolas so much

Stay away from those whose names appear in red. If you get close, you'll lose your sanity, too, or become one of their sacrifices to the same gods they scream at. The same gods they curse in the same breath as joyus laughter.

They tear each other limb from limb and laugh. They're covered in blood, their own blood.

One of them bites into a raw potato like it's the red apple of original sin, spurred on by her teammates like snake in the tree of knowledge.

"God hath forsaken us! Confess your sins!"

His hands press together as he stands in the flames of their fire pit. "I am a murder! I don't regret it! I'll keep doing it!" He is consumed by the flames. He returns for the next burning.

Her hands reach out towards the onlookers as she stands in the flames of their fire pit. "I'm a back stabber! I don't care who I hurt in the process!" She is consumed by the flames. She returns for the next confession.

His hands stretch out the side of him, palms facing out toward the others, as he stands in the flames of their fire pit. "I am a liar! I knew from the start!" He is consumed by the flames. He returns for another sacrifice.

Their home, their place of worship, is built on their bloodshed. They die on each other's and their swords because it is fun.

"God hath forsaken us! We're having fun!"

They tear each other limb from limb and dance and laugh. They're having so much fun.

They scream at and curse the gods they so dutifully worship until their time runs out. Their eyelids get heavy, and they sleep.

I see people making Pokemon aus and I adore all of them, but also raise you: Pokemon Ranger (Shadows of Almia) QSMP AU. The first 'batch' of eggs are the graduating class at ranger school, the others either too young and so around or younger students (some of which may be on placement anyway so they can stick around). The adults have jobs around and about, mostly with the Ranger Union but not all. Some of the egg parents are already parents, but some will adopt kids later idk details. Don't have many Pokemon either. Also everything is only up to gen 4 except where it isn't.

A couple of thoughts

Chayanne is the protagonist, who accidentally reacts to the special magic tools and thus ends up the only person able to do the work. The adults do everything they can to help him. His main partner is psyduck, though he has some others.

Missa runs the farm on the coast (soulfire vibes) where Chayanne's non-active Pokemon hang out. Tallulah also lives there, being too young for ranger boarding school, and helps look after them. She also has a Kriketot.

Ramón has gone into the science side of things. Fit is already his dad, and Pac and Mike have taken him under their wings. He has a magnemite.

Richas is too young for any of this, but also keeps running off trying to help. Gible.

Etoiles is one of the Top Rangers, but from another region. He moved here recently. Pomme is his protege, and they plus the other French live together.

Baghera and Bagi do not work for the union, but I think it'd be fun if they had a PI company together. Even if they don't really have that dynamic in canon, I think it would be fun.

Philza used to be a top ranger, but stepped down some time ago. He now runs the ranger sub-union Chayanne is originally placed with (Chayanne is now trying to set him up with Missa). Not sure who else is there, maybe some of the Bolas members? As an Ender King callout he can get possessed by Darkrai towards the end, allowing Darkrai to actually speak to Chayanne. Unlike the Ender King, Darkrai is however being mind controlled and trying not to hurt the kid. There's probably some history.

Dapper is trained as a Ranger, but is probably eventually going to end up as a research assistant because he likes collecting Pokemon. So, he finds weird ones, brings them back for the scientists to study, rather than full on rescue missions.

Cellbit probably runs the ranger union proper and that's so boring but I guess. He's absolutely getting kidnapped and reawakening some surpressed horrific childhood memories at some point. But this is also a Pokemon world so they won't be /as/ bad as canon. Probably just got kidnapped as a kid too.

The Federation are bankrolling the team who are kidnapping and torturing Pokemon to try make unlimited energy. Darkrai is their big prize.

Felps is Felps. He and/or Cellbit probably get kidnapped sometime. Oops.

Tubbo isn't strictly part of the Union, but he's contracted to do some of the repair work. He also provides motorbikes, scooters, all of that sort of thing. Mechanic guy. Much of what he builds breaks the laws of sense, but he's just like that. Hangs out with Pac and Mike and Fit, and makes even bigger breaks in the laws of reality.

Fit is a veteran but not top ranger. He's also technically speaking working for a third party who may or may not want him to sabotage certain operations. He was absolutely fine with this. And then he adopted Ramón. And then he got a hot Brazilian Boyfriend. And now he has moral problems with it that'll likely eventually lead to problems, but they'll work it out this is a Pokemon au.

Foolish starts out as the Federation's liason to the Ranger Union. He'll betray them eventually, for now he's quietly gathering info.

Jaiden works comms.
