The Red Sky Above.

Summary: A look at what Luca went through during the darkest day.

Note: tbh, I made this on a whim and I don't like it much. I might revisit this in the future, but I think it's good enough of a portrayal of Luca's trauma. Also I know that dynnamaxed pokemon don't have red glowing eyes, but for the sake of the fic( I'm too lazy to fix anything), let's say the ones during the Darkest Day do.

TW: Blood, severe injury ( implied), panic attack (?)

Anyway, enjoy :)

He didn't understand what was happening. Only the fact that he was lost and scared. The sky was red. Their was a feeling in the air that just felt so….suffocating. Suffocating his lungs as he ran for his life, the sky red above him, and the ground trembled below. There was yelling from all directions,people screaming in fear or in pain- the Dynamax pokemon towering over all of them, their cries piercing his ears with their might, rampaging across the streets. They were people in suits - he thinks, he's not entirely sure- trying to hold them off but the pokemon are too strong, too crazed with whatever that was happening to be stopped.

What was he doing again? Oh, right. Running for his life.

Luca doesn't know how he ended up like this. One minute he was with his sister, watching the Championship Match on her Rotom phone as they waited for their bus to come home. The next thing he knew he lost his sister in the chaos, running away from the gaint pokemon rampaging across Hammerlocke, barely dodging the debris that was falling left and right. He was crying, he was sure of that, his voice almost going hoarse as he yelled for his sister. They weren't heard- not yet- as his voice was buried underneath the chaos around him. So all he could do was run.

And so he did. He ran and ran and ran, the Red Sky and the scary gaint Pokemon looming over him, taunting him, chasing him as if he had no escape. He was scared. So very scared. He wanted to go home. He wanted to his sister, his parents. He wanted the Red Sky and the giant pokemon to go away. He wanted this day to end.

And then he tripped. He fell to the ground harshly, scraping his knees as he does. He hisses, just about to get up until…until he sees a large shadow looming over him. He turns around to see it. One of the dynnamaxed pokemon rampaging the city. Right behind him. Just about to crush him where he stands. His heart begins pound in his chest, his eyes glued to the beast above, coated in a red mist with blood red eyes shine down below. He's going to die. He's going to die.

" Get up!" His mind begs, " Get up!! Run!!!" It begs and pleads but he can't move. He's frozen, ever skill as he stares up at those blood red eyes. At his death. He can't breathe. He can't-

"LUCA!"

It happened so fast,yet again. It seems to be a theme. He just feels himself getting pushed-no, thrown backwards, away from the beast. He blinks, and he sees said pokemon be surrounded by those people in suits,the pokemon itself staggering away. He blinks again and looks up- the sky is still red. The screams are still loud. He still feels like he suffocating. He blinks one more time. He looks down.

Red mixed with black. Blood splatters across the pavement, her hair flown forward, covering his face. Rubble was covering the lower half of her body, trapping her in Her hand was reached outwards to him. She wasn't moving. His sister wasn't moving.

Luca doesn't hear the voices approaching him and his sister. He doesn't see the people in suits hurriedly getting his sister out of the rubble, rushing her to a hospital. He doesn't see any of that. He just sees red.

Red blood.

Red eyes.

Red sky.

Until he sees nothing, falling back to the surprising comfort of the dark. He wants to wake up and let it all be a bad dream. No Red Sky taunting him everywhere he goes. No screams of the people and pokemon around him. No dynnamaxed pokemon looming over him, destroying things in their wake. No sister's blood on the ground below.

And yet.

Nothing like the leaders of an elite army battalion raiding a kitchen like newborn dear cause none of them know how to actually cook.

In case it wasn't obvious I had stupid amounts of fun drawing this one. It was meant to be a silly warm up sketch but hahaha cut to a few hours later and I put my whole ass into drawing these dorks.

Making my very first poll to ask the important questions here

[nerdyfangirlingbooks]

Every now and then I remember the times I would mention to my flatmate that I was thinking of buying myself something reasonably expensive (that I had been eyeing up for months and had budgeted for) and she'd tell me that I shouldn't spend that much money on something I didn't need and it would be stupid etc etc while she regularly impulse bought things that cost at least as much and she would use once (while complaining that she was under a lot of financial stress and couldn't afford <$3/week for 2 months for a rental washing machine when ours broke). She is... perhaps not my first call for financial advice

Todays episode of "my MIL thinks she knows better than us" was really fucking annoying and I hope they don't syndicate it

Dashi please?

ok buckle up kiddos because I have some hot takes about Dashi.

yk how I was just talking about Shellington, and how he's lovable but in desperate need of lore?

Dashi's the same. I love her—she just... has so little. sure, she's got her core personality: secret daredevil, strong-but-still-feminine, clever, artsy, sporty, tech girl. but past that? I feel like she's missing the ✨ spark ✨ that Shellington has. the only lick of lore she has is her thing with Ryla, but they've barely even touched on that since SA.

I came to the realization recently that most of my favourite things about Dashi are the things I've made up about her; my own headcanons and theories.

she wasn't super active in the main series (she doesn't have her own special), and you can tell that they're really TRYING to fix this in AnB, by making her "Captain of the Octoray" and having her in almost every other episode, but... still. I don't know if this'll make sense, but it feels like she's not evolving, she's changing, and that's a whole other thing. she's there all the time, yeah, but a lot of her big episodes so far (off the top of my head) have to do with either the Octoray, Koshi, or someone else. I think she deserves better.

imo her best episodes are The Manta Rays, Surfing Snails, Wild Windstorms (which has an Octoray focus), The Longfin Eels (which is a Koshi ep), and a S5 episode that I can't talk about yet. she's a character who I think would benefit greatly from an "alone-time" episode (ie: an ep where she's forced to be completely on her own); Peso got a bunch of them, and they were some of his best.

give Dashi some SPICE, silvergate, please 🙏

also, her camera was such a big part of her personality in the main series, but we've barely seen it at all in AnB. where is it? what happened to national seaographic? honestly, with them being on land so often, I would've expected them to get a proper introduction by now.
