ok but edgy pokemon au where after the villainous team gets defeated, arceus or something punishes them by mutating them into monstrous versions of themselves. 

giovanni was the luckiest, due to his gym leader status he still remained mostly normal, but he can feel the pain of all the pokemon around him. he can feel his skin being singed off his body with no heat in sight, drowning in bone-dry land, his body ripped apart and look down to see himself perfectly intact. of course, the pokemon aren’t having nearly as painful experiences. the moves are as if they were used on giovanni himself. even seeing a battle on tv makes him sick to his stomach. but he has a gym to run, regardless of the status. no one must know that all he can feel is pain.

Maxie, however, wished arceus was as merciful with him. maxie can’t feel anything but scorching heat anymore. hot lava flows through his veins, slowly roasting him from the inside out, only kept alive due to his tendency to vomit excessive amounts of magma, the stuff drips out of his every orfice. he can’t get too close to any kind of liquid, as he could turn to stone until the lava inside of him heats up his skin, starting the process all over again. you can tell how many times he tried, the thin sheets of rock from previous attempts at finally ending his suffering remain on his skin; a monument to failure.

Archie’s body is barely held together, his body is more liquid than solid. any kind of heat is fatal to him, as he could evaporate easily. being too cold is just as bad, should he freeze. much like Maxie, liquid is much avoided since he could liquefy with it. the two leaders exchange glances from safe distances, silently asking each other how everything could’ve gone so horribly wrong. 

Cyrus got what he wanted, he is the god of his own universe. he has burns on his skin from the heat of the stars illuminating the universe inside of him. supernovas within his universe have torn off limbs of his, another one growing in it’s place. he glows faintly, and you can see black holes in his eyes destroying everything in their path. every now and then Cyrus is ripped apart atom by atom and rebuilt again, just like he tried to do to the universe around him.

Ghetsis suddenly takes on the form of wild pokemon at random, enduring everything from starvation to accidentally becoming a punching bag for bigger, stronger pokemon. just when he may find some semblance of comfort or happiness in his pokemon form, he disappears and finds himself in that castle in his human form. alone and unloved.

Lysandre is barely recognizable. rubble is embedded in what’s left of his skin, his bones have cracks that sometimes make them break all over again. his voice has been reduced to an inhuman, hellish roar. he tried to seek out his old friends, and tried and tried to show them it was him, but was only met with screams and attacks. realizing he had become everything he hated, he went to the kalosian catacombs and wanders the halls, wailing to whatever deity is out there to put him out of his misery. local legend tells of a nightmarish screech below lumiose city said to bring bad luck to those who hear it.

Arceus knew guzma posed no threat and thus only gave him a small but persistent curse. whenever the mood struck, guzma would be hallucinate wildly. psychadelic delusions of becoming an island champion dissolved into bright neon colors that re-materialized into fun-filled beach days that dissolved into nothingness, leaving him with nothing but crushing guilt. when he decided to try and redeem himself, the hallucinations became positive messages of encouragement and persistence. now, the alienating highs are few and far between.
