A Quick Pokemon Hot Take:

A MASSIVE missed opportunity in Pokemon Sun and Moon + USUM would’ve been to actually battle Mother Beast Lusamine like she was an actual Pokemon. Imagine the chills players would get when the words “Mother Beast Lusamine Appeared!” On the screen.

Instead of battling her Pokemon, you’d actually get to battle LUSAMINE HERSELF. And at the end of the fight, you and your companions combine all of your powers together to unleash a Z Move that ultimately takes her down.

The Former Aether President has achieved her dream, fusing with the parasite @ub01symbiontnihilego and becoming an Ultra beast-Human hybrid, becoming its worthy host.

About the fusion

Under normal circumstances, the host will be more like a puppet and mostly controlled by the Nihilego, as the Ultra Beast, and the neurotoxin caused by the Nihilego may cause the host's mental functions to slowly diminish. This may also cause the host's mind to revert into a more childish state.

This particular Nihilego is one of the biggest of its hive and therefore is good at fusing and manipulating hosts and making them bend to its will, which might make you think that this might just be a parasitic relationship where Nihilego assumes most control.

However, as this Nihilego had been caught by the Aether President and had even fused with her before, the Nihilego wants to fuse with Lusamine not just to feed on her and force her to do whatever it wants, but also because Lusamine wants this too and Nihilego wants to get closer with its beautiful trainer. If Lusamine did not want to fuse with Nihilego, it would not capture her against her will.

This makes their relationship less parasitic and more mutualistic/symbiotic with each other. Lusamine's mindset will not return back to a child and will be instead one of a grown woman, and instead of the host being forced to devote everything to Nihilego, there will be just a little manipulation that causes the host to not rebel against it. After all, Nihilego is not that concerned about disloyalty towards itself as it knows Lusamine willingly fused with it because it is her desire to do so.

Nihilego however can still pump strong neurotoxins to evoke strong feelings as well as influence her thinking, but usually does it when Lusamine is stressed as the venom can turn negative feelings into positive ones. Nihilego also amplifies Lusamine's desires, first being her motherly tendencies, and therefore makes the other Nihilego in its hive treat Lusamine as its mother, hence "Mother Beast", and secondly, her desire to take revenge on Lillie and Selene, who had forced her to unfuse with Nihilego the first time.

About Mother Beast Lusamine Herself:

The Nihilego that has fused with her taken a blackened form, its original white bell with white stars becoming purple-black colored, the white stars encircling it becoming iridescent spots. The bell expanding greatly and becoming an pear-oval shape.

There are 8 black tentacles, those expanded from the cute white tentacles of a wild Nihilego, 4 being stingers to inject poison into enemies and 4 being claw-like tentacles. They are controlled by 3 white control points. The claw-like tentacles can be controlled by the host through their hands if it is placed inside the control points. However, Nihilego can just control these tentacles on its own if it wishes to. Nihilego can also see through the eyes in the tentacles (3 on each stinger tentacle and 1 on each claw-like tentacle), usually when it senses something from afar.

Lusamine herself had also undergone some changes. Her skin became more tan, her eyes become more of a yellow shade, and her original yellow hair becomes purple with yellow streaks, and gets bundled up and goes all around the bell. Her skirt and leggings are stained purple. The crystals on her hair, chest, and shoes are all absorbed for the fusion, and even her shoes are discarded in the process of the fusion. However, Lusamine can some of the clothes using the poison, if she feels sexy maybe.

Lusamine can use her human hands and legs all the same and can see through her normal human eyes, but she can also control the tentacles as stated above.

She is also still able to speak human language, but her speech is rather distorted, creepy yet seductive, and slightly muffled as if she was underwater.

The Mother Beast is bonded to the leader of the Nihilego nest, and she also has some influence on the smaller Nihilego.

She is also not immortal, she just ages very slowly.

Mother Beast's goal is to take revenge on Selene and Lillie, who had forced her to be seperated from Nihilego. She wants to achieve this by making a Nihilego absorb Selene so that she is no more while making another Nihilego fuse with Lillie in a similar way that she is, making Lillie care about satisfying the Nihilego, and as she has influence over the other Nihilego, Lillie may be obedient to her too, so Lillie can finally be the perfect daughter she always wanted her to be.

She also wants to retain control of the Aether foundation, with its focus changed to inter-dimensional travel, and releasing Ultra Beasts to coexist with humans in Alola.

@aetherceuse, cont.

An age-old legend from lands far away spoke of a harrowing calamity, of a time when the lords of Time and Space and Destruction descended from the heavens to unleash their fury upon the lands and each other. It was a time of death and great suffering, so needlessly violent as to incur the wrath of Nature and Dragonfire. When the gods wage war all life suffers, be it man or beast, as the very fabrics of the universe are torn at the seams.

Although scans did reveal the creature to be a Pokémon, it was plenty obvious that it did not come from this world, perhaps not even from this very reality. Its genetic makeup was all wrong; its energy readings were more akin to that of Ultra Beasts, as faded as it may be from a long life lived on this planet. Truly, this was an ancient beast, worn and covered in a myriad of scars. It would be no surprise, then, that the bizarre Pokémon would enrapture a certain blonde woman.

"M- Ms. President," stammered one of the foundation's scientists, putting away a pad and holding out a hand as if to stop her as she passed by. "Please, don't get too close to it... We've found that the Pokémon harbours some kind of pathogen that we haven't had the opportunity to fully exa-"

The scientist was immediately cut off by a blood-curdling growl emanating from the sleeping giant.

Slowly, surely, Goldie awoke from her slumber, another withering snarl rising from deep within her throat as she was oh so rudely disturbed. The talons crowning her wing-arms dug deep into the ground as she pushed herself onto her four feet, these claws much smaller than her talons yet still wickedly sharp and powered by robust limbs. The membranes of her wings billowed like a burnt cape as she moved, framing her massive body. A tail was revealed, thick as a tree trunk at the base and tapering to a whip-like point, bladed spikes lining it along its lateral length. Then Goldie parted her jaws, thick and robust, and filled with many blood-curdling teeth befitting of a vicious hunter.

Her eyes, deep red and glowing afire, locked on the woman standing before her, speaking to her. Goldie stood at her full height, somehow even bigger than before, looming threateningly. It took no genius to realise that this was a monster built for slaughter, whose glorious shine had been worn away through constant bloodshed and conflict. She was no feeble, ailing victim seeking help. Far from it.

However, this was also an intelligent and thinking beast. Any other monster would have bared down on the woman in an attempt to tear her to bloody pieces, but not Goldie. Though the dragon did growl, so menacingly as to make any lesser person soil their pants, she made no moves that could be interpreted as aggressive. The scientist from before still made the wise decision of scurrying away, hastening their steps as they felt Goldie's chilling gaze following them, before she turned her attention back to the woman.

Goldie had been around people for long enough to conclude that said woman must be the one in charge. She raised her wings off the ground -- hanging limply to her sides like a person's arms -- then the dragon approached. Her massive size meant great weight as her every step made the surrounding earth shudder, and she stopped barely a hair's breadth away from the woman's face. Goldie inhaled deeply; she could tell that this was most likely the leader of the surrounding people, but there was something else that slowly earned her the dragon's interest. An air of belonging and kinship, one of sheer elegance and skin-crawling wrongness.

Like Goldie herself.

Then she exhaled, her breath reeking of death and decay; and likely messed up the woman's hair.

In the backdrop a different scientist called out, "Please, Ms. President, get away from it!" They visibly flinched when the dragon's terrifying gaze fell upon them and their fellow employees. "We- We can't have you get infected by it! We don't know what the pathogen's effects are!"

General Pokémon Villain HC’s PT. 2

((Part 2 of the Pokémon villain headcanon saga. Characters are in no particular order. Also, content warning for a few entries. Also, forgive me for some spelling and grammatical errors.))

Lusamine🪼

Although her actions are abusive and controlling, it all stems from grief. Of course, it’s not an excuse for how Lusamine treated her children. Lillie and Gladion haven’t done anything to deserve this kind of treatment. As deplorable as her actions are, Lusamine convinced herself that she’s trying to do the right thing in order to bring her husband back. However, it became twisted and vile, morphing into obsession rather than a valiant effort. Lusamine has no idea of what she’s doing as her desperation and obsessive behavior cloud her good character. Whatever respectability she has accrued over the years goes out the window as she tries (and fails) to succeed in her personal mission.

Truthfully, Lusamine resents Ultra Beasts (UB for short). They took her husband away and are the sole reason why her obsession took root. Her children ran away because of UB’s and she got possessed by Nihilego, the toxins of which are still somewhat present in her system that couln’t be removed.

Speaking of Nihilego’s toxins, the doctors in Kanto (and some from Alola) were able to remove most of the poison from Lusamine’s body. However, a few areas have latched onto her system strongly, making removal impossible and could cause complications. Such areas include her head and arms, inhibiting mobility and memory. There are moments where the poison does affect her vision, so Lusamine cannot see quite as well whenever it occurs. Fainting spells happen often that doctors recommended Lusamine to be confined in a wheelchair for a few months until they can figure out how to completely remove the poison entirely.

Currently attending therapy. Aside from the possession she endured by the hand of Nihilego, Lusamine attends therapy to work out her own mental and emotional health. Going to therapy was actually Lillie’s suggestion.

Deep down, like really deep down, Lusamine loves her children. She does. However, trying to rebuild that love and connection that she destroyed by her own hand will take a long time. While Lillie is open to the possibility of reconciliation, Gladion is more hesitant.

Doesn’t really operate too much at the Aether Foundation. Most of the responsibility has fallen onto Wicke and Lusamine sort of just shadows here and there. She’s embarrassed about showing herself to her peers and usually does foundation work online inside her home. Her work gets looked after by Wicke, as an added precaution.

Whenever Lillie comes home from Kanto, she tries to spend time with Lusamine. While Lillie is open to having a relationship with her mother once again, it’s difficult as bad memories come flooding back. However, Lusamine encourages Lillie to talk about it and allows her to air out the painful feelings that were brought about during that time. Lusamine doesn’t say a word and just lets her daughter vent, because to her, she needs to be reminded of what she has done. When Lillie finishes, Lusamine reminds Lillie that she has every right to be angry and every right to not forgive her. Lusamine wants to be a good mother to her kids, but understands that it may not be possible given what she has done. All she can do is listen and validate their feelings and promise to be better.

Ghetsis👑

An unstable individual without a doubt. Can barely distinguish reality from his own warped twisted view.

Everyone’s just a pawn to him and it doesn’t matter who. The Seven Sages, his useless Grunts, and, of course, N are all parts in his little toolbox. He could easily convince others to do something or, God forbid, trust his word with a simple heart to heart. He’s a master at words and knows what strings to pluck.

Such a drama queen, emphasis on drama. Ghetsis literally cannot stand being criticized nor ignored. He surrounds himself with yes men, ie. The Seven Sages, and their unwavering approval towards him gives him the push to keep doing what he’s doing. Just like how a cult leader operates.

Ghetsis doesn’t get Pokémon. He understands they are fantastical beings, but he never understood them with a humane approach. He acquired his team from the Seven Sages, each one gifting Ghetsis their partner Pokémon to dedicate their loyalty to him. These Pokémon had no idea of the world of hurt and mistreatment that Ghetsis would soon bestow upon them. Ghetsis’ “training” wasn’t anything like Pokémon battling or sparing. He would force his team to undergo harsh experiments to push beyond their limitations to the point of life threatening. Hydreigon got the worst of it and actually retaliated against Ghetsis by viciously attacking him, causing near fatal injuries.

I want to theorize that Ghetsis’ lineage, the Harmonia name, may be linked to the Abyssal Ruins somehow. It’s a long stretch, but for some reason, I see Ghetsis having some strange connection to the sunken temple with its abundance of wealth and knowledge. The ruins might have been a palace or something akin to the Library of Alexandria, where Unovian rulers amassed a swath of power and influence and knowledge over the region. I feel like Ghetsis’ family tree may have something to do with it considering how the site seems to be full of unsolved mystery. And knowing how other NPCs talk about it and the items that the player can find, it just feels like something that can be traced back to Ghetsis as he’s someone who believes has a divine right.

Ghetsis feels phantom pain on his right eye all the time. It got taken out by Hydreigon and he can’t see quite as well. However, he’ll feel a throbbing sensation. However, he doesn’t feel any pain or discomfort on his right side at all. It’s just his right eye.

Has a dark sense of humor. A morbid sense of humor.

If there’s ANY sense of normalcy with this man, he’s an avid reader. He likes to engage with mythology and science, primarily related to technology and energy, as well as history books about Unova’s past. Anytime where he’s not plotting world domination, he’s got his nose in a book.

Despite being an adoptive father, Ghetsis has never formed a genuine connection with his children. Concordia and Anthea barely spent time with him, but whenever he would, he’d be soft and gentle. Of course, it didn’t stop him from brainwashing them into his cult and putting the responsibility of N’s well-being over their own, especially at a young age. He would always emphasize N’s importance as crucial and simultaneously make the girls believe that their existence is to serve N. As for N himself, well, we all know the story by now.

Lysandre🔥

Gonna be real honest here: this dude gave me a lot to think about, headcanon wise. It’s not so much the fact that he’s kind of intimidating to write about, but more on the fact that he’s kind of mid whenever the topic lands on him specifically. Lysandre happens to be both complicated yet interesting, so it gave me something to munch on.

Lysandre oozes with confidence. He takes pride in his work and public image. He can handle stress pretty well and knows exactly how to deal with issues that crop up in his daily life, which I can only hope to aspire to be one day.

His relationship with Sycamore is near and dear to him. Lysandre shares mutual respect with Sycamore and keeps in touch to get any recent news or highlights on the professor’s research. These two go way back and their interactions are pleasant and low key. However, as they gotten busier, their meet-ups dwindled. Still, Sycamore remains as Lysandre’s closest friend and someone whom Lysandre can turn towards whenever he’s upset about something.

Connecting with the prior point, knowing Lysandre’s villainous goals and the overall destructive effect it would entail, he decided on a selective few who he wanted to spare. Sycamore happened to be person number one.

People perceive Lysandre differently and it all depends on who you talk to. Some say that he’s quite generous as a philanthropist while others say he’s elusive and hard to read. Others make assumptions based on superficial observations such as his wealth and popularity. Honestly, it’s never consistent.

Despite what others think, Lysandre falls into the introvert category. He doesn’t like to be in public for long periods of time, but bears through it because of his job.

Coffee lover. I mean, he has his own café so it’s pretty much canon?

I’ll just say it here: Malva is a simp for this man. She has special connections with Lysandre and as a result she’s able to get the full scoop on his secretive activity behind the public’s eye. Lysandre absolutely knows that Malva’s got a thing for him (I mean, she’s got good taste) and he definitely does use that to his advantage. He can convince her to manipulate the media, as well as divert any attention away from him while he conducts his Team Flare work. Malva doesn’t question his authority and she’s pretty much a ride or die. Nobody expected Kalos’s top reporter to be part of this nefarious group, which I suppose could be Lysandre’s doing as a way of showing thanks by protecting her reputation.

Him wanting to wipe the world clean from all of its impurities brewed inside of him for a long time. Initially, he really wanted to make people’s lives better with his humanitarian efforts but became tired and frustrated each time people complained that he wasn’t doing enough. Like, this man tried endlessly to provide a solution. The results continued to yield nothing and it sprouted the seeds of resentment and hate within Lysandre to pursue the nuclear option. To an extent, I see where Lysandre comes from. It sucks when people keeps pressuring you to do more, to give more of yourself to people, yet get little in return. However, it doesn’t negate the fact that Lysandre was willing to commit mass murder on people because they kept bitching at him for minor reasons. You can’t fault the man for being pissed, but still: Genocide ain’t it.

[cajunfoxnight]

Hi really interested in this reconstruct Au!! Do you have more information about the story?

Oh Anon.. I hope you are ready for the can of worms you have just opened 😬

I should warn you tho, I am not the best at telling a story, and im worse at explaining one. However I also want to share this AU as its been something ive been working on for 8+ years, and while it is mostly a self indulgent Monster AU, full of stereotypical troupes and cliches, its also very important to me. I made this AU when I was not in a good place mentally and was using it as a way to cope with and express the feelings I was having at the time. Its changed a lot and truth be told its actually 2 story lines that combine to become 1 down the line. But for the sake of this ask, I will focus on talking about the Reconstruct backstory.

Anyway if youre still interested in what the story is about, then please continue reading! I will do my best to try not to babble too much but.. its going to happen anyway 😅

TW: So I should probably start off with mentioning that this AU does contain emotional and physical abuse, manipulation, and mention of body mutilation. Not that im going to go into the details of that here but thats just me covering my own ass :v At the point the story is at now, Gladion is much older than he is in the games/manga/anime. His actual age isnt fully known as the theme with this AU deals with time and interdimensional travel, so its hard to keep track of, but he appears to be in his early 20s. But for all intents and purposes he is an adult.

✨The story ✨ So the Reconstruct AU is something of a "bad ending" storyline.

So this story follows that of the canon for the beginning. Mohn disappeared when he fell through an Ultra Space worm hole that was opened, and his whereabouts are unknown. Lusamine still went into her crazy and Ultra Beast obsessed self, only concerned with youth, beauty, and keeping things as under her control as much as she can. Gladion steals TYPE:NULL and Lillie taking Nebby and running away. Lillie going to live with Kukui and Gladion joining Team Skull as their enforcer.

In this timeline, Lusamine, in her desperate need to have control of everything around her, decides that she will create her "perfect world" where she will surround herself with all of the things that she loves. A place where everything will be kept exactly the way she wants them, preserved for all of time, and where she wont ever be alone again. However she knows that she can not do this on her own, but knows who can. Someone younger, stronger, and already has knowledge about the UBs and Aether. Now the hard part is getting him to join her, but she has a plan for that.

Lusamine gets in contact with Guzma (as in this story he still "works" for her) and with the help of some choice words, a good sob story, and probably a fat check, she's able to convince him that she has changed and she wants help from him to convince Gladion of these things as well. Being that he and Gladion are so close, and obviously he trusts him so much, it shouldnt be hard for him to talk some sense into him, right? She does an amazing job at getting Guzma on her side, having him think that Gladion is just being a bratty, rebellious, edgy teen. After all, he comes from some nice rich family, could have anything he wants, and yet still chose to ran away, how bad could it have possibly been? Does he even realize how bad some of these kids have it? How badly HE had it?? So generally he thinks that Gladion is just over reacting/being dramatic. He doesnt know how good he's had it, obviously!

Guzma sets up this whole "ambush". He has Gladion come back to the shady house, getting him inside and cornering him in his room, where he is confronted by Lusamine. She puts on this big show of being the sorry mother just wanting her son back, going on about how she's changed and she didnt mean to do all of those horrible things and so on and so on. All she wants is them to be a family again, like they used to be, is that really so much to ask for? Gladion is already seeing right through this, he knows all of this is bs, but he cant seem to get anyone on his side. After all, the members of Team Skull never really liked him anyway and were only going along with it bc Guzma said so. Now with Guzma against him, he has no real back up. He cant fight back and he cant even escape. Despite his stubborn nature, he still cant overcome the hold his mother has on him after all those years. She very much has him between a rock and a hard place. So not having any other option, he is forced to go back home with her.

Once back home, Gladion's life is turned upside down as Lusamine does everything she can to keep him on a short leash. All freedom that he had is now gone, and he is constantly watched and monitored, its suffocating. Much like before, he's told how to dress, how to act, what to eat and how much, he cant even so much as get near a computer or phone without someone questioning him. He cant even bring out any of his pokemon bc Lusamine has deemed most of them "too dangerous" to have out all under the pretense of doing it for his safety. The only pokemon he's able to have around him is his Umbreon, and even then, she's given a electric collar that keeps her within the property of the house, so no chance of her running off in the middle of the night or anything. While Lusamine insists that shes not keeping him there against his will, she assures him that he's allowed to leave whenever he'd like. Tho she also warns him that if he leaves, then Lillie will be taking his place. She will not be left with an empty nest. Truth be told Lillie probably would have been the easier choice between the two, she also knows that Gladion would do anything to keep her safe. So using her as leverage is how she keeps control over Gladion.

One day Lusamine casually brings up about the "Reconstruct Project" to Gladion (keeping its details very vague), mentioning its something he could help her with, as she thinks he would be interested, He shuts it down saying that he wants no part of whatever she's doing. Lusamine doesnt prese the issue, only expressing disappointment that he wont even consider her offer, but she wont force him. Rather she doesnt want to force him as she wants him to join her willingly. (Even if "willingly" means she'll force his hand) She needs him for this Project. Gladion may be stubborn, but she is so much worse.

After their initial conversation, things only got a lot worse. While he had few freedoms since all of this has started, those are gone now. He becomes cut off from his Pokemon, from the outside, he hardly has a moment of peace where he doesnt feel like he's being questioned or ordered to do something. He really is like a prisoner in his own home (well, a place he once called that). His sanity is being chipped away at, and it comes down to 2 options. -He can either join onto this Reconstruct project, whatever it is. Not knowing what fate could await him or what Lusamine as planned, but at least he'd have a chance at having some sense of a life back and limited freedom.. -Or he can live the rest of his life as Lusamine's puppet, having no freedom or will of his own (<-which is also another story of its own). His life will practically be on auto pilot, forever chained to Aether but never having a say in anything.

It takes some time but eventually Gladion does break, and asks to join the Reconstruct Project, even tho he still has no idea what it is, but anything is better than the life he is living now.

Lusamine is absolutely delighted by this news! And almost instantly, life then turns around for Gladion. He finally is given back some freedom, if not more than what he had before. He is able to move around his home without question. He gets to eat more and better than he did before, putting on some much needed muscle. He's even getting a chance to walk around outside and around the property without having some kind of chaperone. Lusamine even invites him to join her at Aether to over see some projects that they are working on as well as helping with pokemon there. She lets him join her in outings in town, taking him to eat and so on. She's essentially love bombing him, and he hesitantly accepts. All the while this is going on, he still does not know what this Reconstruct Project is bc he cant seem to find any information on it, like it almost doesnt even exist. Whenever he asks about it, Lusamine either skirts around the question or tells him that then only thing he should be concerned about is being in his best physical condition as possible. She assures him that it'll all be worth it, and shes going to give him what he's always wanted: To be stronger. But in order to that, he's going to need some "upgrades. None of this does well to ease any concerns or fears he has, but he's already gotten this far, and he doesnt want to risk going to how things were before so.. whatever it is, he's in it for better or worse. Gladion undergoes a very extensive surgery, with about 80% of his body being "Reconstructed" (hence the name) from the ground up. Its some time later that he wakes up from a induced coma and when he does the reality of what has happened to him is made clear. He is no longer human, or rather, not completely. His body a patch worked mess, a terrible jigsaw amalgamation of human and (shiny) Silvally. Lusamine delivered on her promise to make him stronger, even if she left out the finer details of it.. So that is the Reconstruct story line, or the start of it anyway. From here the story follows along with Gladion changing his name to "Reconstruct" as he has convinced himself that who he once was is no longer him. That part of him died long before it got to this point. His job is that of a glorified errand boy and protector of Aether. He mostly travels through Ultra Space and to different worlds/time to gather up UBs for Lusamine so that she can create her "perfect world". He travels through the worm holes with the aid of an altered Dusk Mane Solgaleo who has been fitted with pieces of Necrozma Armor, that acts a lot like NULL's inhibitor helmet. While its an odd life and something he would have never imagined for himself. He is still very much tied to Aether, at least in this way he has some sense of purpose and freedom. Tho in his time of traveling he has seen much, including other versions of himself (Gladion) living out lives that he knows he could never have, being with people that he cared about, knowing that he cant ever go back to how things were. He's very lonely, bitter, and jaded at the world and others. He's closed off, quick to anger, and untrusting of others. His only real reason to keep going despite everything thats happened is bc of Lillie, as knowing that at least this way he can still protect her. He is content enough to live the rest of his life like this. Even if he has to do it alone. Trying not to think about what might happened when he finishes his mission.. but, well, life certainly has a way of surprising you. And that is the story! I admit that I am going to be very surprised to know if anyone actually read all of this, but if you did please know you have my many thanks and my apologies 😅

Nihilego will always protect Lusamine from any attempts to separate them. Always. 

[princess-of-the-corner]

Important Context: Lusamine in Sun and Moon was canonically, in the text of the game itself, infected with alien neurotoxins that removed her inhibitions and amplified her character flaws.

Once they were flushed from her system, she immediately stopped verbally abusing her daughter, and Lillie even took her to Kanto to try and get medical treatment from fusing with Nihilego.

Lillie does not, at any point, decide to cut Lusamine out of her life. Indeed, the final battle against Lusamine is the result of Lillie chasing her into another dimension to rescue her.

Lusamine in the anime is a loving-yet-neglectful/absent parent who Lillie somewhat resents due to said mother disregarding Lillie's own desires and feelings even as she otherwise dotes on her, with the two often butting heads. As Lusamine is a protagonist instead of an antagonist, a good chunk of her arc is based around repairing her relationships with her children. While she's still obsessed with the Ultra Beasts, it's nowhere NEAR the extent of her in-game counterpart, not until she ends up getting abducted by and fused with Nihilego, and her womanchild tendencies are cranked up to a disturbing level.

In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Lusamine's abuse is FAR less severe, with her being more of an overprotective control freak than anything. with her being in opposition to the player because she believes she's good enough to defeat Necrozma. She's reimagined as a well-intentioned extremist who's trying to protect Alola from the game's ACTUAL main villain: Necrozma, with the conflict mostly boiling down to Lusamine being unwilling to admit that she's in over her head. The story is FAR weaker than Sun and Moon as a result.

Ah hm.

Yeah I think I like the original SM better. That sounds fascinating.

The anime kinda sounds like an AU where Lusamine gets some fucking help for the neurotoxins before the plot kicks off, but the plot still kicks off. So we're getting a post SM personality during the events of SM. (to compare, I'm kinda seeing this like what I did with Enji in the Amnesia!Dabi AU. He gets help earlier but the plot is still happening around him.)

USUM sounds like it just went off the rails.

Brief notes on Beast!Lusamine (as Sappy has lovingly labeled her):

Shares physical traits with Nihilego. (NOT the Mother Beast design though, that is an entirely different concept.)

Flexible glass carapace encasing her torso, It's incredibly durable, perhaps a step or two below bullet proof glass, but not easy to shatter. Similar exoskeleton on her limbs.

The same glass is already naturally occurring in her hair. (It's the shiny bits you see in her art!)

If injured, the glass shatters, but will gradually regenerate, similar to a slime mold.

Cerebrospinal fluid flowing through her spinal cord is full of the same neurotoxin found in Nihilego.

Sprouts tendrils identical to Nihilego's from all parts of her body, made from the same glassy material.

The tendrils that sprout from her spinal column have stingers at the end of them, capable of injecting neurotoxin into a target. Tendrils attached to any other part of the body cannot deliver the neurotoxin, but are still able to leave burns.

She is able to retract the tendrils at will, and prefers to keep them hidden.

Lusamine's connection with the Nihilego swarm allows her to communicate with them and call for aid when in distress.

Her beasthood abilities are still underdeveloped; Lusamine has kept this part of herself hidden for the majority of her life. She does whatever she can to keep it a secret, going as far as making witnesses of her true form disappear.

If she were to train and focus on growing stronger, she would develop more abilities in line with what Nihilego are capable of-- namely, the ability to cloak themselves with invisibility, altering human memories, and hijacking nervous systems.

She can use Poison Jab and Venoshock!

Like other Ultra Space denizens with strong genetic connections to their Ultra Beast ancestors, Lusamine is able to pass through the wormholes without suffering amnesia and the other effects that Fallers are left with.

Manifestation of the tendrils and stingers is agonizing and painful if done so by force-- either by cracking her carapace or pushing her into a defensive position where she has no other choice but to attack.

During her upbringing as a child at the hands of a pair of Silph Co. scientists, various experiments were done to force Lusamine to show her alien traits for the sake of research. This resulted in her disdain for being touched, her lack of trust in people, and her sense of isolation in the world. Countless lab assistants and researchers were fatally stung, which lead to Lusamine's caretakers assigning people to escort and supervise her in public, and at home, to prevent incidents outside of the lab.

This was also the very first documented case of a fatal encounter with an Ultra Beast.

You can, technically scan her with a Pokedex, but you cannot capture her. Scanning her results in logging a dex entry for Nihilego.

Can you use held items on her??? Maybe. She hasn't tried.

She is not just a Nihilego taking on a humanoid form; while UB-Symbiont is capable of disguising themselves as humans, and using illusions to appear as different creatures, this is not the case with Lusamine. The evolutionary tree of Ultra Beasts and Ultra Humans is not as divergent as the one that humans and Pokémon branch off from. (You know how humans irl can still have neanderthal DNA? Think of it like that. Except this is a much more dramatic and science fiction-y ordeal)

since you’re lusamine posting

was the term “mother beast” fan made this whole time? i feel like it is

despite being a proud Lusamine scholar, i STILL don't know the origin of that term for sure...

according to Bulbapedia, "MOTHERBEAST" is the internal code name for Lusamine's fused form in the games...but Bulbapedia also says that Mohn is Lusamine's wife right now so

Aether Escape

The Aether President had not been seen in the Aether Paradise for almost a week now. Her employees have been trying to find her everywhere, to no avail.

Suddenly, in the main lobby of the Aether Paradise, an Ultra wormhole seemed to appear out of nowhere. Could this be the answer as to where the President was?

open rp.
