#necrozma takeover arc

Precipice

Sa'risha was PISSED.

This stupid crystal monster grabs her out of nowhere. Then it controls her body. And on top of all of that it's erasing people from existence? Or planning to at least? No, fuck that. Necrozma is going down.

Necrozma was right there, still taking over Dialga's body. It seemed to be pouring all of its energy into the Ultra Wormhole that formed behind it. Probably fucking with the timeline of whatever's on the other side. "Hey, fucker." Necrozma looks down, seeing Sa'risha standing right there. So you've come back here. Why? "Sa'risha is here to kick your ass." And why is that? it practically growled into her mind, getting into an aggressive stance. "Don't play stupid, you damn know well why."

Necrozma huffed. So the connection was simply not only on my end. You were able to tap into my mind in turn. Then I assume you know why I am doing this? "Yep. This one does not care." Truly? How heartless are you? "Listen, khajiit does not give a SHIT about your sob story. Everyone does. You've managed to anger khajiit, and khajiit is a very spiteful person." So be it. I believe I know what you plan to do.

Necrozma roars. "Gugyugubassshhhh!" Sa'risha throws out Mina, who hisses back in turn. She burrows into the ground, which makes the ensuing Power Gem miss her. The Gliscor pops back up not a moment later, bashing into Necrozma with a Dig. But that gets her caught into the crosshairs of another Power Gem, fainting her immediately.

Sa'risha sends out Comet next. Comet gathers together electricity into his little body, and unleashes it into the most devastating Thunderbolt the Jolteon has managed thus far. Though this alone isn't enough to KO Necrozma, earning him a Psycho Cut in response.

Out comes Fuwa next. The Drifblim shrinks down with Minimize, making it so much harder for Necrozma to hit him, as proven by the missed Power Gem. Shadow Ball, another missed Power Gem. And another Shadow Ball, but this time, the ensuing Power Gem didn't miss.

The khajiit throws out Saponin next. Considering his slow speed, a Photon Geyser hits the Gastrodon first, but his bulk is considerably significant, allowing him to throw out a Mud Bomb before he's fainted with a quick Night Slash.

Sa'risha grits her teeth as she sends out Arvak next. The Rapidash is her second speediest Pokemon, so he manages to unleash a super effective Flare Blitz on Necrozma, bringing it down to its last legs. The recoil probably didn't matter that much, Power Gem would have made him faint regardless.

Finally, comes Aspen. The Torterra rears up and roars, a way to make sure this time, he doesn't faint. Necrozma's fins expanded, and he unleashed a mighty Roar of Time.

And yet, through sheer willpower and his affection for Sa'risha, he barely stood strong, no matter how much he wanted to cry.

With another roar, he stamps down his legs, unleashing an Earthquake that finally forces Necrozma to let go of Dialga.

Necrozma falls down to the ground, barely able to keep itself up. Dialga seems extremely angered by the first possession, already charging up a Roar of Time in its maw. Necrozma looks up, and suddenly, claws through the ground to open an Ultra Wormhole to which it disappears through, narrowly missing the move.

Dialga gives one look at Sa'risha, and then it opens a blue rift, disappearing into it.

"So. That's it," Sa'risha said. She pats Aspen on the head, making him rumble in affection. "Let's go home. This one is very tired from all that climbing."

Rex’s Unpopular Opinions About Canon Lusamine: A God Damn Novel

Rainbow Rocket Takeover did not need to happen at the Aether Foundation in USUM. It should had happened elsewhere in Alola. On top of USUM already being a heaping pile of garbage in terms of ruining Lusamine’s character, the fact that they WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY to completely declaw her, and turned her into a damsel in distress as all of these antagonists from “ultimate victory” arcs rolled up and TOOK OVER HER ENTIRE OPERATION— what a way to completely trash our first female antagonist and make her completely useless. You still cannot convince me that all of these egotistical, charismatic villains looked at each other, went went “we have the ultimate weapons and Pokémon at our disposal, we could do whatever we wanted, we have the best bases in our worlds, so let’s go and break into Lusamine’s house and use that as a super cool hideout instead.”

Lusamine did not need to be a sympathetic villain. I am so, so, so, over the need to make all villains misunderstood and sympathetic. Again, a crime of USUM. “She just wanted to save Alola that is why she was doing all of that shit in order to get to Ultra Space—“ what a stupid way to force the Necrozma plot into existence.

Everything to do with Mohn vanishing and going to bean island (I can’t remember what that place is called) was stupid. “Woman goes into hysterics and goes insane because husband vanished” I am so tired of everything having to do with a man.

The Nihilego venom is not why Lusamine was crazy. Again. “Oh she wasn’t actually bad she was just being effected by the neurotoxins from Nihilego.” I have seen this theory very often, and there is no indication at all, at any point in SuMo, that Lusamine had been making enough consistent contact with Nihilego in order to get poisoned and driven mad. She is just like that. And that is what makes her so unnerving.

Pokémon, why are you so against allowing your female antagonists to actually be antagonists? You did not try to redeem Ghetsis. You did not make Ghetsis sympathetic. In fact, you went out of your way to reinforce Ghetsis being a terrible person in the Rainbow Rocket story. You went out of your way to put in the Celebi scene with Giovanni and Silver in HGSS to make the man WORSE, and you didn’t even have to do that. For fuck’s sake, you allowed Magma Courtney to be a little psycho in ORAS! Why did you ruin Lusamine, I am no longer asking, I am demanding answers.

MOVING ON, here is a general blog-related headcanon that I have not shared yet:

Silvally can mimic human speech like a very sophisticated parrot! It is very uncanny and unusual sounding though; Silvally’s beak was designed specifically to be able to pierce through the bell of Nihilego in combat. Lusamine is aware that the natural predator of jellyfish-like creatures is the sea turtle, but Nihilego is made of glass, therefore the Skarmory and Braviary genetics were chosen for that super sharp, steel beak.

How does she stand this? I can’t fit comfortably into this bed.

A Mistake To Be Rectified

Sa'risha was laying down on her back, typing away on Discord. Her Pokemon had gone to sleep in their Pokeballs for the night. Despite assurances it might just be anxiety, it definitely didn't feel that way. Maybe that dream was getting to her. Maybe.

She dragged a hand down her face. Moons, she would love to get some anxiety medication immediately rather than waiting until the morning. Much less getting an Absol, right now this instance, to confirm if something is wrong.

The quiet pelting of the snow against the hotel window, in spite of her dread, eventually managed to soothe her to sleep.

-----------------------------------------------------------

A loud crack startled her awake. Sa'risha scrambled through her sheets, barely managing to turn on the lamp.

It was an Ultra Wormhole.

No no nononono, not here, why of all fucking places here? She's sick and tired of these fucking Ultra Beasts coming after her for no reason. Sa'risha reached for her PokeBalls. "Aspen, go!" A flash of light released the hulking Torterra. "Groowroroahhhh!"

From the Ultra Wormhole emerged something she least wanted to see. Necrozma. The exact same creature that dragged her into this world and gave her her scars on her sides. I promised you that I would come to see you in person, it projected into her mind. "Aspen, Wood Hammer!" Aspen swung its front foot at the Necrozma, but it caught its attack in it hand. It released a pillar of light that took out the Torterra in one shot, forcing Sa'risha to withdraw him. Tch. Of course you would be defiant. You're a terrible chosen, you know.

"She’s your- Unchoose khajiit. Right now. Sa'risha will not serve you. She refuses to serve anything but the twin moons." And yet you are out of the reach of your beloved moons, Necrozma responded, glaring at her. I am your god now. And your duty is to carry my will. Something you've been failing to do. It abruptly grabbed her shirt, lifting her out the bed. Its face was glowing threateningly.

You were supposed to hold on to the Adamant Orb until I came. You let your avarice get in your way, and now this mistake must be rectified.

Necrozma gripped on to Sa'risha tightly in both of its massive claws, and both of them started glowing. You will be shown what you were supposed to do. Then, you will help me fulfill my dream. Do not resist.

[lunarlatticethief]

okay.

sa'risha has had several panic attacks now. for varying reasons but most of them is because of necrozma.

she knows it hopes to erase the people that hurt it from the timeline. which sa'risha is not as concerned about as she is getting revenge. but this one figures that will endear you all to her cause. she is going to prepare to fight necrozma.

[lunarlatticethief]

she’s.

she’s back in eterna city.

bed.

sa’risha. is so exhausted. and having trouble breathing. fuck.

Dream Within Reach

Necrozma scaled Mt. Coronet, using its massive claws to hook into the jagged services. Normally it would just wormhole there, but it had decided to take the scenic route. If all goes well, this will be the final time they will be in their agonizing weaker form.

Before it knew it, it saw the top of the jagged pillars piercing into the sky, the namesake of Spear Pillar. It took out the Adamant Orb, holding it up into the sky. "Dialga, hear my call," it spoke in its host voice, sounding so much like Sa'risha and yet so off. More formal. More ancient. "I demand that you show yourself to me." Silence. "Or would you rather I destroy one of your manifestations of your power?" At first, the silence stretched on. And then a bright blue rift opened, and out stepped Dialga. It was imposing, towering over Necrozma, and yet it did not flinch.

"Dialga, I request that you alter the history of my world," Necrozma demanded. "Make it so I was never tricked and injured by the people I trusted so much." "Grr..." Dialga rumbled. And then it chuffed, turning around to return to the rift. "So be it. I gave you a choice to do this the easy way."

Necrozma felt Sa'risha hit the floor as it restored itself to its weakened form. But the agonizing pain was just motivation as it lashed out at Dialga. It won't live like this. It CAN'T live like this. And even weakened, it was formidable.

Dialga fired off a Roar of Time, a fatal mistake that Necrozma recognized. While it recharged, Necrozma pinned it down, slowly feeding on time energy. It won't satisfy its hunger, but it can go hungry for just a bit longer. Just a bit more.

And then it won't suffer anymore.

Necrozma, in its new form, looked down at Sa'risha. She was struggling to stay awake. Necrozma didn't blame her, no matter how much it hated how rebellious she is. Mortals don't typically survive a Necrozma taking them as a host by feeding on their life energy, it's only through her almost supernatural luck and chosen status she was able to be a viable host.

Necrozma opened an Ultra Wormhole under her, taking her back to her home under construction. Let her rest. It will do the rest by itself now.

[lunarlatticethief]

Sa'risha's Torterra is begging me to let her go. In a while. I am not done with her yet. There is yet one more thing to do.

Prize Reclaimed

It was a nice quiet day. Johnson polished the Adamant Orb that he purchased. Sure, dealing with thieves is, unsavory? But well, a collector's gotta do what he can to grow his collection.

His thoughts were interrupted by glass shattering, a large crystalline hand has broken it. A cat-like human covered in black armor peers through, looking around before seeing the Adamant Orb, and then meeting Johnson's eyes. Give me the orb, it telepathically commanded it a layered deep masculine voice and accented feminine voice. "No!" Johnson yelled, recoiling with a protective hold over the orb. "I got this fair and square! You can't have you... you weird crystal glowy monster thing!" So be it. I will take it by force.

The strange monster pounced on the man, holding down the man with its massive hands while it pried the Adamant Orb out his grip with the smaller set of arms. And just as quickly as it came, it left, leaving Johnson shaky and bewildered.

[lunarlatticethief]

Found where he is. It’s time to take back my prize.

[lunarlatticethief]

The Internet is… tricky to deal with. I have to rely on digging through Sa’risha’s memories.
