Anette had just finished cleaning up the deep purple stains on her face and hands when she heard a raspy, harsh voice from behind her.

"Well, sorry your little 'project' didn't pan out the way you wanted." Cypres had somehow made their way into the captains quarters without Anette noticing, but that was nothing new. If anything, it was a comfort for at least that familiarity to remain.

"Well, what is done's done." Anette inspected her fins closely, looking for any remaining stains against her deep grey scales, shimmering under the fluorescent light. "Besides, the Condence's weapon spinestabbing those revolutionaries is so satisfying that nothing could cull my mood. It's about time Serdia learned his fucking place. He always thought he was so smart...." She picked at a stain, scratching gently with one chitonous claw to wear it away.

"Oh, sure, sure, but i doubt the sopor tasted any good. It seemed like he was made more of the stuff than anything else." Cypres shifted, dangling their head off of the chair and kicking their legs in the air as they watched Anette with disinterest.

"I have consumed enough secondhand sopor slime for even the Condense's lifetime, that is for sure. But I-"

"Hate to waste good meat" Cypres said in unison with Anette. Seadwellers are nothing if not predictable. Maybe it was the longer lifespan- to do the same thing for sweeps and sweeps on end, twice or three times as long as Cypres could even dream of living, even if they survived conscription. Maybe it's the stuffy nature of being that high up in the hemospectrum. Really, who's to say? Either way this officially should net Cypres as Anette's number one companion- maybe they'll even fill a quadrant. Terrors know she's too ambitious to stay that close to another highblood for long before trying to do something. Better to stay nice and safe as a midblood. Nobody pokes too much because you're just high enough to not be an easy target, but anyone truly dangerous is already above your pay grade already.

"So, now what? Your nemesis is gone and left a power vacuum, you've lost your project.... it's not like you're short on options." Cypres inspected their claws as if that was the most important thing in the world, attempting to hide their interest in her next move.

"Who is to say?" She fixes Cypres with an intense gaze that made them shift with discomfort, as if she was trying to pry out why a midblood who is so otherwise unconcerned with what her ship does would care. "I've enough options, but I've time to decide, too. I am in no rush, after all." That wasn't entirely true, but Anette didn't think that a fucking midblood deserved to know the finer details anyways. That's how your information gets 'found' by every other captain in the sector and with the Condense's mood in the wake of everything, well.... no need to stir the pot with infighting if it could be helped.

Ok so Ara and my version of Akari would be far too powerful as friends, so I cannot have them together or else they'd have swept through the game so quickly it wouldn't even be funny. Together, they'd probably cut the time it takes to complete the Pokédex in half. Anyways in Akari's au/continuation arc, she does actually meet Ara's ancestors and I want to put a whole little cast here

Akari: created by Arceus as a copy of Dawn. Due to their drastically different environments, Akari became a lot more forceful than Dawn is the only word I can think of right now. Tracking down Volo with a vengeance and also a desire to save the world. Her Pokemon are Typhlosion, Decidueye, Samurott, Wyrdeer, Goodra, and an alpha Sneasler

Professor Cypress: A professor from Paldea studying the Pokemon of the Unova region. She was inspired by Akari and Laventon's work on the Hisuian Pokedex to create one of her own. Journeys with Akari and the others because she wants to help save the world and study Pokemon along the way.

Benjamin: Ara's ancestor! :D He has the same purple hair and blue eyes as our favorite gal <3 He's also the sheriff of Castelia Town, and one of the few Pokemon users in Unova. His partners are Tim the Watchog and Zeebo the Zebstrika. (My friend named Zeebo.) Also, once the whole saving the world fiasco is over, he's going to finally marry his fiance, Charlotte

Kazuo: A merchant of the Gingko Guild who accidentally stumbled along on this whole saving the world adventure. Honestly I don't know what he's doing there. He was the one who initially informed Akari that Volo was going to Unova but other than that he's kinda just filling out the team

Gem: Kazuo's adopted daughter! Also an Ultra Faller just cause. We don't exactly know what world she's from because a) nobody knows what an Ultra Caller is b) she has amnesia and c) she is mute. They kinda just found her in the middle of a forest fire one day and Kazuo decided to adopt her. She might be the origin of ten-year-olds who go on world-saving adventures, and does have one Pokemon at the time: a Happiny! Who does evolve over the course of the journey. Honestly, Gem might become a pretty strong battler one day but idk. Can you tell I don't think my oc plotlines all the way through.

Anyways they all go on a funny little road trip across unova to stop Volo from using the power of the legendary dragons to end the world again. Benjamin WILL arrest him and the epilogue would probably be the wedding
