let a man live a little

[rozetheeuwu]

Yeah

[nommyzommy]

I've finally caught the time to explain some for Reborn: Rainbow! So let's gooooo!!!!!! (Yayyyyy, I'm getting to talk about some of our original stuff!!!)

As explained by @flowerveil02 in an ask recently, Reborn: Rainbow is a special AU of Pokémon Reborn that combines elements of both the Zekrom/Black and Reshiram/White routes! (So obvious spoilers ahead!!! Those will be under the cut, though.)

First, let's introduce our protags!

Ever After Cozmyx

25y/o, They/He/She/Zi

Ever ( @flowerveil02 's OC) acts as the main protag. They're incredibly valiant and competitive with a huge compassion for everyone. They hail from Tandor (Pokemon Uranium) along with the rest of the protags. While she's normally a logical thinker, she does think with her heart a lot. They're super friendly and mothering to all of their peers. Along with Sable and August, he busts his ass to protect the region and sometimes becomes absorbed in these responsibilities, also helping out a whole bunch with Reborn City. Above all, they're the best friend you could wish for!

Sable Morgan Umbra Cozmyx

23 y/o, She/Her

Sable (my OC) is Ever's sister by adoption. She's a reckless goofball often driven by her emotions. Casually, she's a go-with-the-flow kinda person with a huge sense of humor, but when she's started, she goes OFF. She deeply cares for those who can't defend themselves and often sees a younger version of herself reflected in them. She's the douchey bigger brother friend with dumb dog energy.

August Asterian

22 y/o, He/They

August ( @flowerveil02 's OC) is Ever's cousin. He's a daydreaming romantic who believes in the good in everything. As a lover, they never pick fights and will always choose pacifism and redemption. He's a really mellow guy with a huge, soft heart in pursuit of happiness. They prefer to hang loose, although they're courageous and brave in the face of danger.

SPOILERS FOR GAME LORE BELOW!

Below the cut is story-building, so spoilers for game lore!!! None of this is set in stone, and we're going to be updating the AU frequently.

This is gonna be really long, so buckle up and enjoy the ride!

Reborn: Rainbow is set in the in a different timeline than the main game. The timeline reset never occurs in this universe because our protag, Ever, survives the train bombing the first time. This means that differences caused directly or indirectly by the timeline reset aren't relevant or never occurred. So Anna/Fantasia never makes a wish on Jirachi, Fern doesn't join Team Meteor, Shade remains as Euphie, and Zina isn't sealed away in Byxbision with Giratina, among other changes. This also affects smaller things, like Miss Direction's reading!

Team Meteor has received quite the overhaul as well. The group has a coverup operation called the True Believers. This operation poses as a charitable religious organization in order to lure unsuspecting individuals into joining Team Meteor. It's how many of the younger members wound up joining, either that way or by proxy.

As I've said in an earlier post, the New World is interpreted as a mysterious dimension called the Idyll of Spiritism. It's responsible for a lot of the strange occurrences in the story, along with acting as an alternative reality that the protags and many more must explore to complete their journies. The Idyll can be accessed in Citae Astrae behind a door called the Quartz Door. Like the other sacred doors, it requires a key to open, being the Quartz Key. Instead of being four keys (Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, and Amethyst), there are five, the Quartz Key being the only key that Phoenix was able to keep through the years. While the Idyll can be temporarily accessed by opening the Quartz Door, its power is contained within, and opening it requires great sacrifices...

Instead of Radomus stealing the Crystal Keys, fashioning them into jewelry, and selling them, the Keys were lost in a very different way. August's mother, which we'll call Lucille after the Pokémon Uranium protag's mom, stole them. She grew up around Pheonix and witnessed Taube and his wife's deaths, so she understood the power of the Keys (she was born in Reborn, not Tandor. August's father, Kellyn, is Tandoran, however).

When August was young, she joined the True Believers while overseas and climbed through the ranks until she was trusted with the Crystal Keys. She then took all five keys to Citae Astrae and opened the Quartz Door. However, this requires sacrifice, so Lucille was spirited away into the Idyll of Spiritism, only leaving behind the Quartz key. Lucille and all four Crystal Keys were spat out of the Idyll and back into reality, leaving Lucille with severe amnesia and trapping a piece of her energy within the Idyll, cursing her. The Crystal Keys were scattered around the Reborn Region, where their eventual owners picked them up and had them fashioned into jewelry individually. Lucille returned to her family in Tandor and hid in fear of Phoenix finding her.

Ever, Sable, and August are some of the only people from the "regular" dimension that can visit the Idyll, although they must first be alseep/unconscious. This is due to a curse that was cast upon them by Solaris/Phoenix when they were young. This happened when Phoenix found out that Lucille's family had come to visit Reborn a couple of years after she stole the Crystal Keys. He wanted to punish Lucille for her betrayal and lured the young trio down into 7th Street and then the Subseven Sanctum, where he attempted to lock them up, resulting in a curse that gave Ever and her family supernatural abilities. The kids escaped, and their families swore never to come back to Reborn.

...That is until Ever decided to go back and find out what had happened all those years ago! Present day, Ever, August, and Sable have returned to Reborn to discover the truth behind what happened when they were young (and get dragged into some crazy predicaments while they're there)!

I think that's it for now! More info on certain characters and their backstories coming soon, so keep your eyes peeled!

[marketable-puckshie]

Uhhh quick doodle of Harley and Phoenix being cute-

[pokefangamebrainrot]

do you have more interesting headcanons for Solaris?

always

Solaris Alcantara Headcanons

-much like elias, he didn’t genuinely love taka’s mother. she was a convenience more than anything, and passed when taka was very young

-he does actually live in the reshiram route. the team meteor agent helps revive him, though it doesn’t mean his body is okay moving forward

-in the reshiram route post game, he’s placed under strict house arrest by adrienn (hence why we never see him). xe knew he’d probably be killed in prison so this was the best option.

-since they couldn’t use the sanctum, solaris is placed in a house somewhere off of ametrine city. there’s no way he can escape because of the harsh mountain conditions

-elias lives with him there. the two may not really like each other sometimes, but they definitely love each other… in their own strange way

ok back to headcanons which which could actually be reasonably plausible lol

-solaris was a little like terra in his youth (not as bad obviously). he would pick up slang from his adventures into the city and torment elias with it

-he adored his name. it was painful to get rid of it, and it represented him killing the man he once was

-he was very selfless in his youth and idolised his father, wanting to be just like him

-one of the only things he has left of his father is taube’s old guitar. he learned to play it in the post game

-he regrets what he did with team meteor, but only so far as letting lin join. he still wishes they had succeeded in bringing back the old world

-in the post game, he takes back the name phoenix. solaris is dead. and phoenix will rise once again from the ashes

i hope you liked these!! sorry for the repeated tangents i just want him to have a happy ending-

thanks for the ask!

Day 2. Crystal

Aeris has been going around these crystal caves for far too long, with every single turn they took leading them back to the big cavern. The verticality, one might say, of the main cavern of these caves didn't help either, with slopes being too steep to get back up once you went down. Maybe whoever put the Grand Staircase above this cavern knew what they were doing, saving everyone from needing to backtrack a thousand times just because they went the wrong way once again.

Aeris could appreciate the beauty of this place, with light refracting from every single crystal it touched, but they were starting to get annoyed from going in circles, even though that annoyance was mostly directed at themself. So when they finally found a path that looked new, with a ladder that they were sure to be one they haven't touched before, they released a sigh of relief. Finally, some progress, they thought to themself, certain that if they'd been stuck in this loop for any longer they would've left just out of frustration of this being a wild goose chase. It might still be one, but now with a new branch of the cave to explore - and they would take something rather than nothing.

As Aeris climbed down, they've noticed that the amount of crystals around had decreased significantly, with the place becoming much darker as well. They were almost concerned, with following through much more carefully, until the tunnel they were in once again started to have some crystals in its walls - this time, however, they were different. They looked like the walls themself were covered in countless cracks, with crystals inside emitting pulsating light, which sometimes disappeared for a few seconds just to shine anew right after.

Aeris was feeling somewhat unsettled about this whole place, with an almost claustrophobic feeling of air being sucked out of their lungs, even if they were never afraid of caves before. They felt as if they've arrived here too early, as if they needed something else before making their trek here, even though they didn't even know what "here" was.

As the tunnel continued onward, it opened into a larger cavern, which, just like the tunnels, Aeris realized, looked man-made. That was not something that they've expected, and just the look at that chamber made their stomach churn. They weren't supposed to be here, they wanted to run and never return here again, but they had to proceed: they felt like they've finally stumbled onto something important.

After reaching the entrance to this chamber Aeris was entranced with hundreds of glimmering crystals covering the walls and ceiling of this place, as well as a door which looked like it was cut from solid stone, which also featured a symbol that they've noticed to be quite prevalent around the city - the cross with each of the arms being different color, even though colors are always the same - purple, green, red and blue.

But there was one more thing in this chamber that attracted their attention the most out of everything else, although it wasn't really a thing - it was a person. A tall man wearing long brown coat, and Aeris could've sworn they've seen him before - but they couldn't quite recall where.

The man didn't give them any time to think, and his voice almost startled Aeris, as he hasn't turned towards them, staring intently to the doorway in front of him.

"Greetings, Trainer. Tell me something. Did you, as a citizen of this city, have any inkling of this place beneath us?" His voice, cold and confident, spread across the room as a gust of mountain wind, making Aeris shiver. They were stunned, unable to answer even if they wanted to. After all, they weren't a citizen of this city, they've arrived here not that long ago - and yet, they still felt like this man shouldn't be corrected. There was an aura of power around him, the aura of a man who has nothing to lose.

"I suspect not. After all, most people don't. They are ignorant to the centuries of history right beneath their calloused feet. And do you know, Trainer, what is beyond that gate?"

This mere question has sent shivers down Aeris' spine, because the feeling of something existing beyond that door, even if obvious, was completely ethereal to them. They didn't want to know what was behind it, and they hoped that they never would find out, yet something was telling them that that wasn't something the destiny would allow them to miss.

"I will tell you. It is the very core of Reborn. This is a sacred place, a place from where the world begun."

No. This couldn't be it. Aeris now understood why they've felt so uncomfortable here - but they didn't quite understand why they were so unsettled by the proximity to what they realized was a birthplace of Arceus. They felt their entire being shiver, their mind telling them to run, their sight pulsating in tandem with crystals covering the walls. They felt like they were on the verge of what they could just assume was a panic attack, yet they couldn't move, frozen in place, unable to run.

And then Solaris turned to them, his cold stare piercing straight through them, filled with hatred directed not to them, but to the entirety of the city above. Yet, somehow, it distracted Aeris from their own thoughts, helped them keep themself together and not shatter to pieces just from the prospect of being close to this place. His stare helped to remind them of their own humanity, to push back their instinct to run away. He was only human, and so were they.

"So tell me, Trainer, how insolent, how utterly ignorant, must one be to build such a wretched city right over a precious holy land? For that is Reborn: the city of insolence. Ironically, the build it from the symbols of that which it occludes." - His gaze turned back towards the gateway, towards the symbol that could be seen all over the city. They forgot their own history, yet kept one of its significant symbols, without any memory of what it was supposed to represent. They buried it all, and yet made it again right above as a crude parody to what came before. Aeris could understand his anger, yet they couldn't agree with his methods - they've realized who he must've been, and the suffering he has caused, the deaths that happened because of his actions, couldn't be redeemed even by justified anger.

"Ruby, the seal of pain." The red arm of the cross caught a glimpse of light from one of the pulsating crystals, causing it to light up for a second, and Aeris' thoughts instantly went to the Ring that Heather had. It... it could be a coincidence, but Aeris doubted that. They felt that they have made a right conclusion, and weren't about to doubt themself on this.

"Sapphire, the seal of love, Emerald, the seal of faith and Amethyst, the seal of the beyond. Each one is a key." Key. Of course. And Corey was certainly very concerned with Heather's Ring being protected. Could it be?..

"When the four keys are brought together, Reborn's true power - its sacred rite - will be restored. We will be rid of this malignant junkyard and beauty can be restored to the world."

"Will it be worth it?"

"What?"

"Will all the deaths and destruction caused by your attempts at reaching your goal be worth it in the end? Will ends justify the means?" Aeris met his gaze with one of their own, finally being able to move, to talk, to respond to what he had to say. They allowed him to talk, but he couldn't have expected to escape without them responding.

"Their lives were predetermined long ago, as were their deaths. They are all just means to destiny's end, and this sacred place is worth more than all lives in this wretched city combined. Those who survive will be lucky to see it rebuilt, and will be purified in the released light. Those who fall are better being dead than scuttling about in this insolent city and indulging in its endless sins."

His voice was cold as ice, his stare was even colder, and Aeris understood that he meant every word he said. He didn't care about any lives lost as long as he accomplished his goals. What could ever cause a person to be as devoid of compassion as him?

He went across the chamber, towards the way Aeris came through, yet stopped right before leaving it.

"You will walk away safely. Your friend will, too. She is here, and with Borealis gone, there's little point in keeping her. Do as you will to the fool guards who keep her."

Aeris shuddered at the mention of Corey's alias. They felt guilty for his death, for not being able to do anything to stop it from happening... They knew it wasn't their fault, but they couldn't help but blame themself for it.

"I have but one request: when you leave, take this place with you. Share this place with the world. Remind them: this world which they have undone will, itself, be their undoing."

With these word this man disappeared into the darkness, and Aeris was left alone, in a chamber sparkling with pulsating crystals, left one on one with the doorway separating them from their destiny.

They should better check on whoever this "friend" he mentioned was, though. Would be better than trying to find answers in the crystal-encrusted walls anyway.

“It’s me! Heh, I suppose you wouldn’t recognize me?”

The magician frowned and looked down confused at the trainer who smiled at them. The trainer seemed very excited to see them much to the dismay of their green-haired companion.

They had no idea who this stranger was, clearly they had met because he knew their name before they were able to introduce themselves. They also didn’t know anyone with his name, Ordell according the the shorter trainer next to him.

They looked the trainer up and down. The black hair and the strong build weren’t something they remember seeing in anyone they knew, yet his ruby red eyes were familiar. They were the same color as their friend and coworker Divers. Now that they think about it, he looks a lot like the bishop. 

Their eyes widened as they made a realization.

“...Sunshine is that you?!” They gripped the rails of the platform they were on tightly, the boy grinned and nodded. The Meteor gasped and finally returned the trainer’s smile with the same excitement.

“Nice to see you again, Ace! I uh, went through a few chances as you can see, hehe!” The trainer joked. Of course they weren’t able to recognize him. The last time they saw him he was a scrawny looking teen girl, now he’s a buff looking young man. 

“Look at you!” Ace exclaimed “You’ve grown so much Sunshine!” He had changed a lot it seems, and not just his appearance. Before Ordell had fled the region he was angry, insecure, distant and on guard constantly, now he seems more relaxed, happy and social.

“Thanks! You look great as always!” The ex-bishop said with a wink earning a small laugh from Ace. 

They hadn’t seen him in around 8 years. He ran away leaving his twin and uncle, Elias,  heartbroken and in disarray. Ordell’s father, Hiram, was upset as well but seemed to had expected it.

There is so much Ace wanted to ask Ordell, wanted to tell him, unfortunately they simply didn’t have the time to do so. They were on a mission after all.

And Ordell was there to put a stop to that mission.

—

“No way… [Deadname]?”

Ordell cringed as he turned to the voice, there he was, his old ‘friend’. “Taka.” Ordell Greeted as he walked towards him with a frown, he made brief eye contact with the person standing next to his ex-master. 

Divers, his twin who he abandoned. He felt his stomach turn as Divers glared at him with a disappointed look. He turned to Taka again as he stopped in front of the taller man. “It’s Ordell now, by the way.”

“Right…” Taka smiled at him awkwardly, the man knew about Ordell’s contempt for him. He knows how much Ordell hated being a servant and live the way his family decided for him. How much Ordell fought back against it and eventually ran away from.

Yet, that is what made the admin admire his ex-servant so much. The bravery to fight back, the bravery to leave.

Taka knew he could never do either of those things.

“I like your name, it fits.” Taka started, " It's good to see you again, how have you been?” leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets. The trainer shrugged “Just kind of chilling really.” Ordell said, completely forgetting the entire plant situation that was going on outside.

“Hmm… Well you look like you’re doing better, so that’s good.” He looked over at Divers who stuck to his side like glue despite begging them to give him space. “So, I’m sure you two have a lot to talk about.”

Ordell silently gulped, he was afraid of this reunion. His twin glared at him a bit longer which sent a chill down his spine. “...” Divers then smiled at him, a familiar warm smile “I knew you couldn’t stay away, you always were dependent on your big sibling.”

Ordell blinked in surprise before letting out a laugh. “Two hours! You're only two hours older !” Divers pinched their brother’s cheek “But you certainly act like you’re younger.” the older twin teased.

Ordell felt relieved, he was worried Divers would despise him after he ran away. Although it’s clear there is some disappointment and annoyance here he’s glad Divers still seems to be happy to see their twin.

A small earthquake brought them back to reality. “Right… Well I suppose this is all your doing?” Ordell asked while his arms were crossed. Taka and Divers looked at each other and then back at Ordell “What do you think?” Divers asked. The trainer sighed and ran a hand through his hair “Well… I’m gonna be honest, you both understand I’m not here to help you guys out, right?”

Divers looked down at their feet while Taka smiled at him and said “Honestly, would be disappointed if you were.” Ordell huffed but smiled at him “Good.” He then looked seriously at him “Right now I’m happily having a conversation with you, but next time we might be at odds with each other, do you understand?”

Taka nodded, Divers didn’t say or do anything. “Good… Now before I go… How are Zero and Father?” Divers huffed “Don’t pretend you care about your father.” Ordell frowned and looked at Taka “Hiram is fine, he misses you of course.” He explained “As for Zero… Well… Something happened, but…” Ordell’s eyes widened in worry “... He’s here on this mission as well, you’ll understand when you see him.” Taka finished, Ordell frowned but nodded. “...How about uncle and Luk-” “Na. Luna.” Taka interrupted. Ordell raised an eyebrow, the gears in his head slowly turning before realizing “Oh! I see… Well how are they?”

Ordell nodded “Good to know… Well, I uh, should get going. See ya, I guess.” 

“Uncle is disappointed in you, as am I.” Divers explained, Ordell sighed “No surprise there.” Taka continued “But he does miss you, even if he wouldn’t admit it.” Ordell had a faith smile on his face. “As for Luna, much like you she strayed from the light and ran away.” Divers explained, Ordell’s eyes widened “Really…? Luna did…?” Taka nodded “If you meet her on your journey, you might find she’s a bit… Uh-” “Delusional?” Divers interrupted, “...Yeah sure, but it’s because of me she’s like that.” Taka said in defense of her. Divers shook their heads “She shouldn’t have faltered at your command. She should’ve stayed as it’s her duty.”

Both Taka and Ordell sighed, Ordell then asked one last thing “I’ve already met up with Ace… How’s Blake? Oh and your dad I guess.” He asked. Taka answered “Chillin. Er- Pun not intended." Ordell snorted “My dad’s- Well he’s still the same so, you know.” 

“See ya around, Ordell.” Taka said.

“...Thank you for saying goodbye this time.” Ordell flinched “...Sorry.” The younger twin turned to leave, but Taka stopped him “Here, for on the road.” He handed Ordell a few potions, pokeballs and a premier ball.

“...Thank you.” With that, the crusader left.

“Zero!”

The black cloaked rogue turned away from the Pulse powered Tangrowth to the person calling out his name with a glare.

Suddenly he froze.

Despite being gone for 8 years and going through a lot of changes he recognized his brother instantly. “...[Deadname]?”

Ordell smiled softly at him despite the horrors happening around him “Hey Zero… How have you been?”

“Who’s [Deadname]?” Zero asked, causing Ordell to look confused. “...Right, if I recall that would be agent Mekbuda. agent Mebsuta’s twin sister- Or brother now by the looks of it. Sibling?” Zero said, answering his own question. “...Zero? What’s the matter-”

“Oh- Is that why he’s uh, so quiet that we can’t hear him?” Zero said, his voice softer than Ordell’s ever heard his voice be.

Ordell looked with a worried frown at his brother. “Oh, right he doesn’t know… Uhm, I’m Lumi!”

“It seems so, he must be surprised by Mekbuda’s return… As is Mekbuda by the looks of it…” his voice was more confident but he sounded more calculated than usual.

Ordell walked closer, but didn’t say anything. “I’m Eve, together with your brother we are ZEL.”

Ordell, still confused, stopped in front of what he thinks is his brother. He looked softly at them.

“...Zero-”

Suddenly his brother reached out and gripped his see through shirt pulling him closer.

“...He’s back.” Eve said, although it were her words coming out of his mouth his expression was 100% his. He was glaring at him and his eyes were filled with anger.

“I told you not to come back!” Zero exclaimed, gripping the shirt tighter. “You have some nerve coming back here after abandoning us!”

Ordell looked devastated “Zero please-” “No!” His older brother interrupted “You don’t know how hard things have been after you left! You can’t just come crawling back after all that! You-”

Ordell reached up and cupped his brother’s face causing the other to freeze up. After what felt like forever their expression softened, then a shaky sigh was let out as the hold on Ordell was released.

“What happened to you…?” Ordell asked, the tone of voice changed signaling Ordell someone else was talking. “Much like the pulse- the machine behind me I created the Pulse Magnezone. There was an accident involving me, my little sister Lumi and your brother Zero causing our minds to fuse into one.” 

Ordell listened as he looked at the Tangrowth behind them, the pokemon looked like it was suffering.

“Your minds… Fused? So it’s not just my brother in there?” Ordell asked, they nodded. “And… The Pulse behind you is what’s causing all these plants to attack the city?” Another nod.

“Eve built it all by herself!” The tone changed again. “...You’re… Lumi then?” Another nod, as well as a small smile “Nice to meet you! What’s your name?” 

The trainer smiled back “Ordell, nice to meet you too.” He greeted, voice shaken up. “Lumi, I know you’re just trying to be polite, but this isn’t the time…” Eve said, “Oh, sorry.”

This was Zero, Ordell knew it.

They moved again, their gaze went to the ground and they held their left arm with their right hand.

“...You’re not back here to join us, are you?” He asked. Ordell shook his head “I came to stop whatever it is you guys are doing…” Zero looked at him, heartbroken “I figured you’d say that… Then you know I have to stop you, right?”

Ordell nodded.

No other words were spoken as a battle commenced. 

After the battle ended the plants started to disappear and everything slowly started to turn back normal.

“...” Zel said nothing as they were ready to run off, only to be stopped by Ordell who grabbed them by the arm “Zero-” 

They were pulled into a tight hug, causing their eyes to widen in surprise.

“I’m sorry…” Ordell whispered “I’m sorry for leaving… And I’m sorry for whatever is gonna happen to us after this…”

His voice was soft like Zero remembered it, it was also filled with regret and sadness.

Zero let out a sigh and slowly hugged back. “I know…” He whispered back “I’m sorry too.” 

Eve and Lumi stayed quiet, Zero could barely even hear them in his head.

They pulled away and Zero gave a soft kiss on his little brother’s forehead. “Bye Ordell…” There was more he wanted to say, but he didn’t. 

He turned and ran off, leaving Ordell behind as he watched his older sibling run off.

“...That was a nice hug… It made me feel all warm and safe…”

“I know Lumi…” Zero said as he held himself “I know.”

—

Ordell traversed through the Rhodochrine Jungle. He had defeated Taka and freed two of the officers that went missing. 

“Pika pi…” the Pikachu on top of his head mumbled “I know Pineapple, I know.” Ordell answered.

He stopped in his tracks as he saw some team Meteor members sitting around a campfire ahead. “Shit…” he mumbled to himself as he hid in the tall grass. 

He had to get passed them without getting caught, easy enough.

That’s what he told himself as he snuck through the grass, only to step on a branch causing the grunts to look over at his direction. “Shit…”

“C-Circinus, sir?!” 

Ordell’s eyes widened, he noticed the grunts looking slightly away from him. His gaze followed and his eyes widened as he saw a familiar man.

Hiram Hazel, his father.

“Greetings.” His father started, he walked a bit closer to Ordell and stood in front of his covering him from the grunt’s sight. “H-hello sir, why are you here?” One of the grunts asked. “I’ve been told my-...” Hiram trailed off “...There’s someone here that I wish to talk to, that’s all. Is everything going alright?” 

“Of course! Haha!” The grunts then looked at each other and scrambled to get up “Uh we weren’t slacking!” 

Hiram let out a soft chuckle “Do not worry, everyone needs a break every now and then.” He then looked around a little “Have you seen anyone suspicious walking around?”

“Yeah, some purple haired kid but we caught him and threw him in one of those Nuzleaf cages!” One of the grunts explained.

“Cain!”  Ordell thought to himself. “I see, well good work then. Stay on guard and don’t let anyone else catch you slacking.” Hiram said with a wink. “R-Right! Let’s go guys…” The grunts then scattered.

“...You can come out now.” Hiram said as he walked to the spot the grunts were resting and sat down.

“...” Ordell got up, his Pikachu’s ears droopy with worry. “Come.” Hiram said as he motioned over at a log “Sit down.” 

Without saying anything Ordell walked over and sat across from his father, they finally looked each other in the eyes. Hiram smiled warmly at his son, “Ordell, it brings me great joy to see you again.”

Ordell’s gaze drifted off “Yeah… I’m happy to see you too.” Although he meant it his voice had some bitterness to it, but Hiram understood and payed it no mind “How have you been? It couldn’t have been easy living alone as a teen…” He asked worried. Ordell shrugged “Someone took me in, he’s been like a father to me.”

“...Good.” He sighed with relief “I’m glad you weren’t all alone.” After hearing that Ordell looked at his father again “I- I don’t hate you!” Ordell explained “I just- I couldn’t stay here…”

Hiram stared at him surprised for a moment before smiling again “I know my love, I’m not disappointed nor do I harbor any resentment.”

Ordell felt guilty “I love you, and I love my siblings and Luna and Uncle- I don’t want to hurt you or work against you but-” He bit his lip and he fiddled with his hands, his Pikachu rubbing its face against trainer to calm him down a bit. “Father please…! You’ve got to stop this madness!” Ordell exclaimed as he stood up, he looked pleadingly at his father. 

The first physical contact in 8 years, a tight and reassuring grip. “I understand if you cannot take this path and wish to stop us. If you believe in fighting against us for this city and her people then I’ll support your decision.”

Hiram frowned and sighed “I know it is… But I wish to stay by my master’s and brother’s side.” He stood up and walked over to Ordell, he gently put his hand on his son’s shoulder.

Tears welled up in Ordell’s eyes “Father…” Hiram’s hand moved from his shoulder to his hand “Don’t. Don’t start regretting now, don’t falter. You made your choice, now live with it.”

“...” Ordell wiped his tears and nodded “Right… Thank you father and.. Farewell, next time we meet we’ll…” The trainer looked at his father and stared at him with a stern and expecting expression “...We’ll be enemies.”

Hiram smiled and nodded “So be it, go forth my son. I wish you the best.”

Ordell nodded before running off and not looking back.

“...If only I were as determined and brave as you are, my child.”

—

Ordell stared at Solars who was standing in front of the sealed door.

“Come closer, Ordell.”

This man always managed to instill fear into him. Not anymore.

He hoped.

He took a deep shaky breath and walked up to his old commander.

“Master Solaris.”

Despite being gone for 8 years the damned way he was raised was programmed into his brain.

Solaris looked the boy up and down “You caused quite a stir when you left.” Ordell simply nodded “Why have you returned, young bishop?” He stared Solaris into his eyes, he couldn’t be afraid anymore “I can’t allow you to terrorize this city and her people anymore. I’ve decided to put a stop to it.”

Solaris stayed silent as he looked back at the gate “Young bishop, do you know what we’re looking at?”

Ordell looked at the sealed door “...This is the gate where the meteor is hidden, right?”

Solaris nods “So you do remember your lessons, and what do you remember of the gate and its keys”

“...Ruby, the seal of pain, Saphira, the seal of love, Emerald, the seal of faith and Amethyst, the seal of the beyond. When the four keys come together this gate will open.”

Solaris nods again “Indeed, so how selfish and utterly foolish does someone have to be to build a city on top of it? For THAT is Reborn.”

Solaris once again turned to Ordell, this time glaring down at him “And how utterly foolish do you have to be to wish to protect it, and how utterly obtuse do you have to be to think you can stop us?”

Ordell glared back “I think you’re the foolish one. The people of Reborn have done nothing to deserve this. Sure, there are some bad apples… But that doesn’t mean all have to suffer for it.”

A deep breath, exhale.

“And perhaps I’m an idiot for trying to take you on… But I know that if I don’t at least try then… Then I’ll feel guilt. Guilt that I didn’t at least try to stop your horrid ways.”

The two glared at each other a little longer.

“...You’ve grown. Good. You might survive a little longer.” Solaris said “You can go, so can your friend. She’s being held up father ahead.”

Ordell nodded “Thank you, Solaris.”

Ordell waited for the footsteps to be fully gone before heading over to save Victoria.

Solaris walked passed him “Farewell, young crusader.”

—

“Well well if it isn’t Ordell. That is your name now, right?”

The crusader’s eyes widened as he came face to face with his old babysitter.

The blue haired trainer stood there with his hands in his pocket as he watched the trainer chase the rampaging Beartic off “Good job on that pokemon by the way. I was planning on putting a stop on it myself, but you were ahead off- OOF!”

Blake got stopped mid sentence as Ordell hugged him and lifted him off the ground in a tight bear hug. He had a child-like grin on his face.

“Ugh- Yeah yeah- You’re killing me.” The agent said as he patted Ordell’s back signaling him to put him down. “Oops, sorry.” the crusader put Blake down and looked at Blake with bright eyes.

“...You look like a little puppy…” Blake murmured.  “Anyway, damn- I remember you being a  scrawny little shit, what happened?” the bluenette grabbed one of Ordell’s biceps and squeezed “I mean I know you used to love working out but like, you’ve never been this buff.”

Ordell flexed "I worked out ten times as hard! And uh, T helped me out as well."

A snort came from Blake as he unconsciously reached out to ruffle Ordell's hair.

"Hey! Hehe~ Missed me too, huh?" Ordell asked. Blake pulled away "Whaaat? Pff, nah." Blake said "You leaving made my job easier, honestly."

Ordell pouted "Aw… Not even a little…?" Blake hummed and looked away "I guess I did miss your antics."

Ordell grins again “I missed you too!” Blake huffed “I didn’t miss you, anyway… We both know what side we’re on, yeah?” Now the trainer frowned and simply nodded. “Then make sure you’re not so happy to see me, got it?”

Ordell nodded again, clearly upset now. Blake simply shrugged at that “Listen, you either hesitate and get pwned or you take your shot and win.” The crusader sighed “I know… I won’t hesitate.” Then once again a soft smile “Better watch out then, because I will kick your ass.”

Blake sighs before grinning “Yeah yeah, whatever. Stay righteous, champ.”

Ordell watched him walk off, both pushing away any regret they were feeling.

—

“Prosperitas, Pax Pacis, Obsequium. Blessings of the Lord Arceus upon your house.”

Ordell felt panic settle in as he heard his uncle’s voice, and accompanying him was Ordell’s twin.

Of course they were here. If they weren’t stuck by Taka’s side they were with their father, uncle or with Solaris.

“Oh, you’re here too.” Divers said with disappointment in their voice, Elias looked over and his eyes widened “Ordell… There you are.”

Ordell awkwardly waved “Uncle, Divers.”

“Oh?” the ice leader, Serra stated “Family huh?” 

Ordell sighed and nodded. “I wouldn’t quite call him family seeing as he betrayed and left us.” Divers spat out creating an awkward tension.

“Please Divers, much like my daughter I believe he can still be returned to the light.” Ordell cringed, “...Of course uncle, forgive me.”

Elias explained about his situation and that he was looking for Luna, who just so happened to have lived here in the estate for a little while. Luckily enough she wasn’t here anymore.

Unfortunately his uncle and sibling weren’t leaving quite yet.

“You know your nephew is looking to challenge me, I’m sure it would be interesting entertainment for you.” Serra explained. Elias turned to his nephew “Is that so? I’d love to see how much you’ve grown in your absence young Ordell.”

“...Yeah sure, I have no issue with it.”

He did, but it didn’t matter. As long as they weren’t harming anyone it was fine. Besides… It was nice to be in the same place as his family again without fighting.

He went through the gym easily, he defeated Bennett and El claimed that he should aim higher than simply being a gym leader. 

Just before El left with Bennett and Divers his uncle stopped in front of him “You’ve grown quite a bit, both as a person and a trainer. It’s not too late to return to the light.”

Ordell shook his head “Thank you for having faith in me, Uncle… But I won’t be going back.”

He walked off leaving his uncle behind.

He was so busy thinking about his past that he didn’t realize that his uncle was manipulating Bennett.

—

“Greetings trainer-” “Luna!”

Ordell smiled happily at his cousin, finally seeing her again after 8 years. She frowned and looked him up and down “...” Her eyes widened “[Deadname]...?”

He nodded eagerly “Ordell now, but yeah!” He held out his arms “Can I…?” She blinked but smiled happily before walking into his arms.

The two shared a tight hug.

Not just a hug that says that they’ve missed each other and loved each other.

But a hug of understanding and a mutual feeling.

They pulled away and they smiled “You look beautiful, Luna. I wish I could’ve been there during your transition.” Ordell explained “Same here, Ordell. You look wonderful.”

Ordell put his hand on her shoulder “Are you alright…? Running away couldn’t have been easy… Don’t worry, I’ll make sure Uncle and the others don’t get to you.”

Her eyes widened “Uncle…?” Ordell frowned “Uncle Elias?” he saidm Luna’s gaze faltered and she started to fidget “I don’t know anyone by that name…”

Ordell opened his mouth to say something when Taka’s and Serra’s words rang through his mind.

“Right…”

“...Well nevermind then, still, I’m happy to see you.” Luna smiled again “I’m happy to see you too, feel free to heal your pokemon and then meet me in the next room. Father will be with us shortly”

Ordell nodded and watched his cousin walk off before sighing. His Vaporeon, Pancake and his Primarina, Star, looked at him curiously. “Father, huh…? We’ve got a lot in common, trans, running away and finding safety in parents that aren’t blood related ....” He grabbed a picture from his bag. It was his adoptive father Hal, a fisherman that took him in when he arrived in Alola.

He healed his team and joined Luna “Chesire!” He scratched the Umbreon behind his ears “Heh, he hasn’t changed one bit, has he?” Luna giggled “No, but don’t fret. He’s very happy to see you.”

Before the two could continue to talk a man with a funny looking hat and a Gardevoir walked in.

“And who have we got here, Luna?” The man, Radomus, asked. Luna giggled “What do you mean father? This is my older brother, Ordell!”

There was silence in the room. Then in the order of Ordell, Gardevoir and Radomus was said:

“Huh?”

“Eh?”

“Oh?”

She grabbed Ordell’s arm “What’s the matter, father, Gardevoir?” The two looked at each other before looking back “Nothing at all, dear.” 

After a moment Radomus send Luna and Gardevoir out of the room to speak with Ordell alone.

They talked about El and how things came to be until Cain arrived.

“Brother? Ordell, I didn’t know you also had a sister?” The purple haired trainer asked, Ordell shrugged and sighed “Me neither…”

“Pardon?” Luna asked, “Don’t worry about it, Lunnie.” 

—

“Things are a shitshow, Star.”

“Primaaa!”

“Tell me about it…”

Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut's 330-mph Top Speed Run Is Feasible

Family wagons now make 603 horsepower and three-row SUVs could be fitted with 710-horsepower engines. Year after year, automakers continue to boost the bar with even koenigsegg jesko top speed more highly effective vehicles. A few automakers, although, continue to chase one other, extra rarified figure — top speed.

Most folks can’t even pronounce the company’s name, and that’s okay; it’s not a straightforward word to wrap your tongue round. (Cone-ig-seg.) Try not to sound like you’re saying it for the first time whenever you say it round your mates. Koenigsegg says the Jesko Absolut is actually snug and “streetable.” They use terms like “daily driver” and I don’t suppose they’re joking. We’ll get to the axe in a minute, however first, let’s look at the handle.

He began his profession at KTAR News ninety two.3 FM in Phoenix, the biggest news radio station in Arizona, the place he specialized in breaking news and politics. A burgeoning curiosity in classic cars took him to the Journal in 2018. But drivers will be handled to more than just an insane thrill experience. The drag coefficient is achieved by way of the ditching the massive rear spoiler. Two fins substitute it, taking inspiration from the F-15 fighter jet. The practical effect is to clm airflow over the rear bodywork, lowering total drag.

The top-speed targeted Koenigsegg Jesko did materialise earlier this week. It had been broadly rumoured during the lead up to the Geneva Motor Show 2020. The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is set to be the fastest Koenigsegg ever constructed and compromise downforce for a low drag coefficient. This gearbox additionally advantages from an electronic administration system known as Ultimate Power On Demand, which chooses the optimal gear during acceleration.

Gears are chosen by the driving force both utilizing the shift paddles mounted on the steering column or the gear selector. Cruise the track in fashion and luxury, as you experience an unbeatable sense of speed and excessive performance. If you are on the lookout for an adrenaline rush that will push your abilities to new heights and make your heart race faster than ever earlier than, this occasion is strictly what you need. Pedal your method to victory in a Hypercar that’s as quick as it's fierce. Forza Horizon 5 Koenigsegg Jesko is already the quickest car within the game. However, you may tune the Jesko for improvements to make it even quicker, just like you'll find a way to with any other automobile.

Parking is helped alongside by a reverse digital camera and entrance and rear parking sensors. LED headlights show the best way ahead, and the ultra-rigid carbon fiber monocoque features entrance and rear crumple zones. The Autoskin system, first revealed on the Regera, makes use of miniaturized hydraulics to open the Jesko's doorways koenigsegg jesko top speed and hood for a truly touchless expertise. Once inside, the Jesko wraps its occupants in leather-based, Alcantara, carbon fiber, aluminum, and glass. The wraparound windshield gives off a jet-fighter feel that suits the capabilities of this machine.

Now sporting a 1,341 horsepower V8 engine and benefitting from decreased weight, the Agera RS achieved a mean two-way speed of 278 mph within the Nevada desert. After 10 years, and multiple engine configurations, the SSC Ultimate Aero TT was fitted with a twin-turbocharged Corvette V8 capable of practically 1,200 horsepower. This model established a Guinness World Record in 2007 when it averaged 256 mph on a closed course in Washington state. SSC has since began manufacturing of the Tuatara, with a claimed, and yet-to-be-confirmed, top speed of 300 mph.

SmartCenter can be the interface for various automobile setup and monitoring screens such as traction control, ESP, tire pressure monitoring, and extra. If the driver needs to know the way something operates, they'll all the time consult an electronic copy of the owner’s guide, also put in on the system. Koenigsegg has developed new driver controls utilizing touchscreen know-how constructed koenigsegg jesko top speed into each the model new SmartCenter and SmartWheel. Working with the design group, they have mixed this functionality with stunning, flowing traces, thereby fulfilling the temporary for a design that's 100% Koenigsegg, and 100% targeted on astounding monitor efficiency. Even the rear view mirrors play an element, including 20kg of downforce and directing airflow in the direction of the rear of the automobile.

These assist high-speed stability and really scale back drag, somewhat than increasing it. DJS has been driving his virtual Koenigsegg Jesko to speeds exceeding 300 mph. But he wants to be faster, so he has been implementing varied upgrades and tunes.

The track-ready Jesko’s boomerang-shaped rear wing and deep entrance splitter produces 1760 pounds at one hundred fifty five mph on the wing’s most aggressive setting. Somewhere north of one hundred ninety mph, this number goes up to a most of over 3000 kilos. However, those striking new hood fins ought to nonetheless provide sufficient straight line stability. The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut was revealed earlier this week in the course of the digital version of the Geneva Motor Show, but the proprietor and CEO, Christian von Koenigsegg was somewhat quiet about its potential top speed.

Missing, Missing

Notes: The Yaeneris family is struggling. Their only child has a solution, and they've seen this coming for months. It still hurts.

It's the wee hours of the morning, when it's still dark out, that Mr. Yaeneris finds a note and a Pokéball in place of his daughter on her bed. Tucked neatly in an envelope and sealed, as if waiting for someone to rip it open. In his panic, he doesn't note the window left slightly ajar.

'No,' he thinks, scrambling to his bedroom, where his wife is still rousing. 'She can't have gone far, not without Abra.'

Waking his wife, who covers her mouth in shock at the news that their daughter, their poor Illana, is missing from her room, he comforts her. They'd...they'd known, they've been struggling and their child had seen that, and precious thing that she is, she wanted to help.

Not like this. Not by leaving. The region is dangerous, and they love her despite their current money problems- and they know she loves them too, because she wouldn't do this if she didn't think it would help.

It's a long while of crying before they open the letter. It tells them to let Abra out to read it as well, which Mrs. Yaeneris does while wiping her tears.

'To mom and dad: I'm sorry if it's sudden, and I know you're going to be sad for a while when I'm gone. You're both struggling, working so hard just to stay afloat and pay my tuition, and I'm tired of you guys having to spend so much money just for me. I've decided to go through with starting my journey- not here, I know you'll both look for me, and Phoenix probably will, too, but please don't. I'll be on a train to the Kanto Region by the time you both find this letter, and Abra. Please don't be mad. It would be selfish of me to stay knowing you guys need the money you make just to live, and you both know I'm a big kid- big enough to make it through Kanto!

I love you all. Please let Abra help out any way she can. Don't worry the Alcantaras with my absence...you can tell them I went abroad, or whatever they believe, but please please please don't make them worry. Especially not Phoenix.

-Illana'

...they feel a pit in both their stomachs, as if this will be the last they hear of her.

[pokefangamebrainrot]

I don't want a proposal, but if it makes you happy then I will ask you about Taube and Joseph headcanons. Go on. Educate me about these Alcantras.

part 1 of my taube and joseph headcanons!

taube alcantara headcanons

-super doting father. definitely tried not to spoil his child, wanting him to have humility, but taube made sure phoenix knew he was loved every second of the day

-it’s very easy to make him cry. both for positive and negative reasons. joseph sometimes teases him about this

-he’s travelled pretty much all over the world! his favourite region was kalos

-he’s one of the most beloved people in the region. he tried his best to help every single person he came across, no matter their thoughts on arceus or him

-as such he can be a teensy bit pushy when it comes to helping people. he’s working on it

-he’s super sensitive when people are even a little mean to him, but he refuses to push back on it

-HOWEVER if anyone even TRIES to be mean to the people he loves he goes FERAL

-if you can’t tell, he’s way more chaotic and hopeless than he tries to appear to his parishioners and the people that come to him for help

joseph hazel headcanons

-he was a much stricter parent than taube was, even though their children turned out very similarly

-specialises in ground, normal and fire types

-refuses to joke around with anyone except for taube. he’s very serious, both to strangers and those he knows well, but he slightly lets his hair down around taube

-he’s a few years older than taube, and tried to preserve his innocence

-he writes poetry

-his signature pokémon is a hisuian arcanine

-he homeschooled both solaris and elias, and his punishments were things like writing lines. taube’s carefree personality made teaching solaris discipline hard for him

joseph: “i think we have to kill this guy master alcantara”

taube: “damn…”
