Real World Team Counterparts: Volo

That drawing looks a lot better on paper oopsie

So I took all of his team and thought "hm what would these be if they were real creatures?".

Also apologies for poor resolution I had to combine the images.

Garchomp: Great White Sharks

Firstly, it looks like a shark. It has the fins for it!!

Secondly, Great White Sharks "fly" out of water. And Garchomp's dex entry says it flies. (I've only seen it in the anime though)

And I saw somewhere say it's fast. I dunno what's considered fast for a shark tho.

Roserade: Desert Rose

(My original choice was a Venus flytrap, but it wasn't as Roserade like as I originally thought)

Okay so normal roses aren't poisonous, and I was determined to pick a toxic flower!!

This was the only desert rose I found that looks like this, so I'm not sure how real it is, but it has both purple and pink, the colors of Roserade's roses. (In the BDSP 3d sprite the blue looks a lot more purple)(+ Pink red, same thing basically)

The appearance fits the elegance Roserade puts off + it's toxic

Spiritomb: Albatross:

Spiritomb is a hard one, but Albatrosses are rumored to have souls of dead sailors. And Spiritomb is just a bunch of souls!! Best one I could find.

They're also endangered due to plastic in seas. (this is your reminder to not use plastic if possible) Endangered animals are rare

Arcanine: Border Collie Canine

Hisuian Arcanine is like the only dex entry that doesn't talk about it being elegant. But it talks about how it "dances" in battle, which wasn't literal dancing, but with quick speeds and graceful moves. Which could be considered elegant.

Elegance is subjective though and look at how elegant that fluffy boy looks!!

Arcanines are known for their speed and according to multiple websites Border Collies are in the top 10 speediest ones!!

I also needed a dog and a fluffy one, look at this baby!! It fits the vibe check!!

Lucario: Bonfire Kennel German Pinscher Canine

Tried so hard to find something that wasn't just a dog that looked like it but everything was pointing back to dogs.

Aura was similar to senses, so I was gonna find something with good senses, I could only think of dogs

Friendship evolution made me want to find something loyal, and dogs are known for loyalty

So I just picked a dog that looked like Lucario

Finally Togekiss: Blue Bird

The Togepi line is known for being a symbol of luck and happiness. So is the Blue Bird!! It's the only bird I could find that fit the vibe check and was both.

I needed a bird for her too (I think it's called a she by Volo in game, I'm not sure if that was just fan media tho)

Bonus:Giratina

Definitely some sort of snake.

Snakes are symbols for evil in many religions, Christianity, Judaism and Islam are some examples (and the first 3 I found when I googled this).

Giratina is like...Pokemon Satan, who's known to be the incarnate of evil in Christianity.

May I mention one of the main evils it resembled was destruction, and Giratina was known for wanting to destroy Arceus.

+ Vibe check fitter

Extra Thoughts

GUYS DON'T HATE SNAKES!! In other religions they symbolize good things + they're cool.

Okay so I actually did this since I keep tryna use Volo for RPS and needed an alternative for Togepi. That's what made me want to do his whole team.

Imagine him owning a massive shark like that casually. Pls.

Also Spiritomb was the only one who didn't really fit the vibe of an Albatross. So sorry Spiritomb!!

Happy Volo month btw

Anyways suggest teams for me to do next and have a wonderhoytastic day!

In Pokémon legends arceus, I think that after learning about Beni being a ninja that we should have been given the opportunity to learn techniques from him to catch Pokémon or in the rematches against the nobles.

i am still really abnormal and irregular about this game btw. if you even care

decided to draw more headcanony things too :-D first drawing is based on reincarnation apple by pinocchiop because i had it on repeat for over a week LOLOL

[thespectral-wolf]

Hello PLA fandom, I'm probably late by a year and also never played a single Pokemon game in my life, but I decided that that won't stop me from drawing stuff

[adobe-outdesign]

they should've added a Masterball to Legends Arceus because I think it would be really funny if you threw your 100% guaranteed catch super-powerful Pokeball that you only get one of and immediately missed

[astrolotte]

I think Serena and Dawn should be time travel buddies. You agree with me 🌀🌀🌀 ooo you agree with me 🌀🌀🌀 let them be best friends. perhaps even honorary sisters. i expect fanfiction as soon as the game comes out, maybe sooner. get on it /j

[frejs-froggy-artblog]

Sent back in time to defeat an evil cosplayer

[smashwolfen]

GOD ALMIGHTY LORD SINNOH ARCEUS ABOVE, THE YEAR I PUT IN TO FIND THIS MF ON THE MAIN FILE (since its completed hhhhhhh)!!!!!!

I CAN FINALLY MOVE ONTO THE REST OF MY DAMN SHINY NPC/STORY FILE!!!!!

Toss this dude into HOME, shimmy it around to my side file, and now, NOW.....

Dorians got his shiny Buizel, I CAN MOVE ONTO THE MOUNTAIN AND BEGIN ELECTRODE (And subsequently Ingo muehehehehehe) I was beginning to think I'd have to gamble finding an Alpha shiny Buizel but nope! This one was just big enough!!!! THE HUNT IS DONE.... for now XD

And yes im doing shiny NPC pokemon because I wanted to torture myself somehow lol, and have fun bragging rights to say I did it XD

As far as my research is telling me, all I have left to hunt down is a shiny Nosepass, unless im wrong please correct me! I'm hoping I don't have to resort to using my completed file again but for real, Shiny Buizel was the LONGEST MOST DIFFICULT HUNT IVE EVER DONE ON AND OFF!!!!! He took literally a year to do, and if it took THAT long in a file WITH the shiny charm, imagine how long it would take without the charm and a 100% dex entry fjfjidiebrjdjahehfhchr

Petilil of all things was the second longest, she took a few weeks but I think she was under 2 months?? Its been a while. Besides Buizel every other shiny has been found in this specific in progress file XD

Dont do this challenge if you value sanity XD

Sick of seeing Pokémon fanfictions where cute but dangerous elemental Pokémon like pikachu and cyndaquil are treated like household pets even though they can burn your house down and kill you by sneezing. Give me a fic where people get normal plant/animal/object Pokémon like furfrou, hoppip and klefki while owning a more powerful, dangerous special attacker Pokémon is treated with caution. Hell, maybe people even get nervous around elemental Pokémon like pikachu, no matter how cute they are. That thing is a fire hazard.

[vaugarde]

okay so as a gen 5 stan who does adore the story in bw and bw2, and now that gen 5 has experienced both a vicious hatedom that wouldnt hear a single positive thing about the games, and now a super protective fandom that insists they were perfect and had zero flaws... can we admit now that the bw1 story at least was. a little mid.

[callinskiiscalling88]

Another fanfic idea but a self insert where you helped Volo but after your guy's defeat you get sent to the future

[bobzora]

so the truth comes out. lol

yeah that joke project that i was vagueposting about for months that i was extremely committed to the bit on?

the joke was "what if i made a fnaf fangame?" and the punchline was that i actually did it. the second punchline is that i made it in rpg maker 2003. and the third punchline? it works.

downloadable now (for free, obviously) on Itch and Gamejolt

Part four to my interactive reblog game is out!

➡️Check it out here if you haven’t yet,⬅️ and help decide what happens next!

[applesjuice]

We don't have Ogerpon's situation on Kieran's death, his absence, and the reunion.

I don't want spoil the current fic I'm writing but tldr: Ogerpon is indifferent

If you go by what happened in game, she doesn't know Kieran. The player character and Carmine never gave her the chance to get to know Kieran like she did with the two of them. Their whole adventure happened without him. He did convince the townspeople about the story of the ogre being wrong but that was all off screen. It probably took a lot of work and courage from him and Ogerpon would probably be grateful but that's like, not something she was witness to see him doing.

To me Ogerpon has the mentality of a child almost. It's hard for children to grasp what they don't experience. Yeah he would leave her little presents and stuff at her den when he was younger but she was hiding. She doesn't know Kieran aside from a vague oh he is nice. And then Indigo Disk happens and he is suddenly mean and mad to see her. She probably doesn't even understand why.

So yea Ogerpon being told post Area Zero that Kieran died she'd probably be upset because she understands death, her trainer died, so she would feel for Carmine and the MC because people SHE cares about lost someone THEY care about. There is a level of emotional disconnect there. She is sad in the sense that somebody passed away more than she is that Kieran, specifically did.

And Carmine does not handle that realization well at all.

There is more of course but you will need to wait and see.

Volo and Giratina

Unbeknown to most who knew him, Volo hailed from an old, wealthy family based in western Hisui. He grew up surrounded by old Hisuian faith, raised to believe not only in deities of time and space, but an overarching god referred to as (among many other names) Arceus. While the old faith was not necessarily uncommon among Volo’s generation, belief in Arceus had been declining across the region for many decades, largely oweing to the influx of individuals and clans arriving to Hisui from other Japanese regions.

Volo took a keen interest in Hisuian legends from a young age, which his family initially encouraged. His ancestry stretched back to the most ancient of Hisuian peoples, and so his family had at their disposition an array of records, relics, and artefacts ranging from centuries to over a millennia old. He was fascinated not only by Arcues and the governers of space and time, but by the banished deity of blights, destruction, and chaos, known now as Giratina.

The old Hisuian faith rarely distinguished the creation trio by their names; this is a more modern development. Instead, these deities were viewed principally as three of Arceus’s one thousand ‘arms’, which it had used to shape the universe. Each deity was an extension of Arceus’s will rather than independent being in its own right.

The legend followed that, before the universe was formed, Giratina’s purpose had always been to warp and destroy - to erase what Arceus was not satisfied with, so that it could be reshaped anew. Once the universe had been molded as Arceus chose, it cut off this third, violent arm, sealing it away in an abandoned realm. Volo became preoccupied with this myth in early adulthood, to the point of questioning and unpicking it. If Arceus had banished this violent arm, why did destruction persist in the current world? If Girtaina could destroy where Arceus could create, did this not make them opposites, and thereby equals?

And thus Volo grew to entertain an alternate interpretation of the mythos: that Giratina was not a subservient arm of Arceus, but a god in equal opposition, which presided over a distorted realm of its own. Even as a purely theoretical concept, it was impossibly blasphemous, and Volo’s views met with outrage. But he was too curious and too contrary to relent, even in the face of his family’s horror. He was ostracised by his local community, who believed him corrupted and turned to madness by Giratina itself, and his family ultimately cast him out.

Volo took to wandering Hisui in the years thereafter, never settling anywhere. He kept his family origins a secret, taking on the guise of a Ginkgo merchant, but continued to delve into Hisuian legends . Being cut off from his family only deepened his conviction in his own beliefs. He fixated increasingly on Giratina, convinced that it was his mirror, and that their fates were somehow twinned together. He had been treated as an extension of his family, not an individual, not an equal - just as Giratina had been branded as a mere arm of Arceus. He’d stood against his parents, his ‘creators’, and been banished for it. He was as Giratina was.

And so he set out to find it. There were places in Hisui where alternate realms lay a little too close together - he’d read about them in his family’s ancient records, and he had all the time in the world to seek them out. If he could only commune with Giratina, speak with it, then he might finally find what he was looking for - a being which understood him perfectly.
