CROSSOVER PAIRS

Hange Zoe (Attack On Titan) and Ms. Raifort (Pokemon)

[nitefise-art]

Companion fic to my Zero comic, Part 1/?

--

If you asked the staff at Uva Academy, there was scarcely another person in Mesagoza more passionate about their job than Director Clavell himself.  The students are his greatest treasure, they will tell you; and of course, that much was obvious.  Nothing else would quite explain the “Glossary of modern slang” spreadsheet (of dubious accuracy) permanently on his desktop.  

Equally true, although they would all be far too modest to admit it, was that Director Clavell also treasured his staff.  Each was exceptional, in their own unique way, and, as such, indispensable to the academic institution.  Dendra, for example, was a remarkable athlete. Saguaro, “wholesome”, as the expression was used these days.  Jacq, brilliant, although you would be forgiven for thinking otherwise on first impressions alone.  Tyme, well…Tyme was… Tyme.  And Raifort, a woman with an encyclopaedic knowledge of history and a flair for the dramatics.

So Clavell thought, as the last-mentioned woman stood before him, peering at him over her glasses.

“Lovely to see you,” he had said.  “How can I be of assistance?”

“You might want to rethink that adjective,” she had countered, “after you hear what I’m about to say.”

Heavens, it was going to be a long day.

“I’ve had reports that students were seen entering the Zero Gate.”

Clavell’s eyebrows shot up.  Perhaps he had been wrong to judge her after all.

“The Zero Gate?!  Are you quite sure?”

“Well, it’s not like I’ve investigated myself, but you know what they say about smoke and fire.”

“No, quite right…”

Now Clavell felt judged, by the single hand resting on the history teacher’s hip, no less.  He didn’t dare look up at the raised eyebrow he knew was there, and busied himself with examining the surface of his table as he pondered the proposition. If it was true, how could they have gotten in?  The security on that door was first‑rate in the region, and he certainly hadn’t authorised any entries, not in the last five years at least.  The only other person with enough clearance was—

Clavell sprang up.  

If Raifort was surprised when Professor Turo’s icon appeared on the TV screen, she did not show it; or, perhaps, she was already one step ahead of him.  What she could not be privy to, however, was the growing apprehension plaguing the man next to her that perhaps he already knew who it was that was seen crossing the forbidden threshold.  Perhaps he knew from the moment he laid eyes on that strange Cyclizar.  The day Turo had rather abruptly requested an audience with the new student.  

Clavell shifted his weight from one foot to the other as the static image of his friend stared back at him.  A familiar face, although one that reminded him with each passing year that time spared no one—not even the man whose energy seemed like it could burn forever.

The ringing came to an abrupt stop.

“PROFESSOR TURO IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE.”

Clavell tried to convince himself that it was probably nothing, that Turo was probably just busy (or on the loo, perhaps), but the pit of his stomach insisted otherwise.  

“…I apologise for being abrupt, Ms Raifort, but I must go.”  But not without forgetting his manners.  “Thank you for bringing this to my attention.”

“You’re not planning on heading down there yourself, Director?”

There was no hiding from a woman wizened by human history.  And yet, what could he do?  Lead a group of teaching staff down into an active research zone?  Ask the League and wait up to three working days for a response while there were children loose in Area Zero?  No, if Turo had really achieved what he suspected, Clavell would have to see to this personally.

“Please advise Ms Tyme that the usual protocols apply in my absence.  I should not be gone more than 24 hours.”

It was going to be a very long day.

A terrible pity Claydol didn't make the gen 9 Dexit, genwunner she may be I think Ms. Raifort would make an exception for a Pokemon that's spooky ancient pottery with psychic powers

i attend the classes in pokémon violet for the academic validation and compliments when i answer a question

[luckyspot]

Ms. Dendra's Medicham is the mother of the Tulip's bodyguards.

Dendra specifically bred them so they'd be especially tough and resilient, but also so they would have the discipline to be able to go with Tulip wherever she went.

They unfortunately tend to forget their strength however, so they're not used in Gym Battles.

I like head cannons about the teachers in Paldea but please give me your head cannons about them being teachers. Educators. They're all pretty spoiler-free, so I feel confident posting some of mine:

- Mr. Jacq can be fooled into thinking he didn't assign homework.

- If you tell Mr. Salvatore you have a crush on someone in your class, he will move your seats closer together and basically be the best wingman a teacher can be.

- Mr. Hassel would never scorn the anime art style.

- Ms. Raifort is prone to going on tangents.

- Ms. Dendra will approach students who are being too noisy and make them exercise with her

Maybe a drabble or hcs about reader having to avoid Ms. Rainfort like the plague bc if they are around her for too long the ruin pokemon will prob do to her what they did to the king of paldea (If you dont want to write all of them could you pick ting-lu?)

(I have a hc that the ruin pokemon can feel peoples evil intentions and ms Rainfort is very insistent in taking the ruin pokemon and just gives you nasty plot as well so that doesn't help her case at all))

"Nasty Plot? Why are you giving me this TM in particular, Professor?" Staring down at the disc in your hands, you looked at your history professor with a puzzled gaze, wondering why she would have something like this on-hand.

It certainly seemed strange, given the circumstances of your most recently-captured Pokémon...who happened to be one of the harbingers of disaster to the Paldean Kingdom.

"Oh! It can be used to boost Ting-Lu's special attacks. Of course, it can always be stronger...it has been sealed away for many years, after all." Despite Raifort's gentle smile, the glint in her eyes was nothing short of sinister. "But I can understand if you're having difficulties in taming this Ruinous Treasure's might. It's still quite the unpredictable brute, so if at anytime you wish to turn it over to me, I can-"

"Tiiiing..."

Blinking in surprise, you glanced at Ting-Lu, who heavily opposed her proposition as it backed away, sticking close to your side (or at least as much as it could without its bowl hitting you). Its red eyes stared at her with such caution, as though boring into her very soul.

You frowned a bit, resting your hand on its side, before gazing back at Raifort.

Something about this...didn't feel right.

"I think Ting-Lu trusts me more, professor. But thank you for the offer anyways."

"It's not problem." Although her smile didn't waver for a moment, she now seemed quite unnerved at the dark/ground type's reaction. "I hope you don't mind gathering some data on its habits and such...for homework, let's say. I'd like to share the knowledge we've gained on the quartet so far with my future students so I'm not just telling them how these Pokémon are shrouded in total mystery."

"That's fair." You nodded respectfully. "And...I'll work on finding the locations of the others and their shrines."

"Wonderful! Now I'll have to prepare for my next class. See you around, [y/n]!"

"Take care, professor."

As soon as Raifort headed back into the school, Ting-Lu relaxed its haunches, and you found yourself relaxing your own shoulders, too. Somehow you were apparently just as tense as it.

You looked at it with a sympathetic smile, rubbing its snout. "I know she's a history professor, but...this obsession with you guys is strange. Clearly you know something about her that I don't. I'll get to the bottom of it."

"Lu." It nodded in agreement, before you returned it to its pokeball as to not attract unwanted attention from any nearby students. You decided to head back to the dorms.

Though not without checking out a few books first..

.........

It was no surprise that you didn't find a lot of recorded information on the Legendary Quartet.

The most you could find were old tales and scriptures of their associated items....as well as the effects they had on humans who used them or sought them out. Obviously they left the greatest impact on the Paldean Kingdom beyond causing it to collapse practically overnight.

However, there was one story in particular which stood out to you.....and you realized that this fictious tale may be true after all, especially given Ting-Lu's wariness around Raifort.

The passage claimed that having just one of the items within the vicinity of an authority figure would drive them to obsession with it, willing to do just about anything to have it for themselves.

They'd barter, beg, bribe, steal...or even kill for it.

And this would only grow further if another item was present as well, and it would continue with the third and the fourth..

Eventually this accumulates into this person having unfathomable greed and hoarding all of their powers for themselves, refusing to share them with anyone else.

That's exactly what the king had done, and in his greed he destroyed lives and inevitably caused the items to become Pokémon themselves--living sentient beings fueled by the rage of dozens of souls.

Because they were able to sense his evil and corruption, they flattened his empire for good....at the cost of their freedom.

But now that you've released Ting-Lu from captivity, you wondered if Raifort's reaction to it was going to lead to something similar.

Or, as they say, if history was going to repeat itself.

She did offer to take it away from you despite not knowing the bond you've formed with it during your time exploring and teaching it new moves. And she seemed very insistent that you collected data on the remaining Ruinous Treasures and not share it with anyone else, acting as though you're her research assistant rather than a student like every other kid in this academy.

But you trusted Ting-Lu's judgement, even though in your heart you didn't want to believe she was secretly some corrupt and evil person. You didn't wanna stir up any rumors or conspiracies that could get her fired or you expelled.

So for now, you decided that the best thing to do was gather data and only send it to her via rotomphone and give her updates that way.

You won't let her see any of the Ruinous Pokémon face-to-face anymore...and unless you're attending her class, you'll try to avoid bumping into her as often as you can, fearing how she'll react if you catch any of the others.

In order to keep her, yourself, and possibly all of Paldea safe...this was the best course of action.

[ask-directorsada-and-friends]

Professor Lucina Sada was used to giving presentations. She was used to seeing her fellow professors. Sada was even used to being called nuts.

She was not good with surprises. Especially when she was running on 48 hours of coffee and little sleep.

So, as she prepared her notes for her presentation at the conference, walking through the Great Hall of the academy, the last thing she needed was for someone to tap her on the shoulder. So, when someone did, she swatted away their hand, not looking up. Whoever it was didn't seem to get the hint, as they did so again. "Go. away. I'm busy." She growled through gritted teeth. Hopefully this wasn't a poor student she just scared again- Jacq and Salvatore refused to let her live that down.

"You know, it's considered rude to not look up at the person talking to you, mi corazón."

She froze. That voice...

Whipping around, she was face to face with Professor Andres Turo, fellow Pokemon professor, co-creator of the Tera Orb, and... her estranged spouse.

Who was now out cold on the ground following her fist connecting with his face.

Whoops.

Ms. Tyme was NOT happy with her reaction, stating she couldn't have waited until she was in private to punch him?

Hassel, Saguero, Salvatore, and Dendra had to pay Raifort after she won the bet over how long it would take for them to be in the same region before she punched Turo. Miriam is amazed at how fast she moved, while Jacq... he missed the whole thing, having instead chosen to catch up with his brother and cousins over lunch in town.

Kukui, who witnessed the entire thing, was laughing his ass off.

A few hours before the conference began, she went to apologize to Turo. After all, he didn't deserve to be punched (well, he did, just not like that). The moment he opened his door, she ended up punching him again.

Augustine ended up having to sit between the two once the conference began. He'd managed to get them to agree to speak in private later, just for now to please stop punching the man when children are around. Jacq was sat besides Sonia and her assistant Hop- his baby cousin, as it turned out- while Juniper sat with Elm and Birch. Rowan, Oak, and Kukui had found themselves at the other end of the oval conference table, Oak's grandson Blue nearby with Bianca of Unova discussing their friends and their habit of "vanishing without warning anyone". Lucas and Brendan were discussing regional variants and the mysterious 'Hisuian forms' that once called Sinnoh home. She knew Champion Leon of Galar had accompanied his brother here, but he had opted to explore the academy instead, stating he probably wouldn't understand much of what was to be discussed.

Sada figured that as they were all here, she might as well take the chance to explain the strange multiverse she had experienced. Kukui had already been filled in, having dealt with something similar a few years back, so at least he wouldn't think she was crazy... at least regarding this.

"Fellow Professors and researchers, I welcome you to Paldea's esteemed Naranja Academy. As you all know, it is here where Professor Laventon studied and is said to be inspired to create what we now know as the very first Pokedex." The director began, gesturing to a framed photo hanging up on the wall between Rowan and Oak. A man with tan skin, a bowtie, and curly hair smiled back from the image, a plaque beneath it reading Professor Laventon, shortly before his trip to document the Pokemon of the Hisui region. "Since then, advancements in not only what he first documented but beyond in the area of Pokemon research have soared far past what we can expect he ever dreamed of. A computerized Pokedex, studies into baby Pokemon, the rediscovery of the Fairy Type- thought to have been lost since he first documented it- and Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, Dynamax, and Terestalization are only scratching the surface of what we have done here. Why, our academy's own Jacq Sycamore created the very first Pokedex app to document and study the Pokemon of Paldea and the regional forms that live here." She paused to take a breath. Alright. Time to drop the bombshell she knew.

"And during this time, we have witnessed strange disturbances in space-time. Laventon documented what he called 'Space-Time Distortions' in Hisui, rifts in the fabric of time and space that dragged Pokemon from different places and eras to the location they formed in. We have seen in Sinnoh and Alola that such things are possible- that multiple universes can exist. What I have discovered recently is-"

That was when the door to the conference room opened and someone tumbled inside. Wearing a labcoat (a rather outdated one at that) and a purple hat, the person seemed to be confused and surprised, hugging a bundle of papers to his chest as he groaned from where he landed by Sada's feet.

Sycamore was already helping the man up, but upon seeing his face he scrambled back, letting go and accidentally dropping him. The room was in a stunned silence before Rowan, the most senior professor (or second most senior professor now) spoke.

"If I am not mistaken... Is that Professor Laventon?"

(Hehehehehehe Sada sees Turo- OHKO.

Sees him again- OHKO

so @askprofessorlaventon and I have been planning this for a bit now. If you follow my other Pokemon ask blog, @silentzoroark, you no doubt saw the beginning of this.

[swagtastic-bougie-pompadour]

Hey there! Wait, I should probably use a traditional Paldean Greeting. Let's try agian.

'Ello, 'ello, hola! Ciao and bonjour! Yeah, that's right. Man, you Paldeans sure are weird. Can't believe you say that every time you greet eachother, its so long.

Anyways, hey, I'm Zinnia, just a traveling Pokemon trainer dreaming of taking a little trip into space. I'm also, as it happens, a one hund-er-ed precent gen-u-ine Draconid Lorekeeper. Please, save your applause.

I've been hit with the travel bug again and I was thinking of trying someplace new. I've already been to Unova and Sinnoh a bunch so I was thinking why don't I try Paldea. And, since your school's got the largest library in the region, I've just gotta visit and see what you've got. I love a good story, you get me?

I can't just waltz in and take a look, though. I mean, I could, but that'd be real rude. And what kinda Lorekeeper would I be if I read and ran? So I was thinking we could do a little equivalent exchange. I get full access to your library and in exchange maybe I could give a guest lecture or three on Hoenn history. It's a win-win. I get to read books and share knowledge and you get an extra history teacher for a bit.

Course, I know you can't okay this. After all, you're just Clive, totally normal and radical student, but I'd be totally down to schedule an appointment. with the Director And by schedule an appointment i mean I broke into his office five minutes ago and am currently sitting in his chair. I'd advise changing the locks but that really wouldn't help.

-Zinnia, Lorekeeper of the Draconid People (@last-lorekeeper)

Why hello there, Lorekeeper Zinnia! ...That catchphrase is pretty much just Iono around these parts, but hey, can't blame you! It's trendy.

We'd be happy to do a library loan of any sort to you regardless of the state of the situation, buuuuut I do in fact see you are in the director's chair. So I can certainly... expedite that meeting for you. Cultural exchange is pretty sick, anyways! I'm sure there won't be any major challenges. Ms. Raifort would surely indulge some learning directly from the source!

...Clavell will be right over.

Fun Little AU

Immortal!Volo Au but He winds up teaching Geography or some shit involving travelling or mythology at Naranja/Uva academy and winds up running into the MC who got yeeted back to their own time by Arceus and happens to be ATTENDING Said school now-

He also may or may not be the merchant who brought the ruin pokemon to paldea. And nearly DIED in the ensuing battle- (Well as close to dying as an immortal can get-) ...He probably has a few bones to pick with Ms. Raifort-like some kind of rivalry-

[theliterarywolf]

Do you think the DEI might ruin Pokemon's future Black Characters?

No, I don't think so. Remember, SwSh gave us Nessa and SV, for as much as I was shirking off the human designs, did give us my beautiful wife: Ms. Raifort

[bulbagarden]

11 days to Pokemon Day! I've been wondering about what might get revealed, 'cos there's been a strong space/time theme in recent games -- BDSP reminding us of what Dialga and Palkia can do, PLA with time travel, spacetime crises and time-displaced humans and Pokemon, and now S/V with the Paradox Pokemon and Related Shenanigans... Personally, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for S/V DLC with Ingo and Lady Sneasler, but Ms Raifort going rogue seems more likely... (also, PMD: Explorers DX??? *hopes*)

I got two asks about this so I figured that I'd end up saving this one for after the Pokémon Presents?

GOD I do hope that Ingo's (actually Emmet would be better in my opinion!) going to be in the scarlet violet DLC!! My big sister LOVES the subway masters, and has for like... ever since BW came out, and she was... SHOCKED when Legends had Ingo LOL. So it'd make me very very happy if there was Submas stuff in scarlet violet as well!!!

Sadly no PMD news (I need to play those!) or... Legends news or... much else that excited me except for the new TV show. It wasn't really my favorite Presents ever, honestly I don't feel like much happened but... I'm still very excited to see what'll happen with all they announced anyways!!

(the pink marks are what actually happened and the green ones were my predictions!!)

(thanks for asking also!!! i love getting asks!)
