#rea varda; our destiny. || POKÉMON AU

[ofalsehoods]

small headcanon about lotor in his pokéverse: he will absolutely run into a burning building to save everybody inside…but he’ll save the pokémon before he saves the people.

[eldunea]

      “people are like, ‘i was a gifted kid but now i’m dumb as shit ahhhhh i’m so sad now weeeeehhhhh’…shut the fuck up. i grew up smart as shit and i’m smart now and i’ll die smart as fuck too. you’re nothing.”

[ofalsehoods]

let me tell you a story. 

there was once a cat breeder with a prize-winning pedigree brand champion cat named perfect gem. i can’t remember the breeder’s name or the breed she specialized in, but i do remember what she said. 

over the years, perfect gem won title after title, easily quashing her competition--until the day that this breeder retired her cat for five years. cat fanciers everywhere breathed a sigh of relief. then, suddenly, five years later, she decided to bring her perennial prizewinner back into the ring. people complained of her return, because they all knew that perfect gem was going to win yet again. she said in response:

“I have given you five years to catch up with me. If you still have not done so, then you deserve to lose.”

this is pokéverse lotor’s response to his competitors after he is put under house arrest for five years for revenge-killing an infamous man in a case of voluntary manslaughter. he is an absolute terror in competitive battling, namely because he knows magic, he’s taught all his pokémon how to use magic, he’s a genius with a 200+ IQ and that’s not even taking into account what’s in his lineup. he has a bond phenomenon zoroark (sincline) whose ability, phobiate, allows it to gain access to and create illusory simulations of an opponent’s fears--both big and small. he has a half-smeargle lucario (acxa) who can mimic others’ moves temporarily the same way velvet scarlatina in rwby can mimic others’ weapons and semblances, who can aura manipulate you into fainting without even touching you, and who is also his main mega so when she does make contact it’s even worse. he has a blind contrary serperior who “sees” better than any sighted pokémon by sensing vibrations, listening to wind currents and using her sense of smell--in a delicious touch of irony, she is a blind pokémon with no blind spot……and that’s only three of his teammates. i haven’t figured out what the rest can do but honestly you probably don’t want to know. add to that his strikingly high kill count--the 20+ pokémon that have literally died going up against him in competitive--and you have one of the most feared pokémon battlers worldwide.

when he’s removed from the battling circuit for five years and his pokémon go off to terrorize the circuit in ferrum, traditional league participants everywhere practically celebrate. they don’t have to deal with dr. sawhappy mcbloodstain killing off their pokémon--in accidents, but still, he’s killed more than he should. they don’t have to deal with his magic knowledge, or his bond phenomenon zoroark, or his bullshit lucario, or any of the OP-ness of his team. they have five years’ worth of his house arrest to shine in his place…and then when he comes back, and people start bitching that they’re going to lose again, he has only this to say.

if after five years of hiatus you still have not caught up with me, then i deserve to win.

So in Lotor's Pokemon verse, is he brown like human POC (not factoring in the illusion)? Or is he purple like his canon? No huge deal bc he's valid af either way, I'm just curious

he’s brown! this is what he looks like under the illusion. thanks for asking!

[eldunea]

lmao.

“Touch them and I’ll feed you to the Sharpedos, you fucking sociopath.”

      ❝you asked how to get off santa’s nice list, and i gave you a possible solution. it’s not my fault you didn’t like it. care for another?❞

is he trolling her? he’s definitely trolling her.

[ofalsehoods]

"My, my~" A coy smile on Lila's face reveals one thing: she's been waiting for him. Dainty ankles cross one another, keeping her demeanor polite. Because for as curious as she was, Lila was nothing if not tactful. "Congratulations," she near-sings, eyes keenly on his. Lotor was an intelligent man; she knew he would know better than to take her words at face value. So, what would he say?

he knows she can’t be nearly as happy as she lets on. there is likely jealousy behind that smile--or, from what he can guess by the way her lips lift ever so slightly, a smug sense of confidence that his relationship with ursula will not last. and she would be right, save for the fact that he sort of needed her to stay safe from the clutches of his old team…who said, though, that he couldn’t keep himself a little busy on the side?

      ❝ursula and i thank you kindly,❞ he says, returning her smile. ❝the marriage shall not take place until i am eighteen, but i haven’t the slightest doubt in my mind that she is the one who i wish to marry.❞

he loses eye contact with her as he speaks of her--he is disinterested, bored at the mere thought of spending a life with ursula. with lila on the side, though, keeping him on his toes…now that’s an arrangement he can certainly accept.

      ❝you look ravishing tonight, by the way. i do admire your sense of style.❞

😍 :3

        ❝thank you kindly,❞ he says, and gives her back a flirtatious smile. ❝the feeling is mutual.❞

of course, his real face still lay under the illusory mask. he had not seen it in years, nor would anyone else see it if he could help it. perhaps the time would come for him to show himself as he truly was. or perhaps she would be simply another passing interest to him, one who would never see past his layers of façades. 

[ofalsehoods]

"Goodness..." Lila had her hand on her chest, truthfully shaken, but certain that focusing on herself was not the way to go. "Shall I skip the pleasantries? Things seem to be setting down a bit... How are you holding up~?"

      ❝i think…i’ll be fine, thank you.❞ time to show how little he really cares about the bitch who just got her ass dragged into a police car. ❝i really don’t know how to feel. honestly, i thought i’d be more upset.❞

he laughs–a laugh that escapes him like a sigh of relief. he expects she’ll come out of jail soon, but any few hours spent away from that creature are a blessing.

      ❝enough about me. how do you feel?❞

[ofalsehoods]

testimony. (1/2)

He’s insane.

Absolutely fucking insane.

He shouldn’t do this but he feels like he should. His hand hovers on the trackpad of his laptop, his mouse parked on the “Call” button of a certain individual that he should not be speaking to, someone who doesn’t deserve the chance he’s about to give her. He stares at her name through narrowed eyes, brow furrowed as he thinks on her and everything she’s done, and everything that must have been done to her as well. Why is he doing this? What the hell is even the point? 

You want my opinion? I think she’s changed a lot, his grandfather had said. And he trusted Ezra’s opinion, but his distrust was stronger. At least, that’s what he thought until he’d opened FaceTime, pulled up her contact information, and even considered the notion of calling her. Yet there’s some truth to what his grandfather had told him all his life, not necessarily about her, but about situations like these in general. Is it really right for him to not do her the favor he’s considering, even if he had an extremely compelling reason to absolutely loathe her with everything he has?

@dragonskxn.

no bone-breaking. no dismemberment. no stabbing the opponent, or setting them on fire. and above all, no psychological manipulation.

What the FUCK kind of battling was this?!

there was one reason why lotor never made much progress in certain tournaments outside preuzien, and it was that their form of battling bored the shit out of him. things just weren’t the same without the ability to snap legs with a well-placed stone edge, or crush spinal cords with the force of a particularly vicious grass knot. they just weren’t the same without toying with the other trainer’s feelings, playing them like he played the violin before he chewed them up and spat them out--sometimes literally, using one of his pokémon. where was the hype if minimal blood was to be spilt, and you couldn’t even be Extra to make up for it like he did in coordinating? where was the thrill in a battle that didn’t feel like the fight to survive, or that didn’t engage more than one sphere of intellect at once? where was the challenge, if he knew his opponent would always be perfectly tame? but his pokémon had all sat him down one day and told him firmly: if he ever wanted to be accepted on the international stage, he was expected to learn how to battle with civility. no amount of hypermasculine bitching or the will to say “screw you, my region, my rules” could change that.

      “all right.”

he says it with an awkward smile. even greeting his opponent before the match is foreign to him--he’s simply accustomed to glaring them down, or sucker punching them to start the battle unexpectedly early. to a prussian, such courtesies as saying hello or ‘i hope you have a great match!’ to an opponent were mere weaknesses, mere luxuries…

lotor sighs as he throws his ninetales’ poké ball onto the field.

      “i’ll be nice. i promise.”

faila turns around to shoot him a glare worthy of some of his pre-match death stares, and he knows he’s in deep shit the moment a swearword passes her lips.
