There's some kind of Team Plasma sitcom running in my head on a regular basis

[lovenpeace-pkmn]

//waitj hold the phone i don't think i remembered to post this on tumblr. here's rood, plasma driftveil's leader resident weird old man

[licensed2faint]

💬 Former Sage Rood

He... I think he was the one who wanted N to beat up Ghetsis after Ghetsis showed his true colors, so he's chill.

I remember him talking about how Ghetsis konda fucked everyone over, and I'm willing to forgive people who were lead astray. Y'know I still think having joined Plasma was messed up, but Ghetsis was a hell of an ekans oil salesman.

it's so funny how forgotten team plasma's seven sages are compared to every other evil team's admins. people only remember zinzolin exists because he interacts with colress in the manga even though he shows up more than colress does in BW2. rood doesn't even have a tag autofill on tumblr. the other four are treated as completely interchangeable if people even remember the sages exist at all. i've literally never seen someone mention ryoku

[heroftruth]

I think the thing though about that alignment is that its lawful in a perfect world. She’d rather follow the law if its what is morally good yes but if it isnt or needs to be bent/broken to do what is right that’s what she is going to do.

The law only works if it follows good and she’s seen interpol and Unova police not even try to enforce it when it came to Plasma. She’ll also support and standup for the Plasma members that were loyal to N and their efforts in Driftveil. Did they break laws? Yes they were part of an organization trying to over throw the entire league system. But she knows they were doing what they though was right and their hearts were in the right place.

So anyone remember the seven sages (Not including Ghetsis) and how Zinzolin basically mogged all of them by actually getting a minor story role and not one, but two overworld sprites. The fact that GAMEFREAK made a whole new overworld sprite for Zinzolin just for the post game and not single new overworld sprite for Rood, the other that also gets a minor story role, is kinda foul and while I love Zinzolin with literally all of my heart, the other sages deserve some love too so.

B2W2 style sprite edits for Rood and the gang (Plus Zinzolin's post game sprite for comparison)

And just a extra for the silly snow guy himself

[oncillamoltres]

did you know that all of team plasma's sages sans ghetsis are named after colors. however in the games rood (named after red) wears yellow, and giallo (named after yellow) wears red. this haunts and vexes me

[updates-from-po-town]

The other six plasma sages were kinda fanatic at one point or another, if you find matching offices full of philosophy, thats probably theirs.

Rood is kinda cool, the others have gone quiet. But if you find Zinzolin's office, fuck it up with extreme prejudice. For Opelucid city.

🫡 AYE AYE

Not the best but, here's the summary of BW2 of this AU (I'll go by Protag Rosa for this)

Wall of Text Warning

The story is probably altered, but mostly the same (kinda)

By the time of BW2 begins, N was defeated by Hilbert (Protag of BW1) but he turned it down. Finally he has a goal to pursue which he's away from region for a while

By then, he was challenged by Iris and lost the battle. Resulting he was stepped down as a champion and now currently living in Driftveil City (Specifically the building when you obtain Zorua) and created a small organization protecting Pokémon with his sisters as his assistant. Still maintaining a close relationship with Alder

During the intro and until Pre-Nimbasa City is mostly the same. Rosa and Hugh go to adventure, collecting gym badges, and encounters with men/women in in masks claimed themselves as Neo Team Plasma while being assisted by Hugh and several people in the process, meets Iris, and Encounters a man in lab coat named Colress.

By the time Rosa arrived in Nimbasa City, she encounters a man with Christmas Tree hair which she's recognize him as N. Son of Alder and the Pokémon Whisperer (People dubbed him due to ability to understand Pokémon).

After chatting for a while she meets Hugh and introduces him to N (Hugh is a fan of him)

Eventually they encounters Neo Plasma, battle them. Which N notices there's anger in Hugh's eyes which he thinks that Hugh probably have a history with Plasma.

After he battle Hugh finally opens up about what happened 2/3 years ago about his little sister's Purrloin was stolen by Plasma for "Liberation Purposes".

N decides to help him to find his Purrloin and Hugh is extremely grateful for that.

When they reached Driftveil City, N takes them (the same building where he creates his organization) to the building and introduces them of his organization and explains of their purposes. But Hugh finds out that several members of them are former Team Plasma (includes sage Rood)

Bewildered of this, he asks N why which he explains that they are actually believes that Pokémon deserved to be freed from bad humans which he agrees of that. But that doesn't mean that not all humans are bad.

After some explanation, Hugh calms down and reach understanding with N. He left the place to train with his Pokémon. Rosa remembers that there's a gym in the town, so she parts with N for a while.

Sometimes later, after local tournament on PWT, they meet again with N and Hugh notices a Neo Plasma grunt runs towards to the harbor. He decides to go after him despites Colress warning. Rosa, Cheren go after him. Leaving N and Colress behind.

During that time, Colress introduces to him and asks about his involvement with Ghetsis. Surprised by the question and ask how Colress know about it. He reveals that he met him few months ago and can't help that N and Ghetsis are so much alike, but he assures him that Ghetsis is not N's Father in Blood.

N asks him that he's involved with Team Plasma and he answers some other way around. But he told him that the only think he cares about is the Pokémon's true potential. Colress plead to him not to tell to anyone and N relucantly agrees.

Sometime after, Rosa, Hugh, and Cheren returns after the ship flew away, N told them that he has a thing to attend and they part ways for now.

From there until Pre-Opelucid remains he same.

Gotta finish this later, feel free to correct this or whatever.

Oh this is so cool!

I actually had a different idea and planned to make N become the Champion (since he's been training with Alder ever since he was young to take this position), but I really like the way you've taken the story!

(Still making my way through B&W2 so I'm not completely caught up on events yet...)

But like I've stressed before, all interpretations are welcome!! I love the way you manage to weave the characters & their interactions in, and am excited to hear the rest :D

"Little sister." Ghetsis looked angry; her mom said it was just because his face was frozen like that, and it was rude to stare, but Bryelle privately thought he was angry anyways. Besides, only half of his face didn't move; the other half was twisted into an ugly scowl as he regarded her. "Sage Rood informs me that you have been visiting my son."

"Y-yes, I, um, we p-played--"

"Speak plainly, or shut up," he snapped, and she flinched.

"Sorry. Lord Ghetsis. Sorry," she said, shaking. She clasped one arm with the opposite hand, trying to stop moving. She couldn't do anything right around him; it was like he was constantly looking for an excuse to find some fault in her. It was hard not to freeze up, or collapse entirely.

"That's a good girl." His face curled into a smile, but she didn't like it. "I'm told he's been speaking to his caretakers more; it's good for him to have a playmate his own age. It's regrettable that his purity must be disrupted in order for him to be king of humanity, but you are... adequate for the job."

What was she supposed to say? Thank you? Sorry? Bryelle swallowed hard, eyes downcast. "I'll-- do my best."

"See to it that you do, Sister Bryelle." His hand rested on her head, just for a moment. She imagined him lifting her up, fingers digging into her skull, and slamming her into the wall. Crushing the bones of her head like an overripe fruit. Why did her brain make her think of these awful violent things? Again and again, her thoughts ran through the scenario of him killing or maiming her in some awful way.

His hand was gone. She'd lost time again. Her legs felt stiff and locked in place from standing there. He wouldn't do those things. Why? Why was she like this?

Splat, crunch, thud, the broken records in her thoughts played out over and over again. She needed to go to the library; maybe the thoughts would be easier to bear if she wasn't stuck in her own head but in a story.

...I...hope Colress does not know where the safehouse is. I am not sure we are prepared to deal with that.

[zweilousco]

[oncillaphoenix]

shout out to sage ryoku of team plasma. the least developed member of the least memorable group of evil team admins.

[raising-harmony]

Ohhh.... Yeahhhh.... About that sage thing-

Oh Arceus's sake.

Is this about Rood? I bet it's about Rood. We were already suspicious of him.. Or at least Ghetsis was. Gah. I just thought he was being his normal kind of weird, but it turns out he was conspiring the whole time..?

Well. Sure, maybe he knows about the hydreigon stuff, but I was moreso referring to the fact that nobody is aware of Ghetsis's current state anyways. Or the fact that it escaped.

Ahhh. Once the dust settles, Team Plasma's falling out will be huge.. what can we do? Damn it...
