A Champions Road may be unforgiving, but it’s also extremely rewarding! Steven & Metagross have unlocked their true potential through all their hard training!

[hoenn-champion-daigo]

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, I been working on some stuff :3 making some more Wallace and Steven perler art and working on some animal crossing things which I will share once everything is finished, but I just wanted to share this video real quick because one, I absolutely love Sootopolis' theme and it should be appreciated, but this remix of it is extremely amazing! The artist did an amazing job with it, and it is definitely one of my favorite pokemon town remixes

Also, enjoy these random and silly pictures of Steven and Wallace <3 thank you everyone on here for being really nice, I appreciate you all so much 💚🩵

How big were the land bridges your Magma created?

Uhhh. Pretty significantly big. I tried scribbling them in on a map of Hoenn. There was the big one, and then an island that had non-land bridges (so normal bridges) that connected Sootopolis to the mainland.

[rotom-catalogue]

[Video: A livestream of Sootopolis’s contest hall. The lights are focused on a man making his entrance.]

[Keigan is dressed in a black leather vest with a Klawf’s claw embroidered on the back. His hair is a spiky mess behind him. Around his wrists and neck, jewelry made of gold and glass catches the spotlight and sends tiny rainbows scattering around him. He takes a deep breath. The stage is completely silent.]

[Klawf is released from it’s ball. Keigan crouches down to give it a reassuring pat on the head as his Rotom Phone flies out of his pocket, stopping in midair to snap a picture before landing in his hand with a familiar trill.]

[“Alright, Klawf. Just like we practiced. Power Gem!”]

[On command, Klawf raises it’s claws, summoning six glowing crystals from the ground with a powerful cry. Beams of energy form between them, creating a border around the team that spins and rapidly expands as it lowers to the ground.]

[Keigan smiles, then tosses his phone into the air. “Electric Terrain!”]

[Six streaks of lightning fan out, crashing into the gems and forming a web of electricity with Rotom at the top. The phone is abandoned, falling safely back into Keigan's hand as Rotom assumes its basic form. Now encased in a cage of gems and lightning, Keigan raises his hand in the air, looks to Klawf with a grin, and then closes his fist.]

[A sandstorm kicks up, obscuring the trio in mere moments. From the bottom, ghostly blue flames start to rise, soon enveloping the sandstorm in the shape of a flower bud.]

[“Metal Claw! Thunderbolt!”]

[The flaming bud opens, and lighting peals out with a resounding crack. The light of Power Gem streaks out in six glowing beams, whirling around before finally settling down between the flaming petals. Keigan’s voice is barely audible through the chaos.]

[The dust settles, and the light begins to fade. In the center of the stage is Keigan, crouched down with his fist to the floor, with Klawf striking the same pose next to him. Klawf’s claw is encased in shining metal, sparking with the blue electricity of a Rotom. Around them, what remains of the sand drifts slowly to the floor, revealing a spiraling bloom made of glass surrounding them.]

[Tempered by fire and illuminated by crystals, it’s a breathtaking sight, but the routine isn’t over yet. Keigan stands up, opening one hand to the sky and looking at Rotom with a smile.]

[“Sunny Day.”]

[Rotom flies into the air. A bright light from the heavens surrounds him, beaming down upon the glass.]

[The sunlight casts millions of tiny refractions through the glass spiral and across the room, bathing it in multicolored light. In the center of it all, Keigan stands breathing heavily, grinning like he’d never felt so alive. Klawf proudly raises its claws as Rotom descends, both cheering and buzzing excitedly around Keigan. The camera zooms in as looks up to scan the audience, spotting someone and blowing a kiss into the crowd. The video ends as the camera backs up to show his glass blossom in all its glory.]

safe to say it went pretty well

[koffing-time]

[A video, from the quality, angles and cutting it’s probably a recording of the livestream that was broadcasted on TV

Tix is walking out onto the stage, their outfit is an elaborate mixture between typical flashy contest costumes and the relaxed styled outfits often worn by punks. They wear a flowing top made from some shiny silvery fabric that scatters the light as well as a purposefully torn black and purple skirt and heavy boots. The laces seem to be made from metal and also reflect the light. Their semi-long hair is coloured in black at the front and white at the back. The black part is loose and flows around their face, the white part is tied into a high ponytail. Curiously, they are carrying an electric guitar which has a drapion design. Behind Tix are walking a Toxicroak and a Toxtricity. Both are dressed similarly in a punk outfit. The Toxtricity isn’t wearing much that could be considered a costume, except pants that fit loosely around it’s legs. It is coloured in black but has been adorned with golden lightningbolts made from a similar material to Tix’ top. The Toxicroak is wearing a denim vest with glittering and shining applications and it’s Horn is pierced with 2 metal rings. It is also wearing black training pants like they are common with people who train fighting types. When the Toxicroak turns around to give the Toxtricity a fist bump, a Koffing-Motif on the back of the vest becomes visible. They head towards their designated spots. The Toxtricity is standing to the left part of the stage while the Toxicroak is heading to the middle. Tix is standing to the right of Toxicroak at a microphone.

Tix grabs the microphone, takes a deep breath and practically screams into it “GOOOOD DAY TO YOU ALL SOOTOPOLIS! I AM TIX, THOSE TWO ARE BASIL AND POPPY, AND TOGETHER WE ARE! COLORLESS TOXIN! I KNOW WHAT YOU WANT, AND I KNOW WHAT WE WANT! YOU WANT TO SEE A SPECTECULAR SHOW! AND WE WANT TO HAVE FUN! SO WE WILL JUST DOOOO BOTH!!!”

Tix takes a deep breath, pausing. The crowd is baffled for a second, then erupts into cheering, though there have been more exited audiences yet.

“AS YOU GUESSED, WE ARE HERE TO MAKE SOME MUSIC!!! WE’RE GONNA PLAY YOU GUYS AN ORIGINAL SONG CALLED “THALLOUS SULFATE”! AND ROXIE, IF YOU’RE WATCHING FROM YOUR STINKING DARK BASEMENT! YOU WERE RIGHT! I DID COME BACK TO THE MUSIC!”

Tix is taking a few steps back and strum the guitar, which results in a loud chord and a change in the lighting. Tix voice can still be heard in the video, they are apparently wearing a small microphone as well. Their voice has become shrill. They shriek “BASIL! OOOOVERDRIIIIVE! POP! CORROSIVE GAAAS!”

Poppy leans towards the microphone, inflating his throat pouch, tapping it with his claws which result in an unexpected sound that reminds of a bass drum. He is playing a fast rhythm, carefully inflating and deflating his throat pouch to create different pitches and sounds. He then opens his mouth to releases a cloud of gas that pours over the stage. This is the moment Basil strums her chest strings, releasing a large wave of electric energy that surges through the gas, lighting it up from inside. The camera moves purposefully to show the stage from below. The Band now looks like giants, standing in a wild thunderstorm, their flashy clothes reflecting the light into the crowd.

The trio is playing a very fast and heavy tune for another minute with Tix singing before they give new commands to their Pokémon. The music is slowly evolving into a wild solo on Tix guitar before they scream an unexpectedly high pitched finale to the verse and gesture towards Poppy and Basil.

Now, the electric type moves a bit to stand directly behind the Toxicroak, this time plucking at her electrically charged hair. A slow moving light wave emits from her head, almost shining through Poppy. The Fighting type blows his throat pouch up, larger and larger until he grabs the microphone and lets out a deep guttural croak that fits very well to the music that is played. Tix is now playing more of a supportive melody and is headbanging on their side of the stage. Basil is playing an equally supporting bass tune, still sending out electric waves in a rhythmic pattern to Poppys growling. The camera is slowly flying around the band, capturing different angles of the lightshow. The crowd has started dancing and cheering at this time.

After the solo, the band resumes the song with the chorus. At the end of it Tix gives new gestured commands to their Pokémon.

Still in Rhythm, the fighting type gives the drumming a break to concentrate on the next move. Basil also stops for a moment and only Tix’ guitar music is filling the arena. Then, suddenly, Poppy punches heavily into the ground and with a loud crack, synched with the music, a stone edge bursts forth from the ground directly below Basil who casually balances on the tip, now, starting to play again. It is a heavy and fast bass solo. Tix has now stopped playing and is dancing over the stage with Poppy who is drumming a slow supporting rhythm now, both are heavily headbanging.

At the end of Basils solo, Tix gives another command while they now resume their guitar play and also starting to sing a last chorus.

While they are performing, the Pokémon on stage move into a new position. While the Toxicroak climbs up the boulder, Basil jumps down from it while simultaneously throwing a load of purple shining needles into the air. Before they can land on the ground, Poppy jumps up into the air, a flurry of blows reaching all over the stage, shattering every single needle and covering the stage in purple glittering dust. Meanwhile Tix and Basil have moved right next to each other, Tix has started playing on Basil while the Toxicroak has reached over to use the Guitar in a spectacular finale.]

I think it went pretty well! Whoa, I am BREATHLESS, that was exhausting. But I made the qualifiers, let’s FUCKING GOOOOO! Also biiiig thanks to @appeallove who… helped me secure this footage from the organisers to post here! With a bit of luck, I’ll get the recording of the next performance as well!

Edit ooc: i was listening mostly to GRAVITATIØNAL SINGULARITY and Blut aus Nord while writing this, so this is kinda the style i imagined, maybe with a tiny bit more punk influences
