#team mystic leader blanche

[thedevilsruby]

*The leaders meeting Giovanni*

Candela: My fire gives me courage to beat you!

Blanche: I will calculate your every move to beat you.

Spark: I WILL FUCKING DESTROY YOUR BLOODLINE, YOU FUCKING BITCH! AAAAAHHHH

[katchihe]

Blanche, over the phone: I'm breaking up- Spark: I'm pregnant. Blanche: I meant the call, Spark... Spark: Right, sorry, I panicked

[yamperdazzzle]

Im saying this now: im channeling to anyone that doesnt just like pokemon go, but LOVES the characters and want to know and talk about their lore. artist, fic writter or non artist. I wanna follow these kinds of ppl cause i almost feel like im the only one talking about them XDD or probably the algorythm is preventing me from finding them.

[meltangospelhour]

I'm late; but they aren't! Or something. Happy (belated) New Year!

[jadeazora]

A new event featuring Blanche has been announced! It rewards a Lapras wearing a Blanche-themed accessory.

I'm thinking a Team Leader event themed on Instinct and Valor will come later?

Blanche's Dialogue from A Mystic Hero

Taken from Pokeminers

More insight on Blanche! My thoughts after the dialogue:

Encroaching Rockets aside, this will be a comfy little quest to play.

I'm getting the vibe that the other quests will also highlight the fact that a leader can't do everything on their own.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_0_1 TEXT: Ah. %PLAYERNAME%. My apologies—I didn’t see you there. I’ve been preoccupied with completing my latest research report.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_0_2 TEXT: Early findings are promising, and I’m eager to discuss the results with Professor Willow.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_0_3 TEXT: But I must admit I’m having the slightest difficulty sourcing materials for the next step.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_0_4 TEXT: I’ve been so absorbed that I haven’t found a moment to shoo off the Team GO Rocket Grunts nearby. What’s more, they appear to have increased in number.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_0_5 TEXT: Nevertheless, these are my issues to resolve. What can I help you with today? It’s rare for you to stop by.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_0_6 TEXT: Professor Willow suggested you check on me? Well, I appreciate the thought, but it’s quite unnecessary.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_0_7 TEXT: Everything is under control here, so please, feel free to focus on your own studies. Now, where to source additional Berries...

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_1_0 TEXT: Hm? I’m certain these Pinap Berries weren’t here earlier. And you’ve returned, %PLAYERNAME%? Then I suppose this was your doing.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_1_1 TEXT: You didn’t need to trouble yourself, but this does take one thing off my to-do list. Curious about how I’ll use them?

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_1_2 TEXT: As you may know, my field of study includes Pokémon Evolution.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_1_3 TEXT: I’m currently investigating whether feeding a Pokémon various Berries immediately prior to it evolving has any influence on its physiology.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_1_4 TEXT: Speaking of which, the next step of this project is to see a Pokémon evolve. I’ll need to be on my way so I can locate one that’s ready.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_1_5 TEXT: Let’s continue our discussion another time, %PLAYERNAME%.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_2_0 TEXT: Did it occur to you to evolve your Pokémon because of what I said earlier, %PLAYERNAME%? Thank you.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_2_1 TEXT: You’ve saved me quite a bit of time. I now have just about everything I need to get back on track.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_2_2 TEXT: The end goal of my research? To learn more about Pokémon, of course. There’s no end to that endeavor, as Professor Willow might say.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_2_3 TEXT: On a personal level, I’d be satisfied if my research led to more insight on Lapras.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_2_4 TEXT: Lapras are able to understand human speech and are very intelligent. Their intellect and good nature are why I have one as my partner Pokémon.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_2_5 TEXT: Yet to the best of our knowledge, they do not evolve. I’d like to understand why.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_2_6 TEXT: I’ve been working on hypotheses as to why some Pokémon are able to evolve while others are not, but that is a far longer-term project.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_2_7 TEXT: Perhaps I speak from a place of bias, but I think you’d do well to have a Lapras accompany you on your travels too, %PLAYERNAME%.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_3_0 TEXT: I hope you and Lapras make all manner of discoveries together, %PLAYERNAME%—just like the discoveries you’ve helped me make today.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_3_1 TEXT: Thanks to your timely assistance, I can share my report far earlier than I initially anticipated.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_3_2 TEXT: You’ve shown me today why Professor Willow always calls you his hero.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_3_3 TEXT: You’re an observant friend and Trainer who has a knack for sensing when others are in need, even if they don’t see it themselves.

RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_blanche_apr23_3_4 TEXT: I suppose that makes you my hero too, %PLAYERNAME%.

They have a very cool and sweet nature. Like most of the fandom suspected, they get Marianas Trench-deep into their work. Their quiet confidence that stops short of being cocky is also endearing. I still remember when many in the fanbase assumed Blanche was more quiet and insecure. I'm glad that isn't canon. Blanche actually gives me secret gremlin vibes.

Encroaching Rockets aside, this will be a comfy little quest to play. It'll be interesting to see Blanche's body language alongside of this. (I'll try and record it.)

I'm getting the vibe that the other quests will also highlight the fact that a leader can't do everything on their own.

they're definitely not common, but there are games with canonically nonbinary human characters, and there are games where you can PLAY AS canonically nonbinary human characters, either because nonbinary is an option in the character creator somehow or because the pre-existing character that you play is nonbinary. i'm going to list some that i already know about; feel free to add on if you have more examples.

in story of seasons: a wonderful life, the 2023 remake of harvest moon: a wonderful life and harvest moon: another wonderful life, you can choose from three sets of pronouns when creating your player character at the start. selecting they/them makes your character nonbinary -- other characters will refer to your character without using gendered terms. your character is a human (although they are also called a nature spirit at one point -- it's unclear, but it probably just means they're attuned to nature rather than nonhuman).

in apex: legends, one of the playable characters, bloodhound, is nonbinary. as far as i can confirm online (as i'm not familiar with this example myself), they are human.

in undertale, you play as frisk, who is nonbinary. they are explicitly referred to as human in-game.

in deltarune, you play most of the game as kris, who is nonbinary. they are explicitly referred to as human in-game.

in pokémon go, the team mystic leader blanche and ultra recon squad representative rhi are both referred to with they/them pronouns by other characters during some special research cutscenes (although these are infrequent). blanche is definitely human, although i'm not familiar enough with the ultra megalopolis lore to know if rhi also counts. you can also customize your player avatar's body shape without gendered limitations (there is no actual gender selection in the game after the avatar overhaul).

So I think I already established that Spark ( the Go team leader) is from Johto in my au and I assume I kinda placed the other two leaders in regions already, but, I think I wanna rework something a tiny bit.

So, again, Spark is from Johto, cause I thought it would be fun for him to be in the region where eggs were first introduced in the franchise.

I think Blanche would be interesting as someone who is Kanto-Sinnohian, with roots in Alola. Kanto-Sinnohian because I think it's a interesting contrast to Spark being from Johto. Kanto being the more technological/ industrial to Johto's more cultural mythos. Sinnohian cause that's where Prof. Rowan is, who also researched pokemon evolution, like team mystic. Where exactly Blanche was born and raised I'm not sure tho. Finally, the Alolan roots only because I feel like it's such a contrast to Blanche's general demeanor.

Candela is pretty hard to justify given her pokemon aren't pokemon that's native to Unova until bw, and I imagine her probably getting involved with Prof.Willow and the other leaders a bit before then, but the vibe I'm feeling is that she's Unova-Paldean( though she was born and raised in Unova) Ironically, this kinda the odd one out, being the only one that isn't from one of the Japan based regions, but I also think that doesn't affect her. Or at least she doesn't let it affect her. I do think the potential language barrier might be interesting ( they all speak English, but maybe for Spark it's like a second language or something, idk). Given how in my au, Team Go Rocket isn't really a thing, I gotta brainstorm what to do with the likes of Arlo and his relationship with Candela. Still bad like in canon but what's really different here.

I already have a story in mind for Spark: street orphan, was in the wrong crowd for a bit, almost joined team rocket but didn't, knows of Kenji and Aiko personally. The biggest vibe I get from Blanche, at least for this au because I'm not too familiar with the fanon for them, is that they grew up pretty wealthy? Again, just the vibe, it's probably the blue, but that's my point of view. Candela, in my eyes, wasn't as well off as Blanche but not in the sake situation as Spark was in. This could change in the future but yeah. The vibes so far( Spark is the only one that I'm pretty concrete in)

The Go Leaders in the Legendverse are definitely more in the background than anything, but I feel bad for saying they exist in this au of mine and that they're Chosens and then not have them do anything. Even if it's not a lot, I think it's worth trying to come up with some stories for them, you know?

[frostspoken]

@schattenfanger​ asked: ❛ why did you help me? ❜

“Did i need a reason?”

They probably sounded irritated, not helped by the new wound on their arm, Long scratches that dripped crimson down the length of a odd scar that curled in loops upwards and disappeared under their sleeve. They’d received it from where they’d bore an attack from a furious shadow nidoran denoted by the glint in it’s red eyes. They couldn’t blame the pokemon, they knew full well it was in pain, a lot more pain then they would ever understand. Besides it wasn’t the first time they’d been injured and it wouldn’t be the last, it was worth helping this kid (Something about him made them wonder if they recognized him despite knowing they’d never met him before-), Still they paid no mind to the injury and it’s slight ache as their vaporeon sent the nidoran flying with a hydro pump that blasted out of her mouth and left it in a state easy to catch.

Using their good arm, they tossed a ultra ball and watched the subtle rock of the ball, 1, 2, 3 before it clicked and they felt. For the moment, they could relax, it was odd, that wound of theirs had already stopped bleeding even as they retrieved the ball and slipped it into a small bag at their hip. Notably separate from their other pokeballs

“You should be more careful around here, There’s more like that one dotted around most of the region.”

It was only then they realized they hadn’t even said who they were and got just slightly sheepish but only slightly

“My name is blanche, Blanche illiol, I’m the leader of team mystic apart of the go initiative.”

Blanche: What’s your favorite color? Corsen: Stop asking stupid questions. Ask me something logical and mature. Blanche: How many moles of sodium bicarbonate are needed to neutralize 0.8ml of sulfuric acid at STP? Corsen: My favorite color is pink.
