#traumatized (/j it was kinda funny ngl)

[lolipoptheclown]

I have been reminded once again of how oblivious I am because of my aroace-ness

Sister: "Why did they make it so the sweater comes off of the Bob plushie? That could go so wrong."

Me: *Confused for a moment.*

...

Me: *Slowly realizes what that meant*

[echolepzy]

hm yes i enjoy reading your opinions, nice opinions you have. i will now share my own because that’s probably how humans converse or something idk /j

ship? i’ve really only seen isafrin and sifloop, and personally i enjoy sloop but like as a weird not romantic but secret 74th option that they invented one afternoon at 11:56am. isafrin is a classic, always chefs kiss. yes very ship very nice very good will read fics of them being dramatically torn apart to the point of insanity. i just like the classic sloop “i fucking despise you wanna cuddle” dynamic. better if loop is human and isabeau is there to break up their arguments. cuz it’s funny

my favorite silly has gotta be loop. they suck i hope they die in a supernova. sif is a very very close second, and my third would deffo be bonnie. they are a child who brought a child here. i think the only reasons loop is my favorite rn is 1) loop plush THAT I GOT yippee it doesn’t arrive until next year but. i’ll have it eventually and i will treasure it. forever. i’ll be buried with it. 2) funnysillyjokespun person traumatized x32 edition

trauma has gotta be the fact that sif almost destroyed the world with his abandonment issues. like dude…. which also includes mal du pays. the embodiment of homesickness itself is here to fuck shit uppp let’s go. i also really like time loops so really just the entire time loop situation(basically the whole game) especially when there’s fics about it post-canon. those are so fun.

THE LOST COUNTRY yessss i love this thing. a lot of my headcanons revolve around a fic that i thought was really cool that dove deep into its culture (fic here https://archiveofourown.org/works/56032411 i think). some of the things i remember and liked are bonds being expressed through nicknames(im like 85% sure that sif calls them all by nicknames but changes to calling some by full names in the game but i might be delusional so). i just really liked a lot of the culture deep dive in that fic. i also imagine them being rather technologically advanced in comparison to other countries, since like all that knowledge about stars. i think it’s also possible that there were still people who could perceive colour on that island(not majority, maybe like 20% of the population). and y’know how vaugarde is fantasy france? north island is fantasy greenland. just imo

leading off of that- poteria is fantasy america(so. they use fuck as curse :]) and idk what mwudu would be. i think it would be fun though, to have the various countries be fantastical irl countries, and is also supported by evidence with ka bua being fantasy japan. so yeah this is actually canon now.

and ngl i really wanna cosplay siffrin someday- like, i can’t this halloween cuz i already have a sick asf dragon costume in the works but maybe a thing in the future. maybe i could even do winged sif to make moneys worth of the wings im using for my dragon costume. maybe i’ll do it for next ren faire one day-

(i wish i had a sibling to have the loop-siffrin dynamic with… alas, as i am a lonely child and have none. i killed them in the womb /j)

-same mutual if you couldn’t tell (guess who lol)

First of all *absorbs that fic link* I'm reading this now thank you

Secondly fuck yeah Loop plushie buddies!! I'm sharing mine with my little brother since he's the undeniable Loop kinnie but the sticker is mine and it's going on my laptop

The wiki says Vaugarde is based on France, Ka Bue is based on Japan, the Forgotten Country is based on Guadeloupe (but insertdisc5 likes seeing other interpretations too), Poteria is based on Italy (which was my headcanon before I even saw it on the wiki lol), and Mwudu isn't really based on anything (I headcanon Germany for some reason, but also not? idk it's complicated, my main Mwudu headcanon is that they have this whole deal with fire). As a creature of low intelligence who always fails geography I kinda just stick with what the wiki tells me XD Also, Ka Bue is on the other side of the world but the rest of the countries are closer together, I think that's kinda interesting to think about-

Finding parts for my cosplay is proving to be a huge pain in the ass, right now I'm just settling for "close enough" and I'll try to customize the parts when I get them- Agh the hat is probably the hardest right now ;w; I wonder if they'll let me bring a dagger to my vocational school... My friend on the bus has actual knives with her every day so I don't see why I can't have a costume dagger (a real one would be cooler but I don't think my family would trust me with it).

GRAY COME AND SAVE THE WOMAN YOU LOVE!!!!!!!!

he got her out of a panic attack mHMmMHH

Brady protecting Gigi from Knox ToT its so sweet

ODETTE WORKED FOR TOBIAS l IUYTFRGYBH

"He was the best and worst man in all times"

AJHUGYTFRG NOT THE SPY IN GIG'S NECKLACE

AHHHHHHHHHHH

wait... rohan's parents put him in the ocean when he was 5?? and couldnt swim?? thats a literal child... omg what.

he's brushing her hair<3 without all the weird and emotionally traumatic feelings in the air it would've been cute

i love how he asks multiply times if she wants to do a different dare. gotta love a man who respects you<3

HOL UP HE CUT HER HAIR??? SAV DEARY, OMG-

ngl sav in braids will always have my heart, but short hair savannah isnt that bad either..

GAH these emotions ajhbgvftcdrctfvg

Rohan gets Savannah. He understands what she's feeling. Points to Rohan.

YES SAVANNAH!!! WOO! THROW THAT GLASS ROSE!!!!! FEEL THE RAGE INSIDE OF YOUUUUUUUUUUUU

honestly the truth or dare thing with savannah and rohan is keeping on hooked tbh. for a while i read the book but i read it really slowly... tbh savrohan is keeping me going (and rohan in general tbh)

anyways have a lovely day<3

[m1ckeyb3rry]

LMFAO maddie the third person to the link we are the new tabieitaken but FR it’s weird but kinda funny like I guess we all saw it coming but kaneshiro purposely adding him in to add a realistic factor to BLLK always sends me yeah he’s also kinda just there for me for comedic relief mostly

BRO SCOVILLAIN JUMPSCARE

DONPHAN MY GOAT (elephant) also wait I literally remember catching an extra wingull to keep it not evolved (wait I forgot everstones existed er ok wtv I rarely used items that weren’t exp share oops agree pelippers ugly) that’s actually crazy SHSHSH also I LOVE volcarona it’s just so majestic also my brain did gymnastics processing malamar for reason I first thought magcargo then magmar and after reading through the third time (not purposefully because of this but because I skimmed and read it first and now I’m reading while I reply) I’m finally realizing you mean the upside down squid LMFAOOOOOO but MALAMAR im ngl they made it so villainous in the anime but I love it and it’s vibes loppuny is also funny because I had a brief buneary phase at some point in time truly got the vibes on point also YESS eeveelutions duo!!! Jolteons so iconic and I’ve always loved how it’s tail (?) is so different from the other ones and it matches the electric theme so well like they really put their nintendussy into designing it (and the other ones too!!) anyways big fat stamp of approval

MILOTIC SO BASED it’s actually gorgeous also def one of my favs pause imagine you make a side story about chigiri rapidashing racing career and insert yourself as an oc HAHAHA (im like half serious) also back to eeveelutions the umbreon jolteon duo >>>> that sort of black yellow aesthetic looks so good also wait i do get the mawile vibes lowk its giving slay…flygons also a goat yk on that note I’ve always kinda questioned wtf trapinch is LMAOO

Wait that’s hilarious eeveelutions giving otoya trauma because bro got the least badass presenting one LMFAOOO also imagine jolteon and plusle adding to karasus electric type trauma HAHAHA (the jb audio has me crying too why are those memes so iconic)

Wait also PURSUIT CHPATER ONE OUR commentary coming shortly

- Karasu anon

HELPP tabieitaken reincarnated fr 😭🙏🏻 no i agree like honestly it’s not a surprise that igaguri was put in?? kaneshiro is NOT giving him up just yet…also side note but that panel of him standing next to noel noa is SO FUNNY like noa just looks so huge and unbothered and igaguri looks so small and dumb it’s giving “my uncle is dropping me off at daycare where i have to do arts and crafts and i no no wanna ☹️”

OMG YAYY i’m glad i got the vibes so on point hehe one thing about me i will be making a fire pokémon team every time /j PLS chigiri x mira childhood friends to separated (while he’s on his journey w mc trio and i’m chilling w the ponytas) to reunited as lovers pursuit au when?? jk jk ofc if i’m in the pursuit verse (and if nagi is taken by pursuit reader) i am zooming my ass over to wherever karasu and otoya are 😩 bro i’ll take EITHER too they’re both soooooo perfect (well except for otoya’s womanizing but considering he’s pretty unsuccessful in the pursuit-verse it’s workable)

apparently according to google the trapinch line is based on antlions?? never seen them before and was vaguely uncomfortable as someone terrified of bugs but yeah checks out

I’M CRYING we’ve got otoya traumatized by the umbreon and karasu traumatized by the jolteon…maybe we’re better off going for yukimiya and hiori or smth HAHAHHA at least they won’t actively be beefing with our teams

[saintobio]

Saint.

Yn's death scene broke my heart. I'm ngl, I didn't cry bc I'm already used to saint level angst but the fact that she just wanted rin to believe her and the way rin was screaming ugh, it's just so tragic that he finally had a wife who he truly loves and it ends this way 💔 for my peace of mind, I'm imagining them living their best life in heaven and having the happy family that they weren't able to start 😭

And rin was so smart for choosing to torture hera and c'ian instead of killing them, he definitely knew how much it would affect them to witness his death. Also, on that note of c'ian and hera being kept in the dungeon, what has happened to demie? Is she staying with the empress or being looked after by someone else?

Also, when 'samu and the knights kneeled in respect for rin and yn, it's kinda sad that she was finally shown some sort of respect by the people of Faren and she wasn't even alive to witness it. I feel like if she didn't eat the berries and rin saved her, everyone would've been able to see that she's not who they thought she was and would definitely have some respect/love for her 😭

This play was so beautifully written Saint. I really do appreciate you taking the time to write this masterpiece bc I can imagine that writing in that language and in a format that doesn't allow for a lot of description, is difficult. Thank you saint, you broke my heart once again and I love you for it. 😂💘

this is just a 6 on saint level angst sdjsjs and yeah there’s no other way to put it — suna knows that his death would be traumatizing to hera and ci’an. the answer to demie is on a previous ask :)

thank u for reading tho 🥺 it was definitely hard since i’m so used to descriptive writing but i’m happy to know that you liked it <3

Anonymous said

what’s totally crazy about the ending is that if the MC had only held out for like 5 minutes, she and rin could’ve been alive together ☹️. i am happy that they get to be together in the afterlife tho. i think it’s kind of a morbidly funny trend in tragedies that if they had just a tiny bit more streets smarts, most of their problems could’ve been solved in like a week. anywho this was a great story, and i think you deserve all the flowers for writing in such a difficult style, and still being able to convey such intense emotions. you truly are amazing at what you do, and i’m very grateful to be a reader!

omg yea ik what u mean !! HAHA when i read r+j for the first time, i got sooo upset like why can’t they wait just a few more mins dammit 😭 and thank u very much for ur sweet words anon <33 i appreciate it sm :’)

oh my god saint that was so good?? it would be wonderful if it was an actual play! you should really make some of your stories actual books people would love them

WAAAAH thank u!! that makes me happy :’) i’m actually glad i turned this old play of mine into a fanfic. i didn’t think anyone would appreciate but yay <33 when i submitted this for my class before, my professor said we can’t have it on stage bc it was too dark gahahaj

“Keep this image with you forever as I reunite with my true love, far away from the spiteful ladies of this household.”

i read the tags for olal but i thought it was just gonna be yn unaliving herself, but when i came to that line i was shook

was rin able to reunite with yn in the afterlife at least where they’re both finally at peace together

I was hoping for Hera and c'ian to die but I guess it was too good to be true 😭 but at least now rin and mc can be happy and free in the afterlife

@andreavasquezz said

Romeo and Juliet moment😝😭😰😭😭😭 that was so sad but I know that they will be reincarnated and reunite and live happily ever after.

Me hoping for Suna and yn getting reincarnated in modern world and finally getting the happy ending they deserve😭

AFTERLIFE IT IS :P but u guys,,,, doesnt this remind u of a certain someone from a zombie apocalyptic world *coughs* maybe they’ll reincarnate again since it’s a common manhwa trope 😹

@sunareign said

… why you gotta do that to me ? i thought zunarin was enough? WHY YOU GOTTA BREAK MY HEART A SECOND TIME?

shut up u love angst u know that :p and i never said ur mans won’t die the second time bsjsjds he never gets a happy ending from me 😹

[m1ckeyb3rry]

LMAO no in between either cute or majestic where are the horses with the goofy ass names at (just an example but imagine someone w a horse named sock)

AHAHAH YEAH compared to karasus otoyas bfb has a lot more crack in it LOL lowk before discovering you whenever I saw crack it was usually like….brainrot crack where the characters would fully be like “OH MY GERD WHAT JN THE SKIBIDI SIGMA” “LMAOO DEEZ NUTS IN YO FACE” which personally had me clicking the close tab button asap I’ll be forever traumatized your crack content is the Goldilocks zone of crack

Imagine instead we just form a bllk au where the entire setting is the same we just bring justice to characters who need it LMAOOO people will be like bllk au? Aren’t they already in bllk?????

I’m fr just waiting to see the end the last few chapters have just been “hmmm who’s getting revived this ch?” Instead of who’s being thrown into the Sukuna fight arena shdgshshs yeah I have NO clue what’s going on tbh I thought higuruma was a confirmed goner alr but ig not??

I wanna see an expansion of the Barou aiku rivalry….like wdym we see them on the same nel team but we never address that??? Cmon…

Also PAUSE SPEAKING OF WE MANIFESTED OUR PRAYERS ANSWERED EGOIST BIBLE V2 RELEASING AFOUND S2 START TIME!!! Will be dropping translations ofc drop your requests here…there’s apparently a new ranking for “top 3 [insert category here]” so I’ll def do that along with any profiles we don’t have

I remember immediately getting rid of moves like leer and growl LMAO ofc if there was an obvious type disadvantage I’d bring appropriate pokemon (like gym leaders) but otherwise it’s kinda just brute forcing my way through with an op pokemon I liked

The way I completely forgot some of the teams you listed already Im gonna have to like copy it and paste it to the side so I can reference it faster shshshs imagine she traded that away and then later was like lmao u scammed me so this is my gyarados gimme the skrelp back /j wait that’s so funny LMAOOOO you fr had that trading business down…but on that note was there demand for phione for a particular reason….like did they just think it was manaphy….bc now that I think about it I fr cannot remember any significance to phione…

Mcs team sparking the whole uprising talk about girlboss!!!! Her exposing the govt plot on live tv stop that’s such a good idea (I’m crying the kids do everything trope is so funny thinking back on the pokemon plot)

No bc I was about to say I definitely feel like something similar happened in the plot (now I distinctly rmr some like clefairy moon tribe ep..?? Trust we’re definitely thinking of the same one) IM CRYING Reo finally getting gallade only for the competition to be over is SUCH a pokemon plot I can fr see it happening in canon like ash runs back asking where everyone is only for the worker to calmly be like “oh it’s over” and ash falls to his knees screaming LMFAOO but I DO RMR THAT we know my memory’s kinda shit though so idk exactly which pokemon ash brought (was it primape??? Idr tbh)

LMAO THE REVERSE OTOYA TEAM I kinda love that the unexpected trips are lowk my fave like you get ready to battle hiori fully expecting like, a Mareep and maybe a lanturn or a azumarill but no metagross and luxray you really cooked crafting mcs team though I could never LOL

AHDHSA gagamaru having no contact info is so funny he runs a elusive ifykyk business yuki having his Alakazam telepathically track him is so real

Nagi tweaking over the aegislash and having an unspoken sort of one sided Karasu rivalry is actually hilarious if this au actually comes into existence I will fr be laughing my ass off in this arc WHIMSICOTT NAGI SO REAL

LOLL fall is hibernation time that’s still only a quarter of the year idk how you do it

Ok time to merge asks before the other one gets too long and then your blog is fr flooded with these

NAH BC STEVEN STONE WAS JUST THE IT BOY/DUDE IG??? I’m ngl I see a lot of Steven fans around too idk there was just something so charming abt him….

Me conveniently forgetting the teams you talked about even after I fr sent in info about said pokemon on that team but hiori embodying “I can fix it” for that ducklett and succeeding and then Karasu losing it like “wtf wdym it can do shit” would be so hilarious

Gyarados being flying never fails to make me scratch my head but wtv it’s pokemon logic but i love lowk inner team pokemon dynamics swanna and nidoqueen having beef LMAOO SWANNA MEETING BAROU IN HELL IS DIABOLICAL LMFAOOOO ig now you know where the pokemon universe gets it roasted fowl dishes from

Im ngl kangaskhan is fr like the otoya of the pokemon world it’s fr just kinda forgotten (by myself too) i totally forgot it can mega evolve LMAOO mega houndoom is fr cool as hell though (imagine mc and Barou got their houndoomite together SHDGSHS) galvantula being the secret ace of the team is so funny i bet everyone’s like “bro u brought this random ass spider” and then proceed to get decked

LMFAOO in your prev response I was fr gonna respond with Pablo’s last name but I couldn’t rmr how to spell it and did not want to look it up so I just left it bc lowk he’s not that relevant generally either I was almost gonna write “ca-“ and just dip

OOOOH LMK WHAT TEAMS YOU END UP CHOOSING

- Karasu anon

well i did know a miniature horse named boytoy KDCBSHSN idk if that quite counts as goofy in the way you were describing but it’s definitely up there in terms of craziness 😭

oh i have definitely seen those kinds of fics and agreed i’m not a huge fan…MY version of crack is just the characters being sassier than usual with each other and ending up in kinda ridiculous situations that are treated as completely normal in-story LMAOO tbh it’s basically just me writing in the comedy genre instead of doing angst/character studies but that doesn’t sound as fun as calling it crack does

HELPP bllk but it’s miraverse au…everyone reading is like “wtf does miraverse mean” BAHAH like no just trust the process your mind will be altered by the way each character is written TRUST

no literally it’s such a reversal from the sukuna fight that i’m just like 🤨 it feels very…not gege…idk like wdym this is the same guy that wrote shibuya?? honestly i wonder if he’s under pressure from his editor or smth to change the story/ending from what he wanted because if so that’s kind of sad

nah because so much could’ve been done w barou and aiku tbh idk why they made lorenzo try so hard to be friends with barou that role could’ve easily and more sensibly been filled by aiku 😭 also OMG NEW EGOIST BIBLE LET’S GOOO pls the top 3 categories are always so funny especially the little snide comments if you happen to translate those def send them in ‼️ and yess hopefully more characters will get profiles!! or the current profiles get updated with more silly stuff

LMAOOO I WAS EXPERIENCED WITH IT i think it was mostly people trying to finish the pokédex?? because you can’t catch or get phione in any way but the manaphy breeding trick so before most people figured that out i was able to get a bunch of cool pokémon in return for my fresh out of the egg level 1 phiones and then other people caught on so the market got saturated and they stopped being in demand 😒 so i had to differentiate myself and started using tms and training them up which worked for a bit but eventually even that stopped working 😓

no because pokémon is INSANE w the kids doing everything trope like wdym the literal champion is telling MY ten year old ass to go and fight a literal god?? is that not their job…anyways yeah i think this method allows for the e4 and all to maintain their notoriety and authority as well as showing the flaws in kids doing everything (because reader is lowkey reckless for confronting the entire govt without a plan and she got lucky that the e4 + gym leaders has smth up their sleeves or else she would’ve been done for) so i like that route a lot!! also the image of reader and houndoom standing there exposing the government to a defeated mr mikage while the camera quality slowly gets blurrier and shakier and right before it disappears into static entirely there’s just a shot of her and houndoom abt to be attacked by govt pokémon and then there’s a region-wide blackout does cook a little i fear

yess it was the mt moon episode!! but ash misty and brock had a researcher w them iirc meanwhile mc trio is literally just the epitome of yolo 😭 they’re honestly like living their best pokémon journey vibes (especially reo and chigiri because nagi does get dragged into reader’s bs with some frequency so he’s not as relaxed as the other two) LMAOAO like while reader and co are fighting corruption and processing grief and enduring trauma mc trio is just fucking around getting gym badges and completing side quests HAHAHA they’re so stupid i love them 🥹 and yeah i think it was his mankey/primeape i forget if it had evolved at that point or not

i think it’s so funny that hiori just wanted nice pokémon to play with and he ended up with a super well balanced team which includes a pseudo legendary, a dragon type, and a prehistoric pokémon revived from a fossil meanwhile otoya wanted a cool strong team and he just has really cute pretty sweet pokémon 😭 although in his defense his pokémon are all really strong as well it’s just a matter of the aesthetics not matching up with the vibe he was hoping to curate 😩

to be honest i used a website that allowed me to input my team and it told me its weaknesses and i just messed around with that until i got to a team that didn’t have any glaring holes!! i’m super happy with it especially because of how unique some of the choices are…like let’s be real how many people are picking DONPHAN for their pokémon ocs 😭

LMAOAOA pokémon au confirming the yuki x gagamaru bestie agenda fr 🤩 nah because lowkey maybe gagamaru’s just in hiding because he’s scared ness will come after him if he becomes a genuine competitor (not a wrong thought to have tbh)

THE AEGISLASH ARC IS SO HILARIOUS like out of context it’s just like “did mira forget what story she’s writing” but when you know what’s happening it’s so so funny especially the way nagi and reader decide to approach it 😭 “oh i GUESS we have to get married for uhhh the plot” “yeah i mean if i HAVE TO i’ll risk my life for you uhhh i mean the plot yeah the plot” (<- two idiots who will one day be madly in love) DNDKLSJDS nagi def wakes up afterwards like “damn dream me is so rizzful good thing i don’t act like that irl because i don’t even like anyone like that especially not y/n 😰” (not that they were really flirty or anything it was more of a “i’ll die for you if that’s what it takes and if it means you live and get to go home then i’ll even do it happily) and then he sees aegislash and is met with the horrifying knowledge that he did in fact try to rizz reader up and furthermore he might actually like her 😩 HAHAA the karasu beef is so funny too because when they’ve first been “isekai’d” reader’s like “yeah ok let’s just follow the plot of the world and get married or wtvr” and nagi’s like “what about karasu 😱” and reader’s like “uh idk what about him” and nagi’s like “aren’t you guys dating won’t he be mad 🤔🫣” which prompts reader to be like that one tik tok sound that’s like “EWWW no he’s like my BROTHER he’s so UGLY this filthy disgusting creature why was he even BORN” (i hope yk what i’m referring to HAHA)

no because steven is literally the ideal man like he’s smart…rich…pretty…strong…talented…shy…sweet…i’m realizing he’s lowkey a nagireo love child but we shall ignore that!!

HAHA to be honest swanna isn’t rlly a great pokémon competitively plus hiori has 0 interest in battling so i can rlly see him taming swanna just by being like “oh ya idrc if you don’t fight” and ducklett/swanna is like “oh fr okay” and decides to just be chill with him (imagine it tweaks when it sees karasu though he’d be SO offended)

swanna and barou #bestiesfortheresties 😜🤩 LMAOAO agreed some pokémon logic is kinda crazy but oh well!! and agreed it’s fun to give the pokémon personalities too!! within reader’s team we have houndoom who’s super loyal and cuddly but also strict w the other pokémon, galvantula who’s really sassy + has a napoleon complex + is besties with houndoom, dragalge who’s mostly rlly shy and keeps to itself but seems to like otoya’s greninja, aegislash who goes from supervillain to mild prankster after getting the beating of its life from houndoom (there’s no beef there but aegislash def has a healthy respect for houndoom and sticks close to gyarados after that), and gyarados who is CONVINCED that it’s still a baby magikarp that should be carried around by reader even though it’s ENORMOUS now (kinda like those huge dogs that try to cram themselves into your lap)

okay because hear me out…baby reader + barou find a really pretty rock when they’re playing so they break it in half to keep as like mementos of each other when they’re apart?? but it turns out to be houndoomite…and in the final battle both reader’s houndoom mega evolved so it kills its iwn brother as well as barou while wearing the proof of reader and barou’s love for each other…the way reader’s love for barou gives her the mental strength to command houndoom to destroy his body (out of respect to him/accepting he’ll never come back) and it also gives houndoom the physical strength to overpower its own brother and put an end to things no matter how hard it is…just thinking yk…haha…😭😭😭😭

LMAAOOA the galvantula downplay always goes crazy especially because a tried and true reader combo is sending out gyarados to use rain dance (100% accuracy for electric moves) and then she returns it so naturally her opponent is like what pokémon could she possibly have that’s scarier than a gyarados but then she sends out galvantula HAHAHA the opponent cracks up but they’re not laughing so hard when galvantula absolutely annihilates them w a combo of sure-hit electric moves and sneaky bug attacks 🤩

according to the wiki it’s cavasoz so that’s what i’m going with…anyways i THINK i have the teams down!! and i managed to avoid repeating any pokémon (more difficult than you’d expect) although if you see any repeats lmk so i can change it!! anyways in this au i’m going w the theory that the gym leaders have diff teams that they use depending on how many badges the challenger has (tbh this might be canon from pokémon generations or smth idk it’s miraverse canon) which is why some of the gym leaders seem noticeably weaker!!
