Steel. For your gayass

Gayass and proud of it, thank you very much!

(source)

Ahhh, this one's difficult--I don't raise steel types normally, but I've read up on quite a few thanks to Amarys! But if I were to make a good steel type team, I'd want to work with my beloved's team and not against it...

I think I've got it!

Perrserker, to start! This one is simply too adorable not too include, and it looks like this kitty can take a good hit and dish it right back out! I could see one being something to fight alongside Rollo--if Rollo sets up Trick Room like a little dear, the two of them can turn the tide of the battle in their favor for sure!

Mawile would be my next pick! This little cutie packs a very strong bite, and not only has Fairy typing to help against any Dragons that might pose some trouble to either team, but some nice defenses of it's own! And it's just so stinkin' cute! The offensive pressure it provides could work in tandem with Vista, in case my beloved wishes to make a nice welcome mat of hazards for someone.

Bronzong would be my next pick, and I love this for one simple reason--they're so variable! It can really force an opponent into a bad situation, don't you think? If it's better at Levitating than resisting heat, then Adware can go as wild as she pleases! But if it resists heat, then it can really make someone eat dirt for underestimating it! Plus, it has a lot of good moves to help the team--Safeguard, Rain Dance to let Sierra have some fun, Hypnosis to put a key target to sleep...really, the possibilities are endless!

Klefki would be my next pick. It's cuteness is second to none, and have you seen how much of a menace this little thing is?! I've had to fight one before! It's one of the few times I've eaten dirt because this thing just won't stop setting up! So naturally, I would want to raise one to utilize those abilities and help my beloved wreak havoc!

Kingambit would be my second to last pick. You see these guys occasionally if you go into the Timeless Woods in Kitakami--these guys are absolute menaces on the battlefield, and I've had the pleasure of battling against some of the wild ones! They're impressive, but if I utilized one? I'd be certain to bring out the best in it! It's offense is second to none, and if I were to leave it toward the back of the team...well~ Let's just say the opponent should be preparing for a very long dirt nap. The offensive pressure would allow my beloved free reign of the battlefield.

This last pick is tough...Metagross is simply one of the most amazing steel types, but I would never want to upstage dear Linux! And as much as Ren has endeared me to Orthworm and their stupid cute faces with no thoughts behind their head, I feel like it's role is easily taken by the other team members. But...since my beloved does have Adware, I think it'd be only fitting to pick Alolan Sandslash to compliment it, no? And adding some ice into the mix, I think would truly round out the team.

a team of water types please :3

omastar (starter; gift from mom/the cinnabar lab probs in this AU), gastrodon (west sea), cramorant, tatsugiri (droopy), veluza, and...quaquavel!

in this AU ren would've kept and/or reunited with their original uva academy forced starter.

[ragnarokhound]

For the au ask game!

OKAY I wanted specifically to get to the pokemon au from the ask you sent, it's been cooking a bit so it's time to see what comes out of the oven, so... @azol-otl ty for the ask!

Crossover au's are all about the fused worldbuilding for me and speculating on how characters from universe A would fit into universe B heehee hoohoo - and for Batfam especially it's fun to think about the equivalent of their roles as vigilantes! What kind of people have the same level of celebrity, the same sideways seeking of justice?

Naturally this leads you to the gym leaders because a) it's the most fun and b) they are like. Quasi-law enforcement/educators/professional athletes depending on how you try to translate the innate child's perspective on the pokemon universe into something that makes sense as an adult lol ilu pokemon. [insert 'compels me though' gif here]

SO with this in mind, here's 5 fun facts (that are mostly backstory lmao) from a jaytim pokemon au I would write

I'm deeply ill about pokemon so this one goes under the cut lol:

Jason Todd used to be the Champion. He won the role after Dick Grayson quit a year or two before (Dick had been getting older and chafing under the League rules - meaning he'd been chafing under how Bruce ran the League) and was a fierce competitor who didn't believe in going easy on anyone. His Houndoom was a force to be reckoned with, and despite running a mostly Dark-type team, his Honchkrow cleaned up anyone thinking their Fighting-types could sweep. He looked after the League and Gotham with a cocky, self-assured attitude and the win record to back it up. .

Jason disappeared suddenly at the age of 15. Many assumed him dead, after a Rocket (Or whatever Gotham themed gang name we want to go with lol could be Team Joker) bombing in the area he'd last been seen, but he's officially declared missing. Bruce Wayne took back the duties of interim Champion as he once did for Dick Grayson, but he's not quite the mentor he once was. It's obvious he's grieving, and that he doesn't want to mentor any more twelve year olds. Dick signed up to be a Gym Leader shortly after this, returning from his trip about a year early to help out in the chaos following Jason's disappearance. .

Enter Tim Drake. Tim's gym challenge wasn't all that interesting in the circuit at first; he had a rocky start and had to retake a few gym challenges. He wasn't exactly sweeping on his first try every time like Jason had done. He didn't have the meteoric rise that caught the Champion's attention early, didn't get one-on-one mentorship or face-to-face meetings, cautionary advice and congratulations all rolled into one from Bruce Wayne himself - but Tim had patience and grit, and he paid attention. He was gunning for the Championship, and it wasn't just so he could prove himself. Team Rocket/Joker was still out there, and Bruce needed all the help he could get. He was always better for Gotham when he had a Robin. .

Dick had been nicknamed Robin for his all-Flying-type team and especially his Natu-then-Xatu; Jason followed up with his Murkrow-then-Honchkrow; Tim's Rookidee was one among many (Robin-esque pokemon were popularized by Dick and the trend remains through Tim's day) so he wasn't considered a possible Robin successor until it was a Corvisquire and he was about to face Dick Grayson himself, a badge away from Victory Road. By then, Tim and his team were a well-oiled machine (he runs mostly Steel-types lol but also Normal-types for the unexpected adaptability and the 'underestimate my rattata i dare you it's in the top peRCENTAGE--' of it all. FEAR.), and his loss-record had all but frozen while his win-record ticked higher and higher. .

Shit finally goes down about three years after Tim has become Champion and all but bullied Bruce into mentoring him (he basically said 'if you don't watch me, i'll go find Team Rocket/Joker on my own' and triggers all of Bruce's child endangerment traumas simultaneously) and the mysterious Rocket/Joker leader Red Hood shows up, bringing the gang out of the shadows in pursuit of a hidden agenda. Identity shenanigans and "wait is that a Houndoom? But he's only been using Ghost-types, it CAN'T be..." and heel-face turns abound. .

(BONUS FACT: Something something, Jason went into deep cover with Looker or whoever he is, that Interpol guy from X & Y (WAIT. LOOKER MIGHT ACTUALLY BE TALIA AL GHUL IN THIS AU HOHOHO), infiltrating the Rocket/Joker gang and going public as Red Hood is the first step in the last phase of the sting. Cue a million tense Jaytim interactions in which Tim is legitimately trying to take Red Hood down and Jason desperately tries to shake him so that he doesn't do anything that forces Jason to blow his cover. There is at least one 'tugged into a tight space to hide them both from the actual bad guys, "wait, did you just HELP me...?" "Think whatever you want, babybird"' interaction because I am a slut for the first sprinkles of a redemption arc that is rife with UST fufufu)

FFS Sharena

Forget the "uwu Momo was said to be an equal to the 10 Dudes" he was part of them, and erased because he was slaughtering people too much and loved to garden a lot

"She imbued this weapon -

that is totally just a normal weapon not a living corpse made with the essence of a being that was created by the goddess and wielded the purest/rawest form of magic that was passed in that being's blood and is basically what you call "Crest"

-with her magic and now can use it as her own"

Watch as the next Mary-Ann alt will reveal that if the relic reacts to her, it's not because of her crest (and the fact that the relic is still someone reacting to their own blood) but because she's just so badass that she can animate this chunk of metal and casted a spell on it to make it more OP than an iron sword.

Drawing myself as different characters I share the same MBTI with ( ENTP) and this time it's Leo Valdez. This was really fun to draw so vote which ENTP is next!

[ribesrubrum]

I'm convinced you'd make a good grass gym leader

So how abt grass type

Now here's a type I have some experience with! Well, obviously I simply can't let my dear Sinistcha sit this one out, and it'd be able to provide some good support. And Vivian, oh, she'd be delightful once she's fully evolved! And I can't forget Leavanny either, she's just too precious...

That gives me half a team, but for the rest, I'd want to go with some more balanced partners. Scovillain in particular seems like a good start, and I am fond of it's fiery nature and how boisterous they seem to be! Ludicolo would be a nice addition as well, maybe I could keep one in the back after Scovillain has a chance to shine on the field. And I think to round it all off...

...

Okay, if I wanted to actually round off the entire team, I'd go for something like Toedscruel or Amoonguss. But in my heart of hearts. I would want to add a Wormadam with a plant cloak. They're just too cute okay?!

Pokémon Gym Leader Hali

Ohhhh such an interesting result for Hali!! I honestly thought she would get either Water type or Fairy type, but this description for Ice type really does suit her though! Perhaps she has adopted Aymeric’s pokemon type? Maybe they are both leaders of the Ice Gym?

For Hali’s team, I picked pokémon that I thought suited her most. Though Dewgong and Lapras are Water/Ice types, I still think Hali should have them on her team because as I stated before, I imagine that in a Pokemon AU, Hali starts off with Water types, then she adopts the Ice type after meeting Aymeric. The oddball one on the team is the Alolan Ninetales, as it’s an Ice/Fairy type, but Ive always thought that Hali would find the fairy types absolutely adorable, so I snuck an ice/fairy type in there. I can see Hali’s companion pokemon being Glaceon.

However, there’s also this fakemon that an artist created, which you can find HERE, that would suit Hali even better! It is based on the snowdrop flower, and its first two evolutions are Ice/Grass type, and the final evolution is Ice/Fairy type! Y’all can probably see why I would mention it here. I just think it’s neat.
