🖊 + Ione?

· Leave a comment ·

Ahhh I haven’t talked about her too much but Ione is my baby. Some fun facts:

  • Her name is pronounced “ie-O-nee” and is of Greek origin, meaning “violet flower”. May and Lisia chose this name just since they thought it was pretty and sounded nice with Levi and Evan’s names, but it ends up being fitting for their daughter as she has her grandmother Caroline’s purple eyes.
  • Her Japanese name is Sumire (菫玲), with the kanji for “violet flower” and “sound of jewels”. The second kanji is meant to have a slight relation to “earth”, as Levi’s Japanese name relates to the sea and Evan’s to the sky. 
  • Ione has loved cute things and being the center of attention from a young age, in no small part because her mothers spoil her rotten. She loved the idea of contests, but always wanted to take the stage alongside her pokémon, so when she first heard about Showcases she knew exactly what she wanted to do when she set out on her journey. She’s got a rather princess-like attitude, so she definitely is going to be the center of drama in the Kalos Showcase scene, haha.
  • Her starter is a Sableye! I’m not sure yet how they first met, but I thought Sableye would be the perfect fit for Ione considering it kind of matches her name (purple and jewels), and I thought it would be fun for a pink-loving ultra-girly-girl like Ione to have a pokémon who’s a bit on a the creepier side. I can see Ione’s Sableye being similar to her in personality, very particular about her looks, a little on the prissy side, and always making sure her collection of jewels are in top condition (and ready to eat when she’s hungry.)  So the two definitely make a formidable (and overwhelming team.)

Some stuff about Hunter (Chase/Mondo son) since I’ve been thinking about him recently:

  • Some background – Chase & Mondo both stick with Team Rocket through it’s evolution under Silver’s control into more of a vigilante group who sometimes works with the G-Men. Dark G-Men if you will. Comic book type stuff haha. Chase eventually becomes one of the Team’s higher ups in the Kanto Branch and is also the Saffron City Gym Leader, so he does a lot of work trying to help stop crime in the largest city in Kanto.
  • Hunter’s mother, Rose, ends up passing away, orphaning her toddler son. Due to circumstances around Rose’s death, Chase and Mondo end up investigating the situation, which is when they find Hunter.
  • Since the toddler had no other family, Chase and Mondo end up taking in Hunter, eventually adopting him. He grows up as part of the big team family and is close with Dove and Celeste (the latter of whom he has a bit of a crush on.)
  • Hunter is on the shyer side and is a bit of a tech wiz, preferring to work on his gadgets then talk to others, though Dove usually is able to get him to socialize a bit. His starter is a Koffing who will sometimes use her smoke to help Hunter run away from awkward encounters (or any kind of conversation he wants to avoid.)

🖋 Roy!

· Leave a comment ·

Roy was a little over a year old when his parents went to Alola (where they appear in the Gen 7 games.) It was his first big vacation ever, as any previous trips had been just around Kanto or to Johto at the farthest. While Roy was a pretty easy going baby, travelling on a long trip with him was a new experience for Red and Green. He got pretty bad jet-lag that resulted in a few sleepless nights, but luckily was able to adjust to the different time zone before too long.

Alola was Roy’s first experience being somewhere completely different from his home and he was entranced by all the colorful sights and sounds, seeing new pokémon and getting to spend lots of time at the beach. Red and Green definitely noticed how much Roy loved Alola, and considering they also had a great time there, they decided to try and visit there semi-regularly on family trips (as well as places like Kalos, which is where Red and Green got engaged!) This ended up sparking a love of travel in Roy, prompting him to want to start his journey somewhere other than Kanto. So, after brainstorming with his step-cousin Jay, the two decide to start their journey in Galar, since the League there seems so exciting and different from Kanto’s. 

Eventually after two years traveling with Jay in Galar and then Kalos, Roy and his cousin part ways, with Jay heading back to Kanto to focus on his research and Roy heading to Sinnoh to keep practicing his skills as a trainer. It’s in Sinnoh that Roy meets Draco and then Ulyssa and starts traveling with them, and also meets some new rivals in Emery, Gavin, and Renato’s group!

Who’s Saffron?

· Leave a comment ·

Saffron is Oleana and Rose’s child. Their design and name are loosely based on the character of Yellow Diamond from Houseki no Kuni, a manga series by Haruko Ichikawa, who designed both Rose and Oleana. I am a fan of the series, and YD is my favorite character from it, so it just seemed like it would be a fun idea to give this pairing a child inspired by HnK. 

After turning himself in at the end of the SwSh plotline, Rose isn’t in jail for very long. Once he’s free, he and Oleana reconnect and also rekindle their sort of friends-with-benefits relationship (but it’s not really that since Rose had all the power from the beginning.) Oleana is still so used to being Rose’s right-hand at this point that going back to the way things were is just easiest for her, even if the two of them aren’t working together any more. However, once she discovers her pregnancy, it sort of forces her to really start reconsidering her life and where she wants to go from now on.

After a lot of deliberation, Oleana decides to make a clean break with Rose, cutting ties for the most part and raising their child on her own. I’m still working on what she does with her life at this point, though working with Leon at the Battle Tower is very likely – definitely something business related since that’s her area of expertise. Once Saffron is born, Oleana does her best to be a good mother, but she can also admit she’s not the best at being affectionate. All the same, Saffron respects her and appreciates how much Oleana has done for them as a single mother, even if she wasn’t always perfect (they could always count on Leon or his partners to be more traditionally parental to them anyways). 

When Saffron is young, maybe 7-10 or so, Oleana and Rose sort-of begin talking again, but mostly this just involves Rose taking Saffron on day trips sometimes and offering to pay for Saffron’s schooling and the like, which Oleana always refuses. As a teenager, Saffron ends up becoming a model, mainly for high-end teen fashion. They really look up to Nessa and are always a bit starstruck when they get to meet her through Oleana’s League connections. 

Saffron also has no idea that Ambrose exists or is their half-brother until the two are both teenagers and meet by chance (though Ambrose knows who Saffron is). What happens from there as well as their eventual big confrontation with Rose once and Ambrose start interacting is still something I’m working on!

As a bonus, under the cut I’ll include a pic of a concept design for Saffron I made in Picrew!

so what’s the messed up story behind bede having roan with chairman rose?

pkmnomegaverse:

Rose is one of those characters I find interesting since he’s morally ambiguous. While I agree the game does lean towards him ultimately being a good, if misguided person, his treatment of Bede stands out as offering a different interpretation of his character. That he actually is manipulative and isn’t a completely kind person. I stand by the mural scene at Stow-on-Side being a setup by Rose to get rid of a Bede, after he decided Bede had become more trouble than he was worth (sure, Bede blames Oleana during postgame, but who’s the one Oleana is doing the bidding of throughout the entire game).

Basically though, for this verse, I decided to go with the corrupt interpretation of Rose’s character. He picks up Bede from the orphanage partly because he sees potential in him as a trainer (thus useful to him in the future, especially if he were to become his puppet Champion) but also because he sees a cute, vulnerable boy who will be easy to manipulate into fulfilling his urges. He grooms Bede into thinking the things they do together behind closed doors are done out of love.  Bede already admires Rose and feels indebted to him, so thinking that Rose loves him as well just further fuels his loyalty towards the man, being willing to do anything for him.  A lot of my headcanons for this are actually based on art and fics I’ve seen that take this interpretation of Rose. Since this actually isn’t an uncommon interpretation of Rose and Bede’s relationship if you know where to look.

The events of the game plays out as in canon, Rose disowns Bede after the Stow-on-Side incident (nonsense happens in Hammerlocke with Bede trying to win back Rose’s favor), Opal rescues/abducts Bede to become her protege, and the Eternatus incident plays out as normal. Bede’s son with Rose, Roan, is actually conceived right before the Eternatus incident, during the Championship tournament.

Bede, after crashing the tournament and losing to Victor, remains in Wyndon.  Unfortunately for him, his heat starts very shortly after this.  In a moment of weakness, he goes to Rose Tower to seek out Rose, the man who he’d spent all his previous heats with. He’s both not entirely thinking straight, but he also isn’t over Rose at this point, even asking for Rose to take him back at some point during the encounter. Rose isn’t having any of that though, and isn’t even particularly kind to Bede during the incident. A big part of the reason Leon misses dinner with the protag and Hop isn’t because he was talking with Rose for hours, but rather because Rose made Leon wait hours to talk with him because he was busy having sex with Bede.

Rose turns himself in following the Eternatus incident and Bede eventually discovers that he’s pregnant. He knows right away who the father is, but for obvious reasons doesn’t tell anyone.  As he spends more and more time with Opal, he also slowly comes to terms with just how wrong what Rose did to him was. Opal does find out who the father of Bede’s child is (she suspected all along, but Bede end up telling her the truth).  Victor also finds out years later once he and Bede get together and Bede shares some of his past with him.

As for Rose, while he doesn’t care about Bede enough to keep tabs on him, he does make the connection that Bede’s son with the mystery father is his son.  But for obvious reasons, he doesn’t do anything about it.  Sends the occasional “anonymous” gift that Bede promptly throws away (rose seal on the letters is a dead giveaway).  Roan doesn’t find out who his biological father is until he’s in his teens, which is the point Rose decides to personally enter the picture and tell Roan himself (leaving out many details of his and Bede’s past together, of course).

Syd and I came up with a fair chunk of this together, so the way things play out is basically the same in this verse. Just replace Roan’s name with Ambrose.
