[Worldbuilding] Snippets of original Pokemon fan lore I've been writing•

[Marbles34]

It's just a little from the first day I wrote, about my fav (I think) characters, the Ground and Flying type Gym Leaders.

••••
Flying

"To be a gentlemen…"

Graceful, elegant, kind. A gentleman. Loves protecting kids. Was found under the wreckage of a burning city maybe? The new protection pokemon saved him. He has loved it ever since.

Gets scary when mad, has that one person who ticks off all his boxes. Against the Ground type gym leader, thinks he's quote on quote, "too grounded/laidback."

Honestly, he comes in a package along with the Ground type leader. Definitely fan service.


Ground

Too laidback, almost scum like. Traumatized. Like Yama from Black Clover or the Team Leader from Special Civil Servant. Gets really serious when he needs to, and becomes very overprotective, almost deseperate.


The other Gym Leaders are not as fleshed out besides the Poison type Gym Leader (who is slowly becoming my favorite female), but here are their snippets.

•••••
Flying- Male graceful elegant, 38
Ground- Male scum laidback, 43
Ice- Female vindictive hates losing, 27
Steel- Male hard doesn't crack under pressure, 26
Grass- Male Greenhouse loves plants, loner, kind, 32
Water- Female Shark, 23
Fire- Female like Aloha Totem guy
Normal- Female professor like
Dragon- Female powerful, strong, 54
Electric- Female loves Jolteon
Rock- Male family issues, cracks under pressure, 22
Fairy- Male like Bede
Dark- Female, like marnie
Psychic- Male happy go lucky air head, like Mob but optimistic, 28
Bug- Male, shy, loves power, 21
Ghost- Female, like acerola, likes scaring people? Creepy, 30
Fighting- Female, showing off her skin, almost exhibitionist, 22
Poison- Gender Issues, born female, gender fluid, 19


This would def be a more mature Pokémon game, especially with the legendaries I have sorta created. Like I have the entire scene of tragedy in my head...sage

I think this project would be called Pokémon Ashes for now, since I've given that name to the dual evil Team Leaders.

If I post next, it might be about the Poison Gym Leader, I really enjoy the lore I made for them. It's a bit cliche, but it would be done well, with their whole side story and stuff. I think people would enjoy her/their character.

And here's some of the Fairy Type Gym Leader I wrote today.

••••
Fairy

His design is a bit similar to the fanart of an older Bede. He now has slightly long, curly black hair tied in a ponytail with purple tips. His eyes are pink and naturally flirtatious. He holds himself a bit like Flying, but he is a bit more arrogant, again, like bede. He looks a bit similar to Professor Sycamore. Is angry sometimes because he used to be "insulted" (as he would say it) that he's only strong due to "daddy's money".
Has a thing for older women, like Dragon, so he constantly makes moves on her and one of his best friends. Has a male bestie too. Surprisingly charismatic, but everyone around him can't help but think of how goofy funny he is. His arrogance makes him a bit funny.
He wears even more gentlemen like clothes than Flying, like hes a noble. He has a personal Gym Leader Battle Outfit, and he loves showing it off to his haters, lmao.
He would be considered an ikemen in Japan. Not that feminine, but his handsomeness is alluring, and he's tall, probably around 6'2 or so.

Now for lore about the Poison Gym Leader


Fighting drags Poison everywhereeeeee. Fighting in the beginning didn't have much effect on Poison (lol) until one day Fighting like slapped it out of them/it/??. Fighting became fed up with poisons negativity and self isolation. Told them to "open up their eyes. Can't you see?" Referring to the fact that Fighting was right in front of their eyes.

Poison had been depressed about having no support all the time and also being fearful of the future. Poison is the youngest gym leader. Was passed down the title from the previous gym leader who suddenly passed away. Previous gym leader was older, around 61.

Previous Poison has a daughter who is part of the evil team in this region. Daughter is around 44. Daughter recognizes Poison from the Previous Poisons funeral, and mocks them at the final battle. Poison realizes who daughter is later on. Daughter also mocks her own mother, to which Poison blurts out what they truly thought about Previous Poison. "She was more of a mother than my own. But I don't think you will ever understand how much she sacrificed for you (????)". To which the Daughter gets mad and screams about how Poison doesn't know anything and why she should listen to what a child has to say.

Later on in some fight, Daughter switches sides, and later gets arrested and finally breaks down and grieves her dead mother, and sobs about how she wished that Previous Poison was proud of her and how it was the only thing she ever even felt like she wanted. Poison then tells Daughter about how proud Previous Poison really was, how much she missed her, how much she wished Daughter would come home, and how they could tell that Previous Poison saw Daughter through them. "She wanted you home." Daughter wanted to prove the path she chose was right.

Here's some info on some NPCs

•••

Kwan
×××Part of Electric's Side Chapter Story
Used to be Electric's biggest competitor, but has now mellowed over age. Like, seriously mellowed. Passive mellow. Funnily enough, he fishes, using his electric type pokemon to zap the fish who come ashore. Kwan is not a 100% bad/evil character, but he's not good either. He has done a bit of questionable stuff, but his morals are mostly in the right place.


Bar Owner
This is an important character in Flying's side quest. He is the owner of the bar where Flying and Ground get drunk all the time. I keep wanting to name him Reid, but I'll leave it up in the air for now. He does stop a fight and we fight him at least once? Not sure how I want to do this scene. Not sure if he should get a regular quest or a Mini Chapter.


Evil Team

Dual Evil Team Leaders, called Ashes for now. They're long-lived, neither human nor Pokémon. They have Zoroark's knack for using illusions to pretend to be humans. They're an amalgamation of Pokémon and a human. Instead of killing or arresting the leaders, they use up their energy and others energy to sustain/wake up the Destruction legendary.

::Admins (how many?? Some are Base Leaders, others are imp too)
××There are several bases, but there can be other important characters besides admins…) Categorize them by bases I guess.
–Daughter
:::Grunts (Maybe all of them will have names? Ik they're not supposed to but I feel like I could make stories out of some of them)
(Osiris could be a base leader? Planning on making Admins control a certain number of bases in a region. )

Some lore for a favorite area of mine:

A tree on an island. Ashimi Island? Shiki Island? Shika Island? The 4 seasons pokemon. New Mythicals???? This island would house the 4 seasons, and then a giant tree with red and green leaves. Also houses the mythical pokemon who may have worked alongside the Revival pokemon. This island is big, but not too big.
The Mythical Pokemon has a mechanic that works alongside the Deerling line, having 4 different forms for the season, and an item corresponding to each season that gives the mythical a better looking form, like Shaymin. Its design is also slightly based on Deerling as well.
After the completion of the Island Area Quest, players have the chance to encounter the Season Mythical, but the rest will only be able to be encountered post-game. The Legendaries and Mythicals able to be obtained on this island are Shaymin, and the Swords of Justice; Cobalion (Winter), Terrakion (Fall), Virizon (Spring), and Keldeo (Summer).


And here is part of the Psychic Gym Leader's lore:

Psychic

Def has a family Spoink with a tramautic past that he can't remember due to being airhead. Def has a friend who supports him with all they have. They def have a picture together Friendie keeps. Maybe Friendie is a girl? People turned their backs when Psychic got into an accident and became an airhead. So Friendie took it upon himself to prove that Psychic is still good. Is Friendie a twin brother? Speculate the accident, make it up in the air whether Friendie is responsible for it or not. Is Frendie part of the evil team? He can be part of the evil team for the Revival Pokemon. He wasn't initially trying to find the Revival Pokemon but they did lead him to that conclusion.
