“Wanna See What Science Looks Like? Here It Is In Human Form - It’s Your Prof Guzma!”

They think of him as weaboo because of ramen - food, which originates from Japan. As for me, I don’t care about the country of origin of recipes, if they are tasty, more-or-less healthy and aren’t especially difficult to cook. Well, except for some Eastern recipes, which can be dangerous because of just how spicy they are supposed to be.

op gets their ramen rated

Weird dream is even weirder

Today, I’ve had a even more weird dream than before. Like a previous one that I’ve wrought about, it was mostly composed of random events, but I remember a Cipher agent (who happened to be a Shadow Lugia, cloaked somewhat like a Latias in the movie) teaching me and a lot of other people lesson about a Shadow Pokemon creation process, while I was silently hacking a computer, which was on my table, complete with Deus Ex: Human Revolution’s hacking GUI. For some reason, I was required to cancel the hack, and that was the moment when “teacher” revealed his true nature, but, unlike most people would expect, it was non-violent - he was very close to the Shadow Pokemon’s dex depiction and had next to no emotions, although his true form’s vocal voice was pretty threatening because of how growling it was, but his reveal of his true form felt like it was “me as example” moment. Fortunately, no panic began, so the lesson continued. Also, I remember some moments with Faridah Malik/Adam Jensen relationships in different places, which’ve implied, that he completely broke up with Megan Reed, who’ve cheated on him with Jaron Namir and Bob Page, and fell in love with “fly-girl”, which he’d saved a year or so ago, and, according to some data passing by, it was after David Sarif’s ending. Also, there was a moment with a big underwater map, on which was depicted a lot of things: fallen rockets (including two “Energia” rockets with boosters and “Buran” orbiters still on them), sunk ships and, most interesting, some Xbox huge underwater installation, which was marked as an oil development station, but left impression of a some kind of Cipher’s fortress complete with Deus Ex Panchaea technology, specificially, Hyron Project. Looks like I’ve played way too much Deus Ex and Pokemon yesterday.

I have pretty much same problems. You know, it's relatively hard to keep main character almost backgroundless and still make him act more or less naturally at the same time. Also, even (relatively) secondary characters are getting background as I get idea about it, sometimes even noticing it in my almost ancient notes, completely unrelated to the current fic, or just getting inspiration from the random source. For instance, in the one of the chapters of my fic, there was an officer Eugen Jackilson, who was originally intended to be a one-shot character and whom only purpose was to teach Ash Ketchum how to drive armorsuits and fight him in the Pokemon vs armorsuit battle. Now, after I've read a some random Wikipedia article and browsed my old notes, he's getting a decent background with the military vehicle tests, PMC operation in the Southern Unova, rescue missions and such. And that's just one example.

What I love about writers is how they know their characters at their fingertips??

What’s the character’s favorite word? They know

Do they start with the left or right foot when they lace their shoes? They know

What happened to them at 5:37 am on a sunday morning when they were 8? They know 

Writers are amazing

Blue and steel gray are colors of the Dialga.

All the members of the Aether Foundation wear clothes with a white and gold color scheme. You know what else has a white and gold color scheme? ARCEUS

Evil teams in the past have worn the colors of the legendaries they’re connected to (Team Magma had red and black like Groudon, Team Aqua had blue and white like Kyogre, old Team Plasma had black and white like Zekrom/Reshiram) so this is possibly another clue of what the Aether Foundation is really like.

While also multiplying whatever lies in my 6th item slot. Now, how do I call you?

Well, this works just as well. Looks like I was pretty inspired from watching “Volcanion and the Mechanical Magearna” some time ago - specificially, by Eliphas. Hovewer, Artist!Jirarudan in the Azoth Kingdom regency outfit... Well, he may change them according to what artwork he works on at the current moment (he may have some odd habits, you know, especially because he’s that kind of artist).

Present (mini-fic)

- How much more? - asked military engineer his comrade, continuing to walk upstairs.

- Ten more stories and that’ll be it, - responded the grenadier. - By the way, do you know, what the flak this crystalline shit is? It’s nearly swallowed the city! Good thing we still have this skyscraper far enough from the target to install lased designator on and be sure it wont go down after the strike, bad - our Flygons are no more...

- About those crystals - brainheads said something about psychics, living sigils and such, but the only thing concerning me is how we will deal with this. As if these flakkers rampages weren’t enough... Now we also have to deal with some Johto weirdass crap. Wait, did you hear that?

- “Stop right away!”, in some ghostly voice? I did, - said the grenadier, readying his revolver grenade launcher. - Whatever it is, we still have our mission. Is laser designator ready?

- Ready, ready. I still wonder, how Givi has managed to modify old laser rangefinder into a designator for missiles?

- The same way, as you’ve called them, “brainheads” modified weather rockets into some kind of a ballistic missiles. By the way, WTF is loaded into their warheads?

- Some arcane... nuke... whatever it is, it’s flakkin’ complicated. I do remember they use both nuclear fission and something arcane. Six missiles shall be enough to carry a decent payload.

- Agreed. Did you see that? - whispered soldier, quickly turning and shooting dangerous Pokemon with buckshot charge.

- Flakkin’ illusion, - barked engineer, seeing, how the figure dissipated after being hit. - Let’s hurry up, these crystalline shits are psychic and growing out of control!

- Flak, I’m running low on buckshots, - said grenadier, placing the grenade launcher on his back and taking the SMG into his hands. - And I don’t wanna get ourselves killed with shockwaves or waste corrosive munition on phantoms!

- Do your best, ‘cause these flakkers can actually attack now, - responded engineer, wiping blood from his eybrow. Mere seconds ago, a huge phantom attacked him and nearly slashed his neck open with pseudo-material claw. Thankfully, several bullets or a single buckshot grenade launcher charge were able to make them dissipate, but sheer ease, with which these phantoms were appearing, put survival of two soldiers and mission success under question.

-There we are, - happily said grenadier, reloading his primary weapon. - Zheka - put this flakkin’ designator down and lase the target.

- Here it goes, - whispered engineer, deploying the device and flipping the switch on it. - Givi, Ashot, Alexei - target’s being lased, how’s secondary radio guidance signal?

- Crystal clear! Five more minutes - and it’ll be very hot at the impact point! Evacuate and get ready to watch the fireworks!

- Evacuation impossible, foe possesses psychic abilities, can destroy designator. Requesting permission to hold on and protect designator until missiles fly.

-... Permission granted. Guys, try to make out of it alive.

- We’ll try our best, but no guaranties, except for providing guidance. Foe has some great psychic powers.

- Just how much more of them? - roared the grenadier, firing another HE grenade at the group of phantom Pokemon. - Zheka - hang in there, I’ll try to hold’em in the corridor!

- OK, Sasha! So, flakkers, do you think humans’ll go down easily?! SUCK ON MY HOLLOWPOINT BULLETS!!! - screamed engineer, letting his assault rifle loose on the phantoms. While he succeeded in destroying most of them, one has still managed to get in close and nearly cut him in two. While his attempt has mostly failed, Yevgeniy still got a huge deep slash across his chest, in addition to all of the previous wounds. - Shit...

Engineer, having no more power to stand upright, collapsed, but dragged himself near the laser designator and braced for firing his rifle from this position.

- Sanya, Zheka, here it goes! Get ready to receive the present! - suddenly sounded happy Givi’s voice from the radio.

- Flakkin’ finally! - whispered the bleeding soldier, looking at the window and seeing, how six yellow dots appeared near the horizon and started to speed to the designated point. Mere minute after, these dots revealed themselves to be ballistic missiles, three of which were going to target significantly faster, than the rest. Engineer saw, how these missiles exploded just before phantom Pokemon and crystalline storm would be able to intercept them and released a titanic amount of arcane Dark-type energy, causing phantoms to vanish and crystalline matter to darken and fall into dust.

- Here goes the second wave - cackled the grenadier, watching, how remaining three missiles flew to the lased point and exploded in the storm of atomic fire, hotter than hundreds of Magcargos and brighter than thousands of suns.

- Good thing we have those helmets and goggles. - said Yevgeniy, seeing his comrade ducking alongside him under the window to avoid getting burned by the intense light. - Just how much kaboom they’ve managed to put in them?

- From what it looks like, 50 kilotons or so per missile. By the way, Zhek, what do you think will kill us first - wounds or radiaton sickness?

- Well, judging from how close we were to explosions, how the building has somehow managed to hold solidly and protect us from overpressure wave and how my rad-meter is fried, my bet’s on the radiation sickness. Also, how we didn’t die from so much radiation instanly?

- Who knows. I don’t think we will be able to get to the brainheads in time to ask them, and our radio is fried as well. OK, now the target’s being... - grenadier peered at the window, seeing nothing more than boiling magma-like mass and no traces of crystals, phantoms or any Pokemon for that matter, - completely annihilated and us being in less than two days from death, how about a last game of preferans? I’ve got some cards in my pocket!

- OK, hand’em over! - laughed engineer, taking cards in his hands.

Keel Lorenz (pic related) got nothing on the Benusis la Arwall (aka Neo Icon Epiphanes).

Team ISP (Specific Impulse). This Team, unlike many others, does not want to get anything on Earth - quite opposite, in fact, they want to get AWAY from it! Their main reasoning for that is that too much weird and dangerous shit is happening there (and, to be fair, it kinda is - just look at the games and anime!), so, it’d be better, if civilization thrived in more than one place. As long as it inhabits a single planet, a single star, it can be extinguished instantly at doings of a few madmen.   Quite a bit of their research and development is spent on creating a colony ship, sufficient to get everything, needed for building the civilization anew, to another planet (or even another star) in one go. This Legendaries this Team seeks out are those, who can help them with their goal - Palkia, Dialga, Giratina, Solgaleo, Lunala and Necrozma, although they have plans for slower-than-light travel, should it fail.

The Flight Director (leader) of Team ISP is Robert Phillip Eugen Charles von Korolyov. His second-in command (admins) are Control Officer Gary Truax  and Flight Activities Officer Robert Koelle. One of the problems with this Team is that they kinda... lack appropriate care at how damaging the start of their colony ship is going to be. Even the basic version, with Zubrinov’s mass conversion torch engines (based on researching the Guzzlord), can easily damage the ecosystem with their crazy exhaust (53 megatons of TNT equivalent per second). Quite ironic of them, indeed, but, even though they are aware of that, the events in the world make them constantly “adjust” their priorities, with the one about the minimizing the collateral damage of the launch going lower and lower.

Their Pokemon are mostly space-themed, with Flight Director having Deoxys and two Celesteela in his team, whil the Flight Activities Officer has a Rayquaza, in addition to non-Legendaries.

If you were to design an evil team for Pokémon, what would their goal be? What would you name them?

I’d like an “evil” organization of scientists who want to restore the earth to how it used to be before pollution, deforestation, global warming, and the extinction of plants and Pokémon. The only problem is that they’re going about it by stealing fossils from museums, maybe under the guise of a break in, but in reality some of those within the organization work there.

They could be called Team Revitalization.

The legendaries are brought back from fossils. Maybe if the region was based in Greece or Egypt they could be a griffin and/or basilisk. Maybe when they’re brought back, they go berserk in this new world they don’t understand, and go about trying to destroy everything in their path.
