Aura Guardian and Ranger Archer

He/They/It. Aura Guardian and Ranger. Constantly moving.

[archeriolu]

Testing, testing, 1... 2... 3!

Hello everybody! I'm Archer, pronouns he/they/it, and I'm an aura guardian (... in training) and (part-time) ranger! I'm mostly just posting about my day to day, such and such, but feel free to talk to me, or ask my help!

Edit 02/01/2026: It seems like I might be a semi-permanent fixture here, so... Hello, I'm Alan, I use he/it/fire pronouns, and I'm the Victory Flame-- chosen one of Victini, an aura guardian, and a ranger. Uh... I'm mostly here to handle any calls and problems while Archer is... otherwise indisposed. Hi.

OOC under the cut

Hi! You can call me Rye and I use any pronouns! I'm new to Tumblr roleplaying, but I love interacting with people so please please please feel free to come and say hi!

My boundaries: - Sexual, flirty, or suggestive posts are okay, but nothing outright and nothing between minors and adults. Shipping posts are also fine with this caveat in mind. - No serious discrimination; homophobia, racism, etc. In character is fine, but please keep it light! - I genuinely cannot think of anything else right now but I might edit this if I think of anything else.

Some character information: Archer has been aura-proficient since young and is still working to fully hone his craft. He's also somewhat prophetic, thanks dimensional scream. He's actually my Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (Explorers of Sky) OC, but for these purposes, it's before he gets dropped into the Pokémon World and its future. He has his ranger certification and sometimes does work as one, but is mostly focusing on his aura training. He does not have a partner pokémon!

14/06/2026 Update: PMD:EOS has begun.

Edit 03/01/2026: Pelipper mail and musharns mail and magic anons are all on!

Whole guild knows about the dimensional scream. Used it to find another time gear location. Going there now. Realising the past lot of visions have been related to the time gears and that the two places I feel like I’d been in had been places where time gears were. Not bringing this up with anyone.

[archeriolu]

We just… We saw the time gear thief. More we watched him steal a time gear after he attacked us. I don’t… I…

I’m so confused. I saw him and I just— all the tension and sickness melted away for a moment, you know? And I don’t know why because he’s been destroying the natural order so why did seeing him feel right? Why did being there as time froze behind us feel so wrong and cold but right?

I don’t get it… I just don’t understand…

I had this flash again when he pushed me aside. It was weaker than the rest of the visions I’ve had, it feels like. I can barely remember it. It’s so hazy… but I remember it being cold… and still…

I don’t know anymore. I still have a meeting to get to. I don’t want to see Zephyr. Whatever.

[archeriolu]

Olivera is such a ride or die. I just suggested jumping into a quicksand pit and she agreed.

Don’t jump into quicksand unless you’re like me and have a naturally acute sense of vibes btw.

[archeriolu]

I don’t want to be up today… I already feel wrong… I don’t… I don’t think I want to capture grovyle…

But he’s been stealing time gears, and that’s awful. So, it’s the right thing to do. I think.

I barely got any sleep last night I was so dizzy… whatever. We’re going back to the desert today. I just know I missed something there.

[archeriolu]

Nothing turned up in our search. We were all looking for possible time gears before that grovyle could. Can’t help but feel like I… the place we went to. Some desert. It felt like the right place, didn’t it? I felt like I’d been there before…

Mmf I feel like I could pass out. I’m going to bed.

[archeriolu]

Heartbreaking news: The guy you hate just saved you from getting jumped because the other guys you hate set you into a trap.

So much happened today.

Aughhh I just want to… he helped us this time but I just feel this… this… malice. Whenever he sees me. I think he hates me and I… I’m kind of scared of him. I mean, I don’t know how I’m supposed to punch a ghost. Can’t exactly quick attack, force palm, aura sphere my way out of that.

At least we got the item for the brother’s back.

But at the same time Zephyr knows about the visions now… and the fact that I used to be a human… Olivera told him and I didn’t think to tell her not to…… When she told him he acted plain shocked, but got this weird energy to him. Like excitement or anticipation… but not in a good way… like… threateningly. He did say though… that apparently it’s called the dimensional scream.

Oh… and I think he lied. He said my name didn’t mean anything to him. I think he was lying. He was smiling when he said it.

We found out that another time gear was stolen too. And it explains the awful feeling that woke me up. But we know who’s been doing it now. A grovyle.

There’s something no one has noticed and I don’t think I want to tell them. When I saw the wanted poster it was like something clicked. I felt so… relaxed maybe? Everything felt right again somehow and I… well… That grovyle had a pin on a scarf around his neck. A three feathered wing, with a swirl inside it. The problem is that I had pins of the exact same shape with me when I woke up, in my scarf… I wonder if… if…

I don’t know what to even do anymore. I feel even more confused than ever before.

Eugh. Never mind. I’m going to bed. I don’t care if it’s a little early. I still feel sick.

[archeriolu]

So… We’re being sent to this place called Amp Planes today to help these two kids get an item back. Apparently they got a ransom note about it or something? The problem is that this note has off vibes and I think something bad is going to happen today. So it’s that kind of day where I’m just going to have to sit back and get unwillingly strapped into a trainwreck.

[archeriolu]

… Mm… I woke up early this morning with that awful feeling again. It hasn’t woken me up before, but I feel almost nauseous now. Between the visions, all this weird time stuff, and Zephyr… I guess I’m just really keyed up or something, and each thing that adds on to it makes it worse.

I… I don’t know what to think anymore. I just feel like something awful is looming. Closer and closer.

Ugh… I’m going back to sleep. Or… try to. I guess.

[archeriolu]

We are being sent on an errand. About these perfect apples once more. Except this time we’re not allowed to go get them ourselves because last time we got jumped. So we’re just asking if the local shop plans on stocking them. Fun.

[archeriolu]

Noooo aughhhhh….

He was there… the freaking… Zephyr or whatever is his name. I didn’t get to talking to Olivera about him yesterday and now she’s impressed with his knowledge or whatever but he makes my fur stand on end… grrr…

[archeriolu]

They’re putting me on a different duty today… Olivera and I are sitting underground. And waiting for pokémon to show up. And then identifying them by their feet. All day.

[ominous-whispers]

Oh! Some of the guild halls used to do that here before identification got standardized

doesn't really work for ones that levitate...

[archeriolu]

Oh yeah? That’s interesting!

I’ve already kind of given up and it’s only been an hour. I’m just answering based on vibes now.

[ominous-whispers]

o-oh, I guess the book keepers can figure it out once whoever walks in...

[archeriolu]

I mean, I haven’t looked at the footprints, but I haven’t called out a wrong pokémon yet!

[ominous-whispers]

...huh

strong sense of vibes

[archeriolu]

I say ‘vibes’ but it’s more like they show up and I just Know what they are by feeling alone, so either I became a psychic type before realising or my aura sensing is better than your average riolu’s.

Probably the latter. I don’t remember much before getting to the guild but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a reason I’m a riolu. But as a bonus, aura sensing does work on levitating pokémon! So I’d say I’m doing above expected so far.

[ominous-whispers]

h-huh, that's a pretty good system actually

w-wouldn't the reason you're a Riolu be that one of your parents is from that species?

at least here it isn't too rare for Riolu in particular to get some psychic abilities if they have a psychic parent I guess...

[archeriolu]

I'd be surprised if my parents happened to be a lucario...?

I'm a human that turned into a riolu sometime in the last month. At least, from what I can remember that it, which is admittedly very little.

[ominous-whispers]

Oh! S-sorry, I shouldn't have assumed... I- I hope you get your memories back!!

[archeriolu]

It’s alright! It’s not the first thing that’d come to mind, so I get why you wouldn’t think of it! Thank you, though!

[archeriolu]

I wake up. I go to the meeting. I finish the meeting. Someone new visiting the guild!

Guy has the most RANCID vibes for some reason and everyone loves him?? Hate that.

[chosen-of-rayquaza]

You're a Riolu, right? Natural vibe checks are one of your abilities. So nine times out of ten, if someone gives you bad vibes, you're right.

[archeriolu]

I guess you’re right. It’s still weird though. It’s not like the last time with the drowzee, this dusknoir is like… just seeing him makes me uncomfortable, like I’m doing something wrong and I need to either attack or run away.

Everyone else seems fine with him though, so… argh. I guess I’ll talk to Olivera about it at lest. Hopefully she’ll hear me out.

[archeriolu]

It's been a while since I was last on the blog. The post counter has gone up, but I can't see any new posts aside from Morgan's which are already a week or more old. I guess that means I can't see anything Archer is doing anymore.

[ian-of-naranja]

Just swung by the Academy after hearing more classes were available, and took them all. But History class in particular was... interesting. Ms. Raifort told me a story that sounded strange, but considering the stuff that goes on in this world and with Pokémon, is probably true.

Anyone else heard of the Treasures of Ruin?

[archeriolu]

Hi, Ranger and Aura Guardian Alan here. They're real. Don't pull up the pitch black, glowing stakes you see around Paldea, that's what seals the doors.
