Ask the Pokémon Trainers!

Hey there! We're a bunch of trainers from around the world, the ones that took down people like Team Rocket and all that. We'll be posting all sorts of little facts about ourselves, people we know and the world in general, and we also answer questions! (basically a pokemon headcanon/ask blog)

INFAMOUS BURGLAR STRIKES ART MUSEUM!

L'OMBRE'S DARING HOLIDAY ART HEIST STUNS POLICE

The Lumiose City Gendarme is shocked today, as it seems the city's infamous gentleman-burglar L'Ombre (not to be confused with the Pokémon Lombre) has done some last-minute holiday shopping of his own at the Lumiose Art Gallery.

Employees opening the museum after the holidays say that nothing seemed amiss until they discovered several paintings missing, and the master thief's signature calling-card left in a now-emptied display case.

"As much as I hate to admit it, he's good," remarks Officer Coralie Allard. "No alarms set off, no footage on the security cameras; he should call himself 'La Fantome', since he's like a ghost."

Lumiose's star detective, Emma Vernal isn't so fast to compliment L'Ombre's skills, however.

"He's a thief just like any other, give or take the fancy outfit and theatrics." Emma assured the public, "That means we can catch him, just like any other thief."

Emma has been on the trail of L'Ombre for some time now, since the gentleman-thief first showed up in Lumiose City.

While L'Ombre was also able to strike at la Banc Kalosien and at City Hall, the brave detective has been relentless in her pursuit of bringing him to justice.

Still, L'Ombre seems to have become a sort of folk-hero to some of the people of Lumiose.

"He's great!" claims Emile, a local youngster. "I saw him running across the rooftops, and he leapt across the street like a Hawlucha, and it was SO cool!", the youngster elaborated before being led away by his mother.

"I don't see why he's Public Enemy #1," muses Lumiose City newcomer and do-gooder Paxton. "I mean yeah, he steals stuff, but it's not like he hurts anyone. Sometimes he even returns them later. Doesn't sound like such a villain to me."

So far, the Lumiose City Gendarme have taken in one suspect for questioning; local taxi driver Zach, who was quickly let go for his total lack of L'Ombre's skills in battling.

Two of the paintings stolen by L'Ombre in his latest burglary are 'Man and Mew' by Edgar Degahh, and 'Portrait of the King's Brother', artist unknown.

The Lumiose City Gendarme are asking people to keep an eye out for these two missing masterpieces, and to contact them immediately if spotted.

Naveen from Pokemon Legends ZA pleas ......

Naveen from Pokémon Legends: Z-A is Autistic!

[ask-the-pkmn-trainers]

Mewtwo has effectively become the Metal Gear of the Pokemon world: Once a unique, clandestine superweapon that few if any knew about, but then the documentation for it got leaked and now just about every morally-dubious scientist with the right tools and a big enough god complex can make their own, slightly less effective copy.

Thankfully, only Xerosic and Faba were morally-dubious and deluded enough to actually make their own Mewtwos.

Trainer Spotlight: Mable

Powered by the strongest coffee in the city and outrage towards the Mayor (this lady does not get a proper amount of sleep)

Used to de-stress and clear her mind by going for a walk in Aymlis Park, then Town Hall turned it into Wild Zone 12

After that, she tried going for a walk over to another little park with some nice Pyroar statues, then Town Hall turned that into Wild Zone 17

Needless to say she really, REALLY hates the mayor.

Had a huge falling-out with the other Team Flare admins since she was the only one to take a plea (They all thought she'd go to prison with the rest of them)

Part of her can't help but wish she did go to prison; Either way she'd be treated like a criminal, but at least she'd still have Aliana, Bryony and Celosia.

Frequents Cafe Nouveau; Somehow it took her a month and a half before she recognized Grisham and Griselle (She was busy and sleep-deprived, alright?)

Still goes there for coffee, but now she's also part of their self-help group or as she calls it, 'Ex-Flares Anonymous'.

Yes, those are prescription goggles

Dreads answering the phone; she has to let it go to voicemail so she knows whether or not it's her parole officer or the Mayor.

Spotted L out of the corner of her eye on the way to work one day; She ended up having to call in sick due to the panic attack seeing her supposedly-dead boss gave her.

On the bright side, she's managed to make friends with Emma even if it was really awkward for both of them at first.

the porygon2 installation process

[ask-the-pkmn-trainers]

If you take a look inside a Porygon's source code, you'll find a heavily-used 'Laventon' variable which more or less regulates the Porygon's appearance and physical form.

As it turns out, the programmers at SilphCo were directly inspired by Professor Laventon's writings about 'Strange, bird-like' Pokemon that came out of a Space-time distortion, who 'had no heartbeat and drew no breath'.

Since Laventon was actually writing about Porygon, that would make the entire species a living Bootstrap Paradox.

Hey, so uh

I wanted to do a Trainer Spotlight for Harmony but I'm just drawing blanks... So if anyone wants to send in some headcanons of their own, comment or drop them in my inbox!

Trainer Spotlight: AZ

His name's actually pronounced 'Ah-Zay', but he doesn't mind if people get it wrong.

Has a nearly-perfect memory, but plays up the 'doddering, absent-minded old-timer' act, partially for Team MZ's sake but mostly because he's reluctant to bring up his past. Of course, he'll always drop some sage advice or an inspiriational anecdote when it matters.

Was already pretty tall before the Ultimate Weapon; it's just that being made immortal by that thing/Zygarde tends to make you even taller.

During his wandering, AZ had crossed paths with Volo. True to form Volo tried to befriend AZ and backstab him, but the old king saw through it; AZ tried to reach out to Volo, telling him the toll his ambitions would take, but Volo was unconvinced.

Lived VERY sparsely during his exile, believing he was undeserving of anything beyond the bare necessities.

After his redemption however, he's developed a fondness for baked treats and Roserade Tea; If he's not behind the counter at Hotel Z, you can find him either in the lobby or on the rooftop patio, relaxing with a cup of tea and a muffin, or a plate of macarons.

Occasionally roams around Lumiose City 'to stretch his legs'. While many are intimidated by just how tall he is, the ones who strike up a conversation with him always recall how unfailingly polite he is.

Even though he's experienced with tailoring (after all, not much will fit the guy without a LOT of altering), he still commissioned Naveen for his current outfit; it was more than worth it to see his eyes light up like that.

Can't say he gets the point of a lot of modern-day dances, but he never turns Lida down when she asks him to watch her newest moves.

His room in the hotel is like a very casual history museum; Everything is antique to some degree, usually from the places he's visited at around the time he visited them.

Another difference after AZ's redemption: He takes a lot more naps. While he doesn't necessarily need sleep, or at least not as much as the average person, he greatly enjoys the comfort of dozing off in his armchair while reading a favourite book of his.

Still the stoic, solemn type, which just makes the occasional joke he drops all the funnier.

Basically the final boss of 'Friendly grandpas who are still haunted by The War™'

With Diantha stepping back as champion to focus on her films, Siebold retiring from the Elite 4 to go back to his culinary career and Malva disappearing after being exposed as a member of Team Flare, the Kalos League's been in a state of flux recently.

Clemont was one of the first gym leaders picked to fill in the Elite Four's losses, which is why he hasn't been around in Lumiose City lately.

[ask-the-pkmn-trainers]

Trainer Spotlight: Lida

Does not sit or stand still, like ever. Always bouncing her foot, or fidgeting with something in her hands

Parkour enthusiast, usually makes her way around the city via rooftop

The baby of the bunch in Team MZ, even if she's taller than Naveen he's got 2-3 years on her

Big Team Mom energy despite it, there's a reason she kicks off the team meetings and calls Taunie on her mob debt

The biggest fan of Urbain's Croissant Curry, much to his bemusement (and Naveen's total confusion)

Always wears her hoodie and tights regardless of the weather, summer or winter

Doesn't really like coffee or tea; heck, she doesn't really like any sort of hot beverages.
