in a conversation with the lovely @lesbrarian we came upon the idea of punk paxton. paxton, who after the events of the game realises that things can really go south, and that he isn't the perfect hero the game wants him to be. the reason they were able to defeat the tower was with people from all walks of life helping him. he acknowledges that he's dangerous and that he defeated the tower, yes with help from zygarde, but primarily through his own insane power. he's dangerous, but he's also supported and he wants to reflect that in his clothes
to this end i suggest punk paxton. paxton who starts to dress like he's dangerous, because he is. he's lethal and he's kept in check with the sheer love he has of the world. he will defend his world forever, and if that means allying himself with people like the rust syndicate and people like team flare nouveau then he will. his force is contained because he has this support network
black cargo pants with reinforced knees and sides of his legs for all of his roof running escapades, thick cotton shirt with painted logos of all that's dear to him, a love letter to all the people that helped him save the city he's come to love. a punk vest modelled off one of philippe's old vests, with embroidery showing off his pokemon team because the recovery time associated with a full back tattoo would be too long and he can't be out of commission protecting his city and his people. he keeps the hat because it was a gift from naveen. he wears the friendship bracelet lida makes for him and the earrings taunie bought him and he keeps a piece of all of those that make him him with him because it's the least he can do
