Elite Four Revali

Pokémon IRL blog. Unreality RP.

[eliteoftheskies]

Greetings, Rotomblr. I'm Revali, one of the Hyrule League's Elite Four, and more importantly I'm one of the first people to be permitted on this... "social media" thing that Professor Purah is trying out. Presumably, it will be opened to a wider audience eventually, so I might as well get this thing out of the way now.

I'm always up for a friendly battle, though if you'd like for me to go all out in one you're going to have to collect eight badges and make it to the Pokémon League first.

I'm not... entirely sure what else to put here, to be honest. I specialize in Flying-type Pokémon, because it is the best type of Pokémon. Here's a non-exhaustive list of the Pokémon you may see on this "blog" of mine, if I do indeed continue with it:

Medoh (Corviknight, F, my starter) Galerider (Corviknight, M, Medoh's kid) Kingslayer (Togekiss, M) Cloudhunter (Altaria, F) Shockbiter (Kilowattrel, F) Awestriker (Pelipper, M) Fireflyer (Talonflame, F)

Here's... some fun facts about me? Trivia? I don't know. (Purah, what do you want from me?)

-I was a gym leader before I filled a vacancy on the Elite Four, and have since been succeeded by Leader Teba of Rito Gym.

-Due to... circumstances... as well as the piss-poor attitude of the previous Champion, I was briefly and unjustly removed from my position on the Elite Four. However, I'm back now and better than ever.

-I have thought the world of Flying-type Pokémon ever since before I fully understood what Pokémon were. I spend most of my free time flying around with them, though I don't actually have much free time these days.

-I have been able to defeat every other member of the League in battle at least once, with the notable exception of the new Champion. (For now.)

-The rumors involving me and the new Champion are entirely unsubstantiated and I would like to have words with whatever featherbrained fool started them.

(OOC info under cut!)

Hi. I'm back on my bullshit, and by that I mean I also run the Cynthia blog @legendsobsessions and the Ace Attorney crossover blog @bigtittylawyer. I can be found on my main Tumblr account at @ofstormsandfire writing fanfiction and generally being very normal about my favorite characters. One of my friends offered to draw me something for my birthday and I figured... fuck it, we ball. Pokémon AU Revali gets to be thrown at Rotomblr, as a treat.

He is so not prepared for the multiversal shenanigans. :D I'm still not entirely clear on how the etiquette of all this works but... feel free to drop him an ask and/or interact otherwise with this smartass?

Art is by @kayuripax, who is absolutely incredible and runs a pokeblog themself (and, last I checked, has commissions open!) Thank you Kayuri <3

[eliteoftheskies]

Lonely.

Nah just kidding. Definitely adamant.

the NERVE-

Adamant, yes. Lonely, ABSOLUTELY not!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a quest to finish.

[legendsobsessions]

OOC: I was enabled slightly too much, so, ask game!

Send in an ask about what nature you think the one reblogging this is. That's it that's the ask game I thought it might be cool.

...To sum the current... situation up...

Clair seemed rather annoyed about being defeated, but I assumed that was simply an act. Perhaps incorrectly.

After said defeat, she said that I would have to wait and went to (I assumed) retrieve a badge.

Half an hour passed. I decided to take a quick trip to the Pokémon Center, as most of my team is not in anything approaching a state fit for battles at the moment.

When I returned, the individual at the front of the gym seemed surprised to see me return, and informed me that I could only challenge a gym once per day so as to avoid overwhelming the leader. I was aware of this rule.

He was not aware that I had defeated Clair. She had, apparently, closed the gym early and gone home.

Gym staff cannot access badges; only the leader (or a preemptively designated substitute) can.

It may be longer than I thought before I attain that badge...

[prayers-to-hyliarceus]

I don’t think Revali is even that petty. Wow.

[eliteoftheskies]

HEY! I am not

Revali. Reread what she said real quick for me?

...oh

Yes. Quite.

[prayers-to-hyliarceus]

Well, at least Purah can provide a voice of reason for you…

[eliteoftheskies]

I don't need a voice of reason, thank you very much!

[prayers-to-hyliarceus]

Urbosa, have Link and Zelda been sleeping properly? I sadly trust neither of hem to be honest about this.

Mm, I understand.

Link, fortunately, is quite the avid napper. He can fall asleep just about anywhere if he's determined enough. I believe he has nightmares, however, and that may lead him to try to stake out several nights in a row.

I don't know how Zelda manages to keep the fact that she wakes up in the middle of the night so often secret, and I only know this from Link (though I could already guess, unfortunately). She's had a lot of terrible nightmares lately that have been, if I am understanding correctly, mailed to her by a Pelipper.

I worry for the two of them. For me, they were children not so long ago, and I am deeply concerned as to what occurred in that six-year gap. Even so, after all that's happened to them that I already know of... they did not deserve all those burdens.

[lostlornghost]

I fully understand. 117 years stripped from them by those that didn't deserve them. If I could slap King Rhoam for forcing so much on to not just Zelda, but Link as well, I would.

Zelda reminds me of myself, when I was still alive. Hard working, studious, but to driven to properly care for herself. Too worried about everyone else, that she neglects her needs.

And Link, he does so much for everyone. He's saved the world time and time again, but gets no thanks for it. Maybe he doesn't want thanks, but at least he'd be heard, not just seen.

[prayers-to-hyliarceus]

...I'm not going to question the 117 years just yet. I don't think either of them are ready to talk about that.

You know the king? I fully share the sentiment. Unfortunately, due to political reasons, that can only remain as a fantasy.

She cries whenever I call her little bird, and that makes me think she has been deprived even more of love. Sometimes... I wish I could go back and show her mother how she has grown. Regardless of that, I think she is proud. I think she would tell Zelda to rest. She needs it.

Link, bless his heart, he works far too hard. There is also the issue of the fact that he so often denies or never seeks out thanks. He believes it is his obligation to fight until he drops, and that is not a healthy way of thinking, especially when there is no king to order him to do such a thing.

[lostlornghost]

I do not know him, as I am not from your world, but my point still remains. If I could slap him for not just putting two teenagers on the front lines, but being borderline abusive, I would do so in a heartbeat.

Zelda didn't deserve to be forced into a goddess's job and Link shouldn't have been trained from such a young age. I understand that given the circumstances it might have been necessary, but no one knew the calamity would come back when it did. They were children, and I will forever believe that they should've had the chance to be such.

If you find a way to return to your world, I will try to visit. If only to slap Rhoam, and praise the gerudo women.

I may be gay, but you are the most lovely women I've ever met, and if I swung that way, I would try to court in the bat of an eye.

[prayers-to-hyliarceus]

I see. Multiversal things, yes?

...I am flattered, but I will not pretend that that isn't the first time I've heard that particular compliment.

[lostlornghost]

I'd be surprised if it was. Someone as lovely as you should be praised for your strength and beauty.

[prayers-to-hyliarceus]

dunno what's going on here but Urbosa is laughing very hard right now.

y'know she's lesbian right-

[lostlornghost]

Link, I'm gay.

I can still praise strong, beautiful women for being fucking badass.

[prayers-to-hyliarceus]

that is true. i think she's just heard this so many times that she finds it funny.

[lostlornghost]

I'm not wrong. I'd fight Rhoam with her.

[prayers-to-hyliarceus]

count me in. make sure Zelda doesn't know or she would be under more distress than i'd want to have her in.

(this is a hypothetical scenario by the way-)

[eliteoftheskies]

Can I help (in this entirely hypothetical scenario)

[prayers-to-hyliarceus]

Oh, absolutely.

What are you all

yOU DO NOT NEED TO SEE THIS

crisis averted.

[eliteoftheskies]

I feel like we could, hypothetically, count my rival in as well. But yes, neither your Zelda nor the one I know needs to know about this.

[prayers-to-hyliarceus]

Ah. Is... Right. More multiversal things.

Is... your Zelda's... father also an extremely faulty parent?

[eliteoftheskies]

RATHER EMPHATICALLY SO!

[prayers-to-hyliarceus]

Seems to be a trend, I suppose.

[eliteoftheskies]

he also fired me because I DARED to question his parenting so. no, I’m not bitter at ALLLLL.

haha very funny

it only pings me once per post, lol

[eliteoftheskies]

Hello Purah, if you're still there! Honestly I can't believe I'm talking to you... i mean, you're a scientist who knows about alternate universes!

I know it wasn't directed at me, but thank you for the comprehensive explanation of the multiverse. A lot of times science and math stuff go right over my head, but what you said helped me get it at least a little more. And this is the first time I've seen it really explained on this distsite instead of just kinda mentioned.

Though I do wonder... doesn't it overwhelm you? The idea of so many different worlds, where things could have gone in who knows what nonsense ways! Or where things you didn't think existed actually could exist. It overwhelms me and uh... just wondering if you have ways to deal with that, as someone who's studying it.

hello! I'm always here :) whether Revali likes it or not

UM.

(I mean I don't read everything he posts but I did slide in a line of code so that it notifies me if my name is mentioned. and it was! so. helloooo)

and hey, glad to have helped! science is great on its own but it's important to be able to make it understandable to people who aren't as involved in it, y'know?

also, uh. no, doesn't overwhelm me, but also a lot of things that probably should overwhelm me very much don't! so. yeah. there's that.

I'd say... look, there are countless different universes out there, but most people are only going to ever be in one. it's yours, and it's the one that'll matter most to you, however interesting others worlds where different things happened are.

(also I get cool experiment ideas from hearing about other mes. apparently this other Purah turned herself into a kid? which. not sure why she'd do that specifically but it's got me thinking about some sort of age reduction ray...)

Purah.

yes~?

Purah, no.

[prayers-to-hyliarceus]

hello HELLO! good to see you over there, urbosa!

name's purah, you're probably familiar with it, but you're probably not actually familiar with me. or the revali you've spoken with. (who is currently sulking on the other side of my lab.)

and... alright how do I explain this to someone from a non-pokemon hyrule...

okay so. every choice you make, you could choose something else, right? and while the world you're in is the one where you chose that thing, there's the possibility of you having chosen that other thing, and so another world exists where you did choose that other thing, capice? capice.

but of course, everyone makes TONS of choices every day. so there are a lot of different worlds out there.

revali and I are from a pretty different hyrule from yours—pokemon have always existed for us—but we still know a you. and I'm betting you know a me, too.

anyway, the way you're talking to people? it's called rotomblr. it connects to the multiverse, allowing people to talk to others from drastically different worlds! I'm studying it.

...which is to say that revali is the only one in our world with this connection and so I steal his account for science sometimes. you understand. probably. maybe.

also I hope that explanation made sense! if it doesn't, let me know what part confuses you, and I'll explain better. still good to see you!

—Purah (@eliteoftheskies)

The Sheikah scientist? Yes, I do know you.

read the whole thing before you jump to conclusions.

What do you—

Ah. I… see. Not really. I… think I understand it? Kind of? Essentially there are just a lot of worlds very much like one or the other, but sometimes with vastly different circumstances.

Could have done without the decision-making analogy, I think. That confused me a little too much.

yeah that’s basically it i think. Purah explains this stuff pretty well.

[eliteoftheskies]

note... to... self... leave out... decision-making analogy... next time!

because let's be honest there will be a next time

Anyway hi hello yes so I'm a Purah but not the one you know. Which is to say that I also know an Urbosa—the fact that you ended up with a Blitzle is genuinely hilarious for reasons that I think might blow your mind a little for reasons we can get into later.

Welcome to the world of pokemon! ...well, kinda. you said you'd been here for like a week? how much do you know about pokemon already?

[prayers-to-hyliarceus]

That is... certainly strange but I at least somewhat understand now.

(And I would be lying if I said I wasn't extremely curious as to how an alternate... me would be like.)

As for Pokémon, I know the very basics, I think. As I've shown, I have a Blitzle under my care. I know that Pokémon are these creatures that have these special powers that they harness, and they vary greatly. (Naturally, I took a liking to Naboris's lightning powers.)

The concept of battles, admittedly, confuses me a bit. But I suppose I can see why people do it for sport? Perhaps? There are safety measures, at the very least.

[eliteoftheskies]

(alternate you is one of the strongest trainers in our Hyrule, actually! specializes in electric-types—which, yeah, lightning powers—and generally kicks so much... well, you know. which honestly I would expect from any version of you.)

yep, that's accurate! there are eighteen types in total—I really like the steel-type of pokemon myself, here's one of my own! his name is Sparky and he's a Togedemaru, electric-type like Naboris and steel-type as well~

[A picture is attached of a Togemaru, blepping at the camera. There are at least two others visible in the background of what is a lab filled with a truly staggering amount of clutter, as well as what might be a Klink, a Klefki, and an Empoleon.]

I study them, but I do dabble in battling, and it's pretty popular over here too. there very much are safety measures!!! you don't push your pokemon hard enough that they'll get hurt.

[prayers-to-hyliarceus]

hello HELLO! good to see you over there, urbosa!

name's purah, you're probably familiar with it, but you're probably not actually familiar with me. or the revali you've spoken with. (who is currently sulking on the other side of my lab.)

and... alright how do I explain this to someone from a non-pokemon hyrule...

okay so. every choice you make, you could choose something else, right? and while the world you're in is the one where you chose that thing, there's the possibility of you having chosen that other thing, and so another world exists where you did choose that other thing, capice? capice.

but of course, everyone makes TONS of choices every day. so there are a lot of different worlds out there.

revali and I are from a pretty different hyrule from yours—pokemon have always existed for us—but we still know a you. and I'm betting you know a me, too.

anyway, the way you're talking to people? it's called rotomblr. it connects to the multiverse, allowing people to talk to others from drastically different worlds! I'm studying it.

...which is to say that revali is the only one in our world with this connection and so I steal his account for science sometimes. you understand. probably. maybe.

also I hope that explanation made sense! if it doesn't, let me know what part confuses you, and I'll explain better. still good to see you!

—Purah (@eliteoftheskies)

The Sheikah scientist? Yes, I do know you.

read the whole thing before you jump to conclusions.

What do you—

Ah. I… see. Not really. I… think I understand it? Kind of? Essentially there are just a lot of worlds very much like one or the other, but sometimes with vastly different circumstances.

Could have done without the decision-making analogy, I think. That confused me a little too much.

yeah that’s basically it i think. Purah explains this stuff pretty well.

[eliteoftheskies]

note... to... self... leave out... decision-making analogy... next time!

because let's be honest there will be a next time

Anyway hi hello yes so I'm a Purah but not the one you know. Which is to say that I also know an Urbosa—the fact that you ended up with a Blitzle is genuinely hilarious for reasons that I think might blow your mind a little for reasons we can get into later.

Welcome to the world of pokemon! ...well, kinda. you said you'd been here for like a week? how much do you know about pokemon already?

[A video is embedded. Link and Zelda are walking along the streets of Veilstone, likely to clear their minds. Epona trots alongside them, and Celebi snuggles into Zelda's hood.]

"Look! Now I have video evidence that I am doing just fine."

[Link, Celebi, and Epona all give her a very unimpressed and completely unconvinced look.]

"Well, that aside, I thought it would be fun if we took a video of ourselves properly exploring the city. And me hopefully gaining at least a little more information out of Satori, afterwards."

[As they turn a corner, they notice a zebra-like Pokémon, except mostly black-furred with white stripes, wandering around at the end of the street.]

"Oh, Goddess, that's an adorable Pokémon! That one over there!"

[Rotom snickers, typing on the screen:

"She says that about every Pokémon, bzrt. Blitzle are native to Unova, though...?"]

[Zelda freezes abruptly. Rotom beeps in confusion, and redirects the camera to a tall, red-haired woman, clad in colorful, light clothing accentuated with gold, following the Blitzle. Certainly, the woman's rather bare outfit looks quite out of place, considering how cold Sinnoh is, but that doesn't really explain why Zelda just stopped short.]

[Link is frozen in place as well.]

[Zelda's mouth moves, seemingly to form a word, but all that comes out is a choked breath.]

[And then she breaks into a full sprint, shouting one word, one name.]

"URBOSA!"

[The woman turns with a startled look.] "Zelda...?"

[Zelda stops in front of the woman, panting, staring up desperately into the woman's eyes. Eyes that are the same emerald green as hers.]

"Zelda, are you--"

"Is it really you?" [Zelda gasps.] "Am I dreaming? Are you-- Do you know--"

"Little bird." [Zelda's breath hitches, and the woman places a hand on her shoulder.] "It is me. You are not dreaming. Are you alright?"

[Link has been standing by Zelda with wide eyes, and the poor Blitzle is looking on with deep confusion.]

"You... you're..." [Celebi chirps, nuzzling against Zelda, and Epona whines.] "You're real."

[She would probably swear that she throws her arms around Urbosa just to test her "theory." That is what Zelda would call it. Just a scientific theory.]

"Oh, little bird..."

[Link doesn't even look dumbfounded anymore, but his melancholy could be mistaken for blankness.]

[Zelda does pull away eventually, sniffling and rubbing at her eyes.]

"I don't know, Rotom, post the video if you want. Urbosa, I promise I can explain, and also the... haircut..."

"Personally, I think that you pull off short hair quite fabulously." [Urbosa chuckles, and Zelda smiles weakly.] "As with you, Link. Long hair suits you."

[Link looks very pleased with himself.]

"I missed you. So much."

[Rotom decides to end the video here with a concerned buzz.

"Yikes! Wonder what happened with them..."]

[prayers-to-hyliarceus]

...Ah. Hm. Hello. Is this working?

Well. I suppose I ought to introduce myself. At least according to Zelda, before this... 'Rotomblr', becomes... concerned, apparently. My name is Urbosa, Gerudo Chieftess, and I'll admit that I am more than a little confused at everything that is going on.

I've been in this world for about a week now, I believe, and I do have a Pokémon. This Blitzle here. Her name is Naboris, and I love her dearly.

Now-- little bird. Is everything alright?

[eliteoftheskies]

Too late! Already concerned!

also give zelda a fucking hug she needs it more than mine

[prayers-to-hyliarceus]

The last time I checked, your name was Revali, not Rotomblr.

I've been giving her as many hugs as possible.

she is also crying. a lot.

yeah i... missed you too, Urbosa.

I won't pretend that I'm very concerned as to... why you miss me so much, but that is something to unpack later, it seems.

that is DEFINITELY something to unpack later, believe me.

[eliteoftheskies]

my name is NOT rotomblr thank you VERY much!!!

Rotomblr is... how we're communicating? She was using it to refer to the collective of individuals in contact through it. Presumably.

now I'm making this purah's problem because for the love of hylia I do NOT have a technical explanation in me today

[eliteoftheskies]

URBOSA?????

but i thought your versions of us were... dead...???

[prayers-to-hyliarceus]

Revali???

No, we're... most certainly not dead-- Zelda, what is going on?

[eliteoftheskies]

……I’m getting Purah I am NOT giving you the multiverse talk
