Champion Alain

{He/They} Champion of Kalos. Usually at the Lumiose Labs. I guess. If you wanted to find me for some reason??

[megamishaps]

I guess I have this now?

Hi, I'm Alain, champion of Kalos. I'm also working at the Lumiose Labs mostly, helping to research Mega Evolution and all that. Uh, I use he/they pronouns, obviously live in Kalos... I can't really think of anything else for now, so I guess that's it?

Nice to be here or something.

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 (my Alain is roleplayed in his mid 20s, around 25 y/o, a few years after the Kalos anime). 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: Alain is a canon character from the Pokémon XYZ anime and The Strongest Mega Evolution Specials, who is alluded to in a couple of the games (specifically ORAS in the Delta Episode and Pokémon Masters). He's one of Ash's rivals, was (unknowingly) a part of Team Flare, and the winner of the Lumiose Conference. This blog takes place a few years after that, in a sort of anime and games fusion universe. Legends Z-A will happen in this universe, but this blog takes place a few years before it. He's the current champion of Kalos, with Diantha having recently quit the title and is also helping Professor Sycamore (who is yet to step down from his position as Director of the Lumiose Lab) with his Mega Evolution research and also just as help around the lab, a position he's had since he was around twelve.

supervising your sleep?

I have my actual team to do that for me, especially Babiri, Razz, and Leichi. In fact, Razz was on my floor, which means to get to my bed, she had to walk either around or on top of her.

[megamishaps]

Good morning to the ponyta in my room, who is for some reason standing ON my bed over me. What.

[megamishaps]

Kid 2 is following me around while kid 1 does some Z-A Royale tonight. We're sticking around for maybe 20 more minutes before calling it a night, but she was insisting on seeing how it works and getting to see a 'pro at work'.

Kid 1 is not a pro at work.

[megamishaps]

Kid 2 is not as into the whole Z-A Royale and battling thing as Kid 1 and yet is insisting on tagging along with the training and expeditions anyway.

So, anyway, that's why I've spent the last ten minutes watching a staryu struggle against a manectric. I tried to tell her she and her staryu do not have to fight the manectric-- hell, Myzie needs more training than Voltage. I am not being listened to.

[megamishaps]

I've been a bit busy helping with research (a lot of research...) and have been keeping up with my self-determined apprentice over text, mostly, since I haven't had much time to visit.

So I go there today, on this fine morning, intent to finally use the breathing room I have to talk to him and see where he's at with his training.

All of a sudden, I have another kid?

[megamishaps]

So, Alain...

Do you like to travel?

Ah... um... not really these days?

I miss some parts about it, I guess. Seeing new things, sleeping under the stars, but I think the whole experience was kind of... ruined for me.

[megamishaps]

So you're the champion of kalos in your world, huh? How is it over there - @offical-kalosian-champion

I wouldn’t say it’s too interesting? We’re all recovering from the Lumiose League incident a few years back and there are still some big changes happening throughout the region as the people in the league have been changing, but we’re doing well as a whole. Much easier now that most of Team Flare has been dealt with as reasonable.

How about your world’s Kalos?

[megamishaps]

Kid asked me to battle him after we were done with the Z-A Royale tonight, so I had Kee train against Myzie, his goomy.

Aaaand next time I'm going to have to teach him how to get around bad type match ups, because a bit of good strategy makes you go a far way. In other news, Kee learned how to manipulate grass-type energy, which makes it a lot easier to bypass Myzie's water-type moves...

[megamishaps]

Post-another successful night in the battle zone. And by successful, I mean my kid is getting better at battling. You always have to be ready to try new things and think up new strategies in battle-- that's part of the fun of it.

[megamishaps]

I can’t stop laughing. I was outside doing something with my team and I hear Cosette yell “Oh FUCK!” and when I turn around I see she accidentally dropped all the food on one of the skiddo… I can’t…

[megamishaps]

It's kind of funny walking around the Battle Zones at night and no one wants to engage with me because my battle display shows that I'm Rank A already. And I'm just like "don't mind me I'm just watching."

[ask-trainernebula]

Alright, Rotumblr, do your thing...

Cutest Pokémon on your team! Go! 😋

(Bonus points for pictures!)

[megamishaps]

Right now? Kee. Here are some old pictures I've already posted of her.

[megamishaps]

Been another few days since I last posted, I think, but some updates:

The shiny fennekin we have technically cannot be given as a starter by the lab for safety and ethics reasons (since she's shiny), but since she's latched onto me it's been decided to officially register her as my pokémon. So, this is Kee!

Second of all: Egg still hasn't hatched. Still don't know what species of pokémon it is. I've been calling it Micle lately.

Third: My new apprentice is doing great! We went out and got him his second pokémon to go with the manectric he inherited from his mother, so now he's got a goomy too.

Mairin's been going around doing field work too, though under the supervision of the lab's research assistants, Dexio and Sina.

I feel like things have changed a lot since a few years ago, and they're only going to keep changing. I can't tell whether I'm nervous or excited about the future.

[megamishaps]

Yep, I was right, today was certainly. A day.

Side note: got home and the shiny fennekin we have at the lab immediately threw herself at me and would not let me put her down, so that’s just a thing she does now I guess.

[megamishaps]

I just got the most foreboding feeling. I feel like today will be… interesting.

In other news, visiting my apparent ‘apprentice’ as he’s taken to calling himself. He’s a good kid, really putting himself out there. His only pokémon right now is his Manectric, but we’re thinking of having him go out and get another sometime soon. Maybe even today.

A question for rotomblr. When you got your partners, how many of you got them from a lab as a set of three choices, from befriending a wild pokemon, or from a class with a partner pokemon included under tuition? And how many of you had troubles with your partner pokemon before making a connection? I've mentioned offhandedly, but part of my job is raising the starters you know and love so that they can be given to new trainers. Lately a new trend has been pokemon partners being assigned at private schools, and I'm wondering how many of you got yours when you started some classes, and how many of you had unorthodox partners!

[megamishaps]

I got Leichi as an egg from Professor Sycamore when I was... 12, almost 13? It was a few months after I moved in. I was actually just helping with all of the starters being raised in the lab at the time (and I still do), but Leichi really latched onto me so we decided she should be my partner.
