Have team scarlet ranked up to C yet? We haven't seen much mentioned about their rank recently even before the whole situation with Nia

Not officially! They could definitely do so, but they’re kind of busy saving the world right now, as well as managing Nia’s loss. Seeker rank hasn’t ever been a top priority for Nia and Tobias anyways, aside from giving them more freedom to pursue their actual goals.

If evolution was working, which points of the story would Nia, Tobias and Samir have evolved at? (I assume Junie is too lazy to get strong enough to evolve, plus she wouldn't want toose the privilege of resting in Nia's neck fluff)

Ha! Yeah, Junie would take a lot longer to even be able to evolve since she isn't regularly training or battling.

As for the others...

Tobias would've evolved into a charmeleon closer to the beginning of the story, at least by the trip to Ghatha around chapter 20. He would've evolved into a charizard fairly recently, though. Maybe in the mountains when he and Samir were training in the tunnels! 🤔

Nia probably would've evolved via an affection bond around chapter 68, when she read Tobias' aura.

Samir actually would've evolved around the same time as Tobias, during their trip to the mountains! If not there, then shortly afterwards in one of the dungeons they tackled near the Haven.

If Nia were a charmander, how different would things have been? Would tobias have treated her differently at the start?

Ooh. Tobias might’ve been less understanding of Nia's situation, actually!

While aura is something Tobias couldn’t relate to and understood Nia being overwhelmed by, I could see him getting more irritated if she was a charmander! In a very, "This is so easy, why can't you just do it?!" sort of way. He wasn't great at getting out of his own head and showing patience at the beginning of the story, after all. ^^'

I've been wondering a few things so I'll put them in this ask

What does it look like from a pokemon's perspective when a human arrives? Do they appear from orange lights like the first two games or do they fall from the sky like Gates to Infinity?

If we won't find out in-story, what regions in which world are Will, Junie, Fane and Hazel from? Did any of them know what pokemon were prior to becoming one? We know Junie is German but not if she's from a world like Nia's or ours

How old were Silas and Aria when they were attacked by Team Zenith?

It's more of a flash of light situation!

I'm not sure where Will is from. Either the United States, Canada, or the UK. 🤔 Junie is from Germany, Fane was from South America, and Hazel is from somewhere in the southern United States! None of them knew what Pokemon was before coming to the Seekers world, though. Hazel did come from our world, so Pokemon would've existed as a media franchise there, but she came to the Seekers world before the franchise came into existence.

Silas and Aria were around 33-38 years old when they died!

I'm assuming that moves removed from recent games are still usable in seekers?

Because foresight was removed in gen 8, so Nia would become basically useless against Will

Correct!!! If a Pokemon was able to use a move in any of the mainline games, it's viable in Seekers, even if the attack was removed in the most recent games. 😌

[teshadraws]

If Seekers had the traditional levelling system of PMD, what level would Team Scarlet be as of the latest chapter?

I'd say Nia and Tobias are around level 34 or 35, and Samir is probably around level 30 or 31!

Junie is like. Level 12. 😂 She is not interested in combat.

Has giratina fallen dormant now? I noticed that he wasn't really mentioned last chapter

Nope! He’s close, though.

Informing Giratina just wasn’t Team Scarlet’s top priority before passing out, since he’s too weak to really do much right now. It was more important for Nia and the others to alert August and the guild so they could physically intervene.

Giratina will be discussed, don’t worry.

[teshadraws]

Correct! In the time since Giratina and Nia talked in Shivergleam around chapter 50, Mew has fallen dormant. Any human souls that drift across the border now will turn into yamask.

And I'd say Giratina finally convinced Mew to go home to rest, despite how she pushed herself to help until the very end. All of the legendaries have a protected hideaway somewhere in the physical world, and Mew's is in a jungle somewhere as homage to the first movie!!!
