I love your legendary council! Could you give us some headcanons?
Yes!! I’ve been meaning to write down the HC I have.
- Arceus, known as Head-Head Council Ace, is mostly the main vote. Even if all the other council members vote one way if he feels strongly enough about a law their voting on he can pass or deny it. The other Gods don’t put up much of a fight because Arceus can still see in the filter in his human form and they can’t.
- Mew, Co-Head-Head Council Mini, is more on the physical aspect. When their called for high emergencies she usually goes with the regions representatives.
- Mew also keeps most tabs on Ash since she’s mostly needed in legendary form.
- the other news are her helpers! Like the one protecting the Tree of Life and Blueberry, the newest Mew in the world and a shiny (obviously an OC)
- most mythical Pokémon and sub-Legendaries are helpers as well. Sub-Legendaries stay mostly in field work. Keeping tabs on their spots and taking on extra tasks when the main Legendaries have to change into their human form for work.
-mythical Pokémon, like Victini and Keldeo, help with paperwork. All very important league paperwork goes through the council as well so they help keep it neat and tidy. This is also why Pokémon like Victini don’t get seen often is because their the ones that mostly take care in filing work.
- there are obvious exceptions such as Keldeo, Darkrai, Volcanion, and others that do or prefer field work over paperwork and some who are trained to be in field work then paperwork.
- there are also other Sub-Legendaries and Mythicals that also don’t do either paperwork or field work. Their not even on the council note have a human form. Example: Ultra Beasts! They don’t live on earth so Arceus found it best suited not to give them a human form, especially since Ash and Alolan Co. return them back to their own world in just a day.
- this means Necrozma and Eternatus also don’t have human forms. Even though Eternatus has been on earth for a while it’s still to volatile to be let on the council nor have a human form.
- when a legendary goes into “slumber” it’s really just them going into their human form. A separate being from their Pokémon form. The bodies are kept in special cryo chambers that only the council members know. Switching is easy on the mind but the human body must be in their designated chamber before switching. This can be a problem sometimes when the legendary/sub-Legendaries/mythical is needed in ‘Mon form but their in their human form in a different building than their cryo chambers.
- this is solved by having multiple designated chambers in different places across the globe. Each stadium, up to league code so places not like Spikemuth, has a secret room that the Council members only know and can be the only ones who access it with a special code and a scan of their eye.
- Ash is the only one out of the Champions so far to meat the majority of the High Council and the only one to meet both Co-Head and Head-Head council Mini and Ace.
- Ash’s farther, Aaron (another OC), held the longest Champion title by 40 years. Which was 10 more the Mustards. He was also another one who Mew the majority of the High Council and even was sought after by both Ace and Mew for his opinion since he was level headed and looked through everything front and back to see loopholes or something hidden in the words.
- Ash had met a good chunk of them at his dad’s funeral, death by a rare lung cancer, while at the age of 5. He doesn’t remember most of them but does remember Ace and Mini since they showed up a few more times in his life to make sure he and his mom were doing okay.
- though Ace doesn’t like to admit it he does let Ash, and his friends at the time, get away with some minor illegal things. Such as interference with national secret police, Champion work before Ahs became Alola’s Champion, E4 work, Gym Leader work, and High Council work. Though this mostly benefits everyone on the field and the council it still puts Ash and his friends at risk and Ace would much rather have Ash live a normal trainer life as much as he can then taunt his own life in front of death.
- some council members are seen more in ther region then others. Head Council Honey and Gia, Ho Oh and Lugia, are very rarely seen out in public and mostly sticks to the shadows. While others such as Head Council Koke; Finnta; Leku; and Bula, the Tapu’s, are constantly seen around the island more so then their ‘Mon form.
