Another comic dub has hit my blog, this time being the climax to @diamondpastry's trainwreckshipping comics, Revelation 2! This was a blast to record and edit, being my longest comic dub yet with the most voices (7 voices for 5 characters), music (from DPP and PLA), and images (10 pages and a total of 111 individual images edited for the video).
Thank you so much to @diamondpastry for letting me dub this (even though I did a lot of the work before getting an answer), and if you want it in a bit better quality, I'll have it up on Youtube around this time as well!
Volume Warning around 1:28 and 2:06
Howdy all been a minute, hope your doing well, today I wanna discuss the strange apartment in ZA
Ya know the one where that weird dude Ganger becomes friends with, sets free then reunited with Gengar
Now on the surface this just looks like an abandoned apartment nothing super interesting besides us being able to return to it after the mission with him
That is until we find an interesting poster of Professor Laventon!
Now that doesn’t sound too crazy right? Until you realize in the words of the famous archeologist Indiana Jones
Now what would you think if I told you it was once in a museum
Until recently when a strange fellow made a trade for the portrait?
What could he have had to trade that the Lumiose Museum would be interested in?
That’s right Volo’s celestia clothing which unlike this portrait was kept in amazing some might even say unusually pristine condition
And as many have already noticed it was donated recently by the owner
Volo, yes they have confirmed he’s alive and has been around the present day since the DPP saga as told by the NPC he had interacted with
How did Volo survive? Who can say but I’m pretty sure he’s going to make an appearance on Pokemon Day, and we’ll battle him in Legends ZA
Why do I think this? Well
Some folks had been monkeying around inside the code of the game, and found there is one Z Mega Pokemon we haven’t gotten yet
Mega Garchomp Z
And apparently it won’t be a mystery gift or a rank battle reward but a special reward for defeating a special player
Now I know what your probably thinking
“Dani you cutie patootie Cynthia could be that trainer!”
“Dani you absolute brainy it could be Sycamore he has a Garchomp too!”
And first off thank you for the compliments I’m blushing 🥰🥰🥰
But! These folks while they snooped around found that neither Cynthia nor Sycamore have a model in the game and there is some dialogue connected to Volo
Y’all I think he’s gonna come back we battle him and his new team and we get the Garchompite Z
And in the next Legends Game I’m sure he’ll have a bigger role as a central antagonist of the trilogy
Laventon: Sometimes facing your fears head on is the best way to realize they aren’t actually scary.
You: Yeah I totally agree. Like when I climbed Mount Coronet during a lighting storm and demanded to be struck by lightning. I didn’t get hurt at all and now I’m not even scared of God anymore.
fuck you it's autistic infodumping time pokemon legends arceus spoilers under the cut
Volo is, for all intensive purposes, a complete idiot. Like. A TOTAL dumbass. A charming, manipulative dumbass, but a dumbass all the same.
Let's go over the easiest thing to point out first; If Arceus wasn't going to show up for the MC, its chosen hero, until they had "sought out all Pokémon", then it obviously wouldn't have shown up for this random blonde twink who decided that complete and utter global wide genocide was the solution to his problems. Even if he had won and gotten all of the plates and played the flute, Arceus would have taken one look at who was trying to summon it and went "wow okay, no." Why would God go "fuck, my literal child hero got defeated. guess i gotta bend to the will of this batshit insane dude with a shitty hairstyle and destroy everything i created." when it could just. Not do that.
Secondarily, by helping the MC in order to manipulate them into doing what he wanted later on, bro was basically giving them a loaded gun to use against him later. He's inadvertently the reason they managed to create the red chain, which eventually lead to them catching a literal God of their own. By the time he gets to the point where he betrays them, he has basically played a part in giving them access to 2 Gods and 3 Mythical, God-Like beings. Even if he wasn't expecting them to use them in the final fight, they'd still have the ability to whip them out whenever they so pleased. He might of had Giratina, but now they have access to two of Arceus's favored children *and* the lake guardians. Bro did not think that through.
Finally, and might I add, another obvious point; he. he could have just. not revealed his big plan to the MC prior to taking the plates? like. if he said "may I see the plates? I have an idea!" they probably would have handed them over. maybe not, but telling them that he was about to kill them and everyone that they loved before at least trying that was. not very smart. him being completely and utterly confident in his ability to defeat them as well despite the revelation of his true intentions was also not smart. he watched this kid blaze through the whole region, befriend gods, and tame gigantic beasts, and thought "no yeah my demon worm has this in the BAG." like ok sweetie. whatever you say.
tldr volo is a big dummy. also i haven't actually replayed the game in a while so maybe i got some things inconsistent but uhhh. yea.
