Yellow: Lancelot, how old are you? Like do you know your birthday?
Lancelot: It's been awhile since I asked. One moment.
*Lancelot drops a textbook on the ground.*
Archer: You are ten years old; you're too old to be so clumsy.
Lancelot: I'm ten now!!!
“Hello, Gorgeous” - Notes from the Author
Hello, my friends! If you’ve been following my longfic “Hello, Gorgeous”, then thank you! I appreciate it!
I have some notes that I want to share, just so you understand how much hard work has gone into it! I think details and things like that are wonderful. I also think it helps understand the mindset of the author.
Headcanons, if you will. At least, for this particular fanfic.
Let’s go!
Lance:
- Proton is not exaggerating when he calls him “gorgeous”. Lance is quite tall (6 foot six inches) with a sculpted body. On an off-day, his body looks like Dwayne Johnson and Joe Manganiello put together. On a good day, Lance looks like a literal personification of a sex god.
- The reason he isn’t snatched up like a hot roll is that while his face and personality is to die for, he’s actually quite shy and clueless about romance. He also doesn’t dress in anything but his jumpsuit and cape, so he hides up his body.
- Lance is also quite religious and he chocks up his inability to keep girlfriends due to “lifestyle differences” (ahemmmmm).
- Lance knows martial arts, specifically the Dragon Clan style. He is a master expert.
- Proton cooks better than Lance. The only thing Lance is good at making is eggs.
- Lance can bench up to 600 pounds.
- Lance’s favorite genre of movie is action. Specifically, he enjoys the police/detective action flicks.
- Lance’s favorite snack are cinnamon rolls and protein shakes.
- His full title is Indigo Plateau Pokemon Champion Lance.
- His League title is “Special Operations Detective”. This title is entirely made up by the League so Lance can feel good about breaking up raids and whatnot. But Lance really does believe he’s a detective.
- Lance is actually bad at guessing twists or answers in movies/books.
- Lance is a frequent visitor of the Kimono Dance Theater. His favorite dancer is Miki. He likes her silent observation as well as her slender figure (which looks boyish).
- Lance was raised as an heir to the Dragon Clan along with Clair. While he is older than Clair by several years, he is considered the first born son. Therefore, a lot of his education did include things like diplomacy, creative pursuits, and mannerisms.
- He passed his Dragon test at the age of 11, which allowed him to leave Blackthorn to pursue training. Much to his grandfather’s dislike. Lance is the youngest one to do so.
- Lance’s mother is named Miriam and his maternal grandfather is the Dragon Clan Elder. His father’s name is Siegfried.
- Lance is his birth name (by his mother’s admission) but his Clan names are different. His “juvenile” moniker roughly translates to “Child at Water’s Edge”. His current moniker is “Dragon Between Sea and Sky”. When he ascends as Dragon Clan Elder, he will be given a new name.
- Lance speaks three languages. He speaks (English/Japanese) but he also speaks “commoner” Dragon Clan language as well as a secret “royal” Dragon Clan language reserved only for the family of the Dragon Clan Elder. These languages are not available for anyone outside the Dragon Clan.
- Lance is considered a Pokémon battling genius.
- While Lance has a kind and stern personality, he has a terrible temper. When he’s drunk, he flies into a totally different kind of person. He is belligerent, obscene, and gets into fights. (Kind of why he’s not allowed to drink anymore).
- In bed, Lance tries very hard to be patient and loving. He lasts about a minute before he gets... very, very rough. Dragon blood, you know.
- Lance likes Proton and his confidence. The most attractive thing about Proton to Lance is his ability to feel assured and secure in himself, regardless of the situation.
- Lance also likes it when Proton stands up for him or asks for more ketchup packets. He also asks Proton to send food back for him. So it makes sense that Proton “runs” his household.
- Lance’s favorite accessory are his capes.
- Lance has a kimono fetish and will definitely buy one for Proton.
- Lance is overly concerned with “image” and “appearance”, mainly because it was instilled in him at a very young age.
- Proton is his first boyfriend.
Proton:
- Proton is not his real name. He has three names depending on the organization. He is known as “Lance” to the League (which causes confusion). His title in Team Rocket is “Eyes of Giovanni”.
- Proton is from Nimbasa. His mother was a working class single mother and very rough. She had several boyfriends as he grew up. Not all of them were nice men.
- Proton is about 5′10 or 5′11. His eyes are what people notice first.
- Proton lives for roughness and tenderness at the same time. He likes the idea of a traditional household where he can play “housewife”. But he also gravitates towards the idea of a “rough” boyfriend/husband that can dominate him.
- His IQ level is considered genius, but he lacks discipline.
- Proton’s favorite movie genre is sci-fi. Specifically, the ones about space. He might be a nerd about some movies.
- Proton drinks more coffee than normal people. His favorite snack are Slowpoke tails, which he eats in secret from Lance.
- All of his methods of intimidation, torture, and murder are shocking, if not original. His crimes make the front page and have inspired horror movies.
- Proton is the most popular Team Rocket Executive, often popular with young girls and boys. He’s aware of this and uses it to his advantage in order to gain new recruits/get what he wants.
- He is considered extremely handsome and trendy. His build is a slender athleticism that is more flexible and lightweight compared to Lance.
- Proton practices yoga to keep his body trim and flexible.
- It’s not known what Proton’s mental disorders include, but it’s speculated he has antisocial personality disorder (sociopathic), sadism, and manic delusions bordering on obsessive behaviors. He also is thought to have an aggressive trigger that is often separate from his sociopath tendencies, meaning that he truly enjoys the infliction of pain and recognizes the need for business.
- Before Lance, Proton had a string of male lovers that he often disposed of when he was bored with them or sucked them financially dry before doing away with them. Most of them were built, muscular men that were not very smart.
- Proton is an artist and knows a great deal about art. He has sold some paintings.
- Proton is an expert in technological devices and gadgets. He built the tracker in Lance’s Gear as well as the texting system that Teru uncovered. He also built the bomb used to kill Mr. Game. He also created the invisible device that helps him sneak around.
- Proton spends half of his fortune on clothes. He has entire closets filled with clothes and shoes. He moved his clothes into Lance’s home closer to the date they were to finally meet (the infamous raid that went wrong) and put some of them in the back of Lance’s closet. The other clothes are actually hidden in parts of Lance’s home.
- Proton is a master of changing clothes.
- Proton loves Lance and is the first man that Proton ever truly loved. Lance is also the only man that Proton considered marrying and having children with.
- Proton’s favorite quality about Lance is his willingness to be kind and protective. Seeing Lance be a hero makes him melt every time.
- While Proton loves Lance, he does think very little of his intelligence and considers Lance to be the “hot one”.
- His favorite accessory is his circular sunglasses.
- While Proton claims that he “knew he was gay at the age of five”, the closer truth is that he had a suspicion he was gay when he turned 13. He seduced a another male classmate (who had previously bullied him) and fucked with his classmate’s head afterwards. The classmate wound up being committed after an attempt due to a broken heart and Proton thought the idea of being that crazy for him was hot.
- Proton did have sex with a girl, but he did not like it and killed her.
- Petrel was the one who found and recruited Proton. Petrel mentored him through Rocket’s businesses, but everything else was Proton’s own natural ability to lead and strike fear.
- Proton often stands up for Lance or does things that Lance might be too shy to do (such as sending food back). He also kills people who mock Lance for being gay.
- Proton was Petrel’s best man at the wedding. This was where Proton decided he wanted to pursue Lance after years of pining after him.
- Proton’s natural accent used to be thicker, but he dropped it so people couldn’t identify him.
- In the bedroom, Proton is often the one to take charge. However, he has a secret (even to him) desire to be submissive and only lets Lance see that.
- Contrary to his position on Pokémon, Proton’s favorite Pokémon are Slowpokes and would like to catch one. Not just for the tails, but because he likes the “cute, dopey look”. Much like Lance’s cute, dopey look...
- Proton specifically trained his Golbat and Victreebell to eat people.
- At this point, Proton has already picked out the engagement ring, the wedding colors/themes/decor, wedding location, honeymoon location, and their children’s names. He also picked out their shared grave plot. He’s just waiting for Lance to “catch up”.
- If someone comes between him and Lance, Proton will do anything necessary to remove them.
Made for Team Rocket - Notes from the Author
Hello! It's me again!
My "Hello, Gorgeous" notes got some traction, so I decided to upload the "Made for Team Rocket" notes. These notes I use to propel the story and keep track.
We'll try to keep the list small and I may update more!
Amarillo "Yellow" : the protagonist and central main character.
- She is around seven years old.
- Yellow has long blonde hair that she puts up in a ponytail. When she was a feral child, she never washed her hair out so stones and sticks would be stuck in it.
- Yellow has no concept of the modern world. Things like alarm clocks, computers, automated voices, and cameras baffle her. While her stay at Rocket made her more accustomed, she still does not understand many things.
- She also does not know modern slang or lingo. Even some words escape her.
- Yellow is naturally curious, which often replaces her fear in situations. So she asks many questions, much to the chagrin of many people.
- Yellow is naturally rebellious as she never had a real "parental" authority figure. Mother Forest allowed her to roam and be free for the most part. So rules seem silly to her.
- Due to her living in the forest, Yellow was quite emaciated and thin by medical standards. She weighed less than a toddler and her bones were apparent. Her eyes appeared larger because of no fat in her face, making her appear "fairy-like" or "unnatural".
- There were legends about her from passing travelers, claiming they saw a "fairy" child or a "forest spirit". Due to her appearance, the rumors were fueled more and more.
- Yellow has the strongest Pokemon connection out of Giovanni and Lancelot. She can understand any Pokemon thought and has potential to outpace Giovanni.
- Yellow has the weakest Pokemon stats raise, followed by Lancelot and Giovanni.
- Yellow has the lowest command of Pokemon (level 45). Lancelot and Giovanni have higher commands.
- Yellow has the average healing power. Giovanni has the highest power (he's older) and Lancelot has the lowest. However, she is expected to outpace Giovanni.
- Yellow's "gifted" powers that are not given to Giovanni/Lancelot are full restore healing, foresight/future sight, and the ability to heal humans. (this may be added for more later).
- Yellow's favorite food are apples.
- Yellow's favorite friend at Team Rocket is Lancelot followed by Petrel.
- Yellow does not know who her parents are. Mother Forest has masqueraded as her mother since she was a baby.
- Yellow and Mother Forest are very close.
- Yellow's favorite Pokemon is Pikachu.
- She has a flaw of impatience as well as being unruly, flying into rages when she feels trapped. This is exacerbated when the "forest powers" consume her and controls her.
- Yellow does not read or write at her level.
Lancelot: secondary protagonist
- He is nine years old, about to turn ten.
- He was brought to Team Rocket as a baby, exactly six hours after he was born. He has never left this place and has never seen the outside world.
- He is the only forest child who has never heard Mother Forest's voice.
- Lancelot is very tall for his age. His eyes are gold and his hair is pinkish-red.
- Lancelot's hair gives Archer a headache. Archer cuts his hair and forces it to be "straight" because the hair is naturally spiky. Archer also has to cut it more frequently because it grows so fast.
- Lancelot has no idea of modern music. He is only allowed to listen to classical. He has never seen television, played video games, or read graphic novels. He has never even read a fictional novel.
- Lancelot is generally curious, but reserves it for finding information. He knows more information than most of Team Rocket.
- Lancelot has a special task by Archer where he reads Pokemon minds to determine if the trainer is a double agent or truly wanting to join. He earns the moniker "Ratcatcher".
- Lancelot was told that his mother died and he was rescued. Archer refuses to elaborate further.
- Lancelot has the weakest healing rate of the three (Giovanni and Yellow).
- Lancelot has average stat raise (Giovanni is ahead of him).
- Lancelot has the weakest Pokemon connection. However, this is due to psychological influence by Archer so it inhibits him.
- Lancelot has average command of Pokemon (up to level 60). However, it might be because he's commanding the wrong type of Pokemon.
- Lancelot's special powers that are not shared are total command and mastery of dragons/dragon-like Pokemon, inducing rage in all Pokemon, manipulation of dreams, and "warrior" spirit that creates bravery in all Pokemon regardless of circumstance. (might change later).
- Lancelot's favorite food is red meat, but he says it's fish so people don't get weirded out by him.
- Lancelot's favorite person in Team Rocket is Lixue and has a crush on her.
- Lancelot, much to his distaste, considers Yellow his only friend and he considers Petrel his favorite Executive.
- Lancelot does not believe in Mother Forest.
- Lancelot's flaw is that he is reckless and headstrong, something that Archer considers "disobedience". He also flies into violent rages when the "forest power" consumes him where he could level rooms.
- Lancelot's reading and writing is considered a high school level, but whether or not he simply regurgitates it or understands it is Archer's issue with it.
Made for Team Rocket - Updated!
It’s been a really difficult month, especially having COVID/missing Christmas/having to deal with work.
But for YOU, I updated!
[Excerpt]
Proton didn’t back down, but he still had his mouth shut. Lancelot used his heels to keep himself on the ground and made a stiff bowing motion towards his master. Archer took no notice of the silent child as he eyed the electronic sparring board in the back.
“I must not be speaking loud enough,” Archer said, “Who authorized this?”
Proton took an obvious route, “The board.”
Yellow blew out some air as she read a random equipment inscription for the fourth time. Archer didn’t humor that one bit and turned to his student. Lancelot straightened back up, making sure to keep his gaze at eye-level.
“Lancelot,” Archer made sure to throw full weight behind his words, “Who authorized this?”
The boy allowed himself one blink before answering, “The board.”

Made for Team Rocket - Updated! Chapter 16
Updated with a new chapter! Still has that “publish now” freshness.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/30543795/chapters/91917199
Excerpt:
“Do find out what they’re hiding,” Archer reminded her, “And I’ll find out from Lancelot.”
“Oh yes, the little rat. Still skulking around for information, much like you?”
“Ariana, my dear friend, I know my student well. Whatever he finds out, it is because I allow him to find out. Unlike you, I keep him on a tight leash. Something Silver could benefit from before he grows old enough.”
Low blow. Ariana pretended to not let it bother her.
“Silver is a prince. You have a servant,” she stated, “A servant that messed everything up, mind you. Something I know you have a great deal of knowledge about.”
Archer’s face didn’t change expression, but she knew she struck a chord. In seconds, his arm swiftly pressed the warp tile.
“Change the password, Ariana.”
Yellow: Someone was mean to me!!!
Archer: Have you tried being less annoying?
Ariana: Be much more mean back.
Petrel: Don't worry, they're dead now.
*meanwhile*
Lancelot: Someone was--
Proton: Trust me, I am gonna be way worse.
The rest of Lance Appreciation Week Stories! (3-7)
I realized that I didn’t post these stories! I did work on them, so why not!
WHO IS THE CAPED CRUSADER? (mystery)
Prompt: 3rd prompt: All versions of Lance! From R/B/Y to now!
https://archiveofourown.org/works/35088931/chapters/87673627
Excerpt:
VIGILANTE STRIKES AGAIN—SAVIOR OF POKEMON?
More reports of a caped vigilante roaming the streets at night and rescuing Pokemon from certain fate. Police suspect that it is a member of a radical environmental group and warn… More on Page 24
“Must be a slow news day!” Trevor exclaimed as he tossed the headline in the garbage, “Vigilante! Wears a cape! What sort of things do they come up with to sell the funnies?”
Their Eyes Spell Trouble (drama/comedy)
Prompt 4: Young/Past Lance
https://archiveofourown.org/works/35088931/chapters/87680779#workskin
Excerpt:
“Grandpa!” the boy said, his pout loud and proud, “I was gonna fly!”
“Lance,” the Elder scolded, pulling the child towards him, “Do you believe that you, a small boy, will suddenly sprout wings and fly off a tall cabinet?”
His grandson shrugged. “Yes?”
The Elder allowed his cane to drop Lance back onto the child’s rear, letting Lance rub his leg in discomfort. He could see a growing disdain and restlessness that was apparent in all whelplings—his daughter was not shaping Lance into the proper disciple he needed to be.
So much of Miriam was in Lance’s spirit. Stubbornness, yearning, wildness… honestly, the Elder thought he was done with this when Miriam grew of age and married off to her husband. Funny way of the Great Dragon Spirit to prove how wrong he was.
They even looked alike. While Miriam had long, silky blonde hair and Lance had red hair, they shared the same eyes. Even the same smile and pout.
But the eyes spelled trouble. Eighteen years of hell, in The Elder's experience.
May I Come Down? (oral ghost story/humor)
5th Prompt: Seasonal/Holiday Lance!
https://archiveofourown.org/works/35088931/chapters/87773437#workskin
Excerpt:
“Don’t be silly! It’s just a house!”
After building a fire and securing the doors, Clair went off to sleep and Lance stayed up to keep watch over the fire. He still couldn’t shake the feeling of the cabin, even with sleep creeping into his senses.
However, at a quarter to midnight, he heard rustling in the chimney. Startled, he looked up and wondered if a Pokémon had gotten in there to avoid the storm. Thinking it best to not say anything to Clair, he kept his mouth shut.
But the rustling got louder before a low, raspy voice came from the chimney.
“May I come down?”
Lance jumped out of skin. Was someone stuck in the chimney?
Don't Waste the Bullet (western/drama)
6th Prompt: Different Type!
https://archiveofourown.org/works/35088931/chapters/87804466#workskin
Excerpt:
Another voice came to the woman’s defense and from an older boy, “Let my mother and little brother go. Send them back to the town. I’ll do whatever you want. Please. We lost our father last winter. They need each other.”
“My condolences,” Archer replied, unfurling the signature sheet, “Play your cards right, boy, and you won’t see him for some time.”
“I won’t sign the land over,” the woman spat right at Archer’s boots, “Let my sons go to town. Do what you will with me. But let my sons go to town. We have no guns.”
Archer glanced over at the youngest boy who still said nothing. He might be a little slow and, given his size, quite stupid. Tiny child with legs that barely held his head up. A day out in the unforgiving desert would kill him for sure.
“Proton. Petrel,” Archer said, motioning to the small child, “Grab the boy. Let’s make this sale official.”
Hot Commodity Bachelor Auction (Choose Your Own Adventure/Humor)
7th Prompt: Free Day!
https://archiveofourown.org/works/35088931/chapters/87871216#workskin
Excerpt:
“It’s for charity, Lance. Don’t be so close-minded.”
“It’s prostitution!”
Steven Stone chuckled at the very idea of Lance dressing himself up for a paid escort and adult date. “It’s not prostitution. Nobody is requiring you to do anything more than show up, make small talk, and eat a free dinner. Really, Lance, so dramatic.”
Lance scowled into the sign-up sheet that his (soon-to-be-ex) best friend shoved under his nose. His name was printed across the top by Steven’s own computer and signed off by the billionaire.
Bachelor Auction. An auction, as if Lance was livestock for market! Weren't there laws against this? Some PSAs on how people shouldn’t be sold for romantic interludes? Surely, nobody would be interested in buying him for a date!
He was Lance, cape-wearing hero and purveyor of dragon types! Nobody was interested in that…
“If you don’t do it,” Steven read his mind and pout perfectly clear, “I’ll be forced to extend my own hand. And you know how Metagross adores playing tag with you. Be a big boy and do this charity event with a big boy smile instead of squirreling away in your office or Dragon Den.”
Lance glared, “You wouldn’t do that to me. We’re friends.”
“I’m also a businessman. Business before friends,” his friend reminded him, “You are a hot commodity. I’ve done this for years and I would like to step aside for another eligible single man for once. Your name and elusive singleness will bring in a lot of money for this charity. So don’t be selfish and show up in a suit.”
“And what charity is this? Why can’t I donate the money?” Lance stared at the paper again as if he could burn a hole through it.
“Underprivileged orphans, Lance, and no. I want to build a resort nearby and I need to kick them out next year.”
“Wait, you’re kicking out—”
“Good grief, Lance, I’m giving them another less-than-desirable location so it’s not like they’ll be homeless.” Steven interrupted him as if he was insulted, “Really, my dear friend, you should think of others. Like me.”
Lance questioned if he should.
