I have no idea why, but I thought Mint was Dawn/Lucas/Barry's age. I didn't expect them to be a whole 19 years old XD. Though them being 19, how does Emmet even take them under his wing? Aren't they a little old at that point to need a mentor, even if he has new/weaker pokemon?

Sorry, I'm just trying to understand how Mint and Emmet's dynamic even works after everything calms down. It doesn't seem like Emmet has much to offer besides being a more straightforward person than what their grandma was.

And even if Emmet's a strong trainer what's stopping Mint from just finding some other ace trainer to get tips from? I think you even said Frontier Brain Argenta was their blood relative (who would probably be just as straightforward as Emmet would be in her teachings if they asked her to be their mentor). So wouldn't they gravitate more to her than to Emmet, her being actual family?

IDK if I'm saying my questions right (words are hard), but I guess I'm trying to ask is what makes Emmet the person Mint wants to learn from when they really only knew the man for a collective few days at most (if I'm remembering the timeline of events correctly)?

I can assure you a 29 year old can absolutely mentor a 19 year old. Mint is only just getting an idea of what they want to do and how be a proper adult.

Mint spends allot of the story trying to meet their grandmother expectations or to help the pokemon they perceive to be in danger.

While Ingo is who Mint is chasing and offers some sound advice before he and Akari run off, Emmet is the one Mint will have a few full conversations with long before the kidnapping. Emmet and Elesa ask Mint about the lab they work for and Mint boast about their position and their success and how Team Flora wants to help others. But then when the two start pressing for more details and what the lab has done, Mint starts to put things together and realizes that, yeah, it doesn’t add up at all.

Emmet is the person who helps Mint see the truth. To inspire them to look deeper into what the lab is actually doing. And when Looker makes contact with Mint, to find Proof.

They and Emmet cross paths enough before the eggnapping and kidnapping that they have a respect for each other. When Emmet is kidnapped Mint does everything they can to help him, both getting medical supplies to care for any injuries and to keep his real identity a secret. It’s about a day or two between when Emmet is brought in and when Ingo and the others go to rescue him, so they do talk quite a bit in that time.

And it’s not just a matter of looking up to someone who’s strong. Emmets skill with his Pokémon does not even really factor into Mints respect for him. (Ingo is the one Mint battles usually.) Emmet being so straight forward and honest with Mint is exactly what makes Mint respect him. Right now, everyone else Mint is suppose to work with us either dismissive to them, lying to Them, or clearly lying to themselves to continue working at a place like this.

(Or just entirely to happy with their job, which is what’s going on with Belladonna’s second command researcher, Sarin. He’s the one who does most the hands on experimenting and is a rotten individual.)

Also, Mint isn’t close at all with Argenta. She’s their dad’s older first cousin who visits for holidays occasionally but not much other then that. Argenta is Belladonna’s favorite niece and her successes were always used in comparison to Mints dads. So like, she’s family, but not someone Mint grew up knowing at all.

But yeah, to clear things up: Mint knows Emmet for longer then a few days. They cross paths over a dozen times and Mint was the Lab grunt that would show up when the cops reported capturing ‘Ingo’. (Blaze did not bother because he’s busy actually tracking him down lol)

After the main plot, when everyone is zapped to Unova, Mint is sent by international police to spends a few weeks in Unova with them as they are a VERY valuable witness to everything that happened and there are a handful of dangerous team flora members that got away. (Including the before mentioned doctor Sarin as well as another enforcer character Zhenniii and I have been working on called Scald. Cause every pokemon story needs a post-game plot/villian.)

So it’s durring the time in Unova that Mint gets to know everyone better and they all really bond. But since Emmet was who really helped Mint see the truth of what was happening and the fact that they were there to help him and update him during his kidnapping, the two do become close friends and Mint genuinely looks up to him.

Also Emmet must teach them his ways of resisting electric Pokémons shocks if Mint wants to help with the Hisuian Voltorb and Electrode lol

Say hello to Team Flora!

Recently started to play Blue Rescue Team again but this time I’ve sort of built myself a universe surrounding it just to add a little more enjoyment and story to it for me, I’m in the middle of making sort of a “guide” for it but it involves various districts with legendary Pokemon who govern them and a certain group from one of the districts happen to run into Team Flora and needs their help!

[autumn-sweet-fae]

Hi yes blazes group should be called team reaper bc of houndooms Pokédex entry of being mistaken for the grim reaper in the past (thedoomwhisperer) love the story btw

Ooo, there’s an idea! I like that!

So Blaze does not have a proper human team that he brings with him when he’s hired, having been working solo for the last couple years before this job. So the team of grunts that he leads and bosses around are the ones who are Team Flora’s personal security (including Mint) or lesser hired goons.

Blaze has a reputation of being covert, quick, and confidential. He also always brings back his targets alive and in relatively good shape, which is exactly what Belladonna wants for the rare and valuable Hisuian Pokemon. She also does not want Ingo and Akari dead, but instead put away by her corrupt police contacts, and if they vanish into the prison system well that’s just unfortunate 😌

So at first Blaze wouldn’t need a specific team name as he’s the main guy leading the grunts and directing the Field researchers on what to do to help. 

But

As the weeks goes on and he still has very little to show for all the time and money Belladonna is giving him, she decided to be the petty bitch that she is and call in his old ex partner, Scald, to come in and assist.

And Scald, is an asshole.

He and Blaze got backstory and what started as a good working relationship, became a messy and toxic romantic relationship, and then crashed and burned in a big break up when Blaze got the fuck out of there and took Scalds Magmortar with him.

So Scald has a hired reputation of Getting Results no mater what it takes. Belladonna then dumps the responsibility of rangling the wild card she brought in onto Blaze. Because again, she’s petty like that.

Scald is the one that would cause a divide of the grunts so the ones who stick with Blaze continue to call themselves Team Reaper, while those who follow Scald will come up with a name related to his ace, Seismitoad.

Also, Scald is the mastermind behind the stealing the eggs plot and is the idiot who dropped the basket.

okay so drawing Bulbasaur is actually pretty difficult, the drawing of the team might take a bit

so here's the info I got about em so far

the team is named Team Flora, and the members so far are Marigold the Meowth and Clover the Bulbasaur

they're both nb (they/them) and love each other a whole lot, and they both love flowers a lot too

found my old copy of Red Rescue Team and started it again

gonna doodle the team later, you'll get to meet them then! just wanted to share this pic bc I thought it was cute

“Perhaps you will meet again.”

Obligatory end game scene drawing, this isn’t the end for Team Flora though! I’m going to be introducing a bunch of my pmd-verse stuff and also a certain group of Jolteon that just happened to stumble upon Team Flora.

“It’s time to fulfill my role and save the world from impending doom”

I’ve drawn the parting ways scene so many times but never a scene where everyone is here, thought I should try it, minus a few characters.

MAKING A MASTERPOST ABOUT TEAM FLORA REGION FACTS: • Region is based off of Latin America • Evil Team is Team Flora and wants nature to basically destroy all the "human things" like cities and stuff and have nature be dominant • Lead by a Korean/Japanese (can't choose) woman • Protags are 12-13 year old black kids (I need practice drawing my own race yo) • Team Flora primarily uses Grass and occasionally bug and the obligatory poison types • Champion is a woman of as of yet unknown race and specializes in Electric types (I wanted this when X and Y was first announced you don't understand) Sooo many other things in my head but these are the only concrete things. I came up with this idea when I reblogged this post and went off on it.
