For Every Action, A Reaction

Indie Pokémon SuMo dual-muse ask/rp blog for the unlucky Nihilego who tried possessing ya boy in Ultra Space, and a version of Guzma who got stuck with it. Also main for the sideblog deityreincarnate. I have...difficulty with fancy themes, so while there may be one someday, this is not that day. Please see Rules and About!

“So she’s an insane woman, why hasn’t anyone put her in an insane asylum? No offense to you, you seem decent but what kind of paracite can affect a person that much? Surely some of her personality must stem from her own way of viewing life. If so she is still partially to blame for any and all damage she did.”

“Oh yeah no, she still a shitty person, no doubt. But...Nihilego venom’s like a drug, it gets rid ‘a your inhibitions an’ gets you addicted so y’won’t try to escape while...the life gets slowly sucked outta you. It definitely didn’t help.”

It leans forward a little, expression serious. “She’s obsessed wit’ us, wit’ all Ultra Beasts, but us more’n the rest. She...got Guzma t’be practically her pet, and it wound up wit’ him an’ me...well.” It gestures to its humanoid form.

thebrokenbeasts ha risposto al tuo post “Look, I ain’t the type of guy who would be on her side.” “But Lusa…”

“Hey Guz? Fuck off.”

“Look, if Leon’s so stupid, might as well hope at least one of my problems disappears.”

[thebrokenbeasts]

“No, there ain’t no excuse for takin’ her side on anything. Ever. Got me?” Oh hey, it’s remembering how to be a hostile alien monstrosity.

[unmasked-fool]

“So she’s the reason you’re here huh? I suppose that means there’s more to her than even I know, however let her try and take a swipe at me. Since I’m not in Alola she’s the one barging into my region. I’m sure Lusamine is smart enough to realise the backlash I got for going into Alola would be reciprocated if she attempted to enter Galar.”

@thebrokenbeasts

[thebrokenbeasts]

“Oh, she wouldn’t take a swipe herself, she’d plot an’ get someone else t’do it for her.” It makes a face and sighs, shaking its head. “If you ever want the worst horror stories, just ask her kids ‘bout her, they got the worst ‘a her crazy.”

It hesitates and suddenly seems even more uncomfortable. “Though...a lotta what’s fucked up ‘bout her came from Nihilego...from us.”

     “ Gods, I missed you. ” The crooked grin blooms quick as she reaches for it, wiggling her fingers and eagerly digging her nails though gently into the skin of its shoulders and back.

     “ You don’t even know, man. There’s so much goin’ down and I dunno where for even put my eyes these days. ” Inhaling deeply as the last of the smile fades, she offers a shrug.

     She wants to fuse. It’s the first thing on her mind, tugging at her consciousness, reminding her always that she would feel better, stronger, more capable with a little more Nihilego toxin in her veins.

     Her body urges her to beg for it, but she stays quiet for now.

     “ You been good too? I know we see each other all the time. I just wanna check in, yeah? ”

     She can’t let it be more important. That’s the rule.

It scoffs, not at her but at whatever is exhausting her so much. “Grunts? Guzma?” 

Necrozma? Mania’s voice catches before it can speak the crystal god’s name, disgust rolling through it at the mere thought of him. No, none of this. It’s too nice an evening to think about the demon on the mountain. “...Your other friends?”

By the time it pulls back enough to look at her, something seems...slightly off. Even if only for a moment, it recognizes that look, that hesitation. That’s the look of a host.

No, not a host. That’s the parasite instinct talking. So much is different about how they combine, about the mutual willingness and trust involved that just isn’t there with a simple host. It’s different, even if there is venom. It is.

Mania blinks as Plumeria speaks again, taking a second to process her words before finding an answer.

“Uh, s’okay. Teacher’s doin’ good, still a hardass. But uh...y’look worn out. You need...y’know?”

[unmasked-fool]

“I think it’s a bit too late for that.”

@thebrokenbeasts

[thebrokenbeasts]

“Well he sure as hell ain’t gonna listen to anythin’ you say now, so either fight back or back off soon as ya can. Unless you some kinda masochist or whatever, I ain’t kinkshamin’ nobody.”

It sighs and shakes its head. “Give up, give it time if you really wanna play nice wit’ him.”

[thebrokenbeasts]

gnzma‌:

“–ah, shit. Yeah. Goli punching that bastard’s stupid face would’ve been pretty badass.”

…

“–BUT THIS DOESN’T CHANGE A THING”

“AND NOODLE ARMS?! YOU’RE AWARE YOURS ARE FAR MORE NOODLY– –oh for Arceus’ sake that didn’t sound cool at all. I’m so fucking tired.”

“WE GOT THE SAME ARMS, STUPID, ONLY MINE CAN POISON PEOPLE AN’ SHOOT MAGIC ROCKS! YOURS JUST PUNCH!”

What are they even fighting about anymore. What is this.

“THIS--ugh, this whole thing just sucks. Can’t believe he just peaced out like that, now I gotta find another way t’spend tonight...”

[thebrokenbeasts]

gnzma‌:

“AH! OF COURSE!!” he’s moving both hands to the sky, so damn tired of this already “Guzma does something and he’s wrong, he doesn’t and he’s wrong neverthless!”

“I WAS MAD ALL RIGHT?! And when I get mad I DON’T THINK! I JUST PUNCH!! GET OFF OF MY DICK–”

“I mean the whole thing was dumb as hell anyway, but after all that buildup ya coulda at least gone through wit’ the battle! Golisopod punchin’ somebody’s ALWAYS more cool than you doin’ it wit’ ya lil’ human noodle arms!”

This might be the dumbest argument they’ve ever had, but by Arceus it’s not about to back down on this whole cocktease of an event.

[plumeriaxskull-a-deactivated202]

thebrokenbeasts:

“They were gonna battle but then he just made it a fistfight instead.” Yeah, it’s pouting.

   “Sometimes?   You just have to punch it out.  I guess.”

[thebrokenbeasts]

“I wanted t’see a champ’s Pokemon fight though, an’ he ruined it, the bitch. Watchin’ humans fight humans is so boring, they don’t shoot fire or ice or lightnin’ at each other, and they don’t even have superpowered punches.” It’s just draped bonelessly over one of the stolen trial barriers set up in Po Town, sulking. All that exciting buildup for nothing has left it in a sour mood, but not pissed enough yet to actually do anything stupid about it.

[gnzma]

“ANTICLIM–”

“OI!! That lil shit started asking sorry like a toddler! It’s boring if they don’t fight back!”

[thebrokenbeasts]

“YEAH, ANTICLIMAX! YOU COULDA MADE YA POINT BATTLIN’ HIM, BUT NOOOO, PUNCHIN’ WAS A BETTER IDEA APPARENTLY!”

It is not afraid to get up in his face about this.

“He knew he was wrong talkin’ that shit earlier, an’ he said so! You coulda still battled after that! You! Made it! Lame!”

[gnzma]

thebrokenbeasts ha risposto al tuo post “It’s judging him from a few feet away.”

“Don’t be such a bitch, weren’t y'all gonna actually battle? I mean I could just embarrass ya in front ‘a everybody an’ stop this bullshit myself.”

“I was about to do it, and then the idiot over there decided first to call forfeit, and then to insult the Skulls. That means war.”

“…and dumbass already made quite a scene himself. It ain’t gonna last longer.”

[thebrokenbeasts]

“Tch, this is fuckin’ lame. Humans fightin’ humans sucks t’watch.” It pauses and looks towards Guzma’s PokeBalls, as though wondering if it could grab one and start a goddamn battle itself.

[thebrokenbeasts]

“I can tell…I didn’t want to resort to that, I just said it without thinking. I’m not even that type of person. Normally I can just speak to people with no issues but this was different.”

*A parasite? That’s what the being was, if so were there others like it in this universe? The two topics were being bounced around so he had to keep track of both of them.*

“So are there others like yourself out there? I just want to know.”

“Mh, there’s other Nihilego who ain’t got human bits, but there’s...” It trails off for a moment, staring at the dirt with something almost approaching fear.

Drip, drip, ink from a black smile. Mother knows, mother sees. Drip, drip...

“There’s none like me.”

Mania abruptly drops that subject in favor of the task at hand, looking up again with the same matter-of-fact look as before. “Well look, y’want my advice? Don’t fight him as a champ or whatever. Fight him as just a Trainer. Don’t take his shit lyin’ down or nothin’, but look at him and his gang from his level, instead ‘a from whatever high perch you’re used ta. Have fun, tha’s supposed t’be the point ‘a battlin’, ain’t it? Don’t be a dick about it, an’ he might just respond.”

[thebrokenbeasts]

thegalarchamp‌:

“I see…well at least you explained it to me. If it were only him I doubt we would get anywhere. This is the type of conversation I wanted with him as well but you can see for yourself the results it achieved. Could you explain a bit more by what you meant by ‘ate him’? I’m guessing it’s more of an absorbing if I’m correct.”

“Well tha’s cuz you’re doin’ it wrong.” It points the stick at him like a teacher’s pointer. “He ain’t gonna respond great ta trash-talkin’ him or his people, ‘specially comin’ from somebody higher up.” It does air quotes with its free hand along with the last two words, clearly not holding much respect for positions of authority. “An’ neither will I, for that matter, but tha’s whatever for now.”

Mania sighs and hesitates for a minute, thinking how much it actually wants to reveal about itself.  “I’m a parasite, tha’s what I meant by ate him.”

[gnzma]

"Y'know if you embarrass yaself, you embarrass me. Don't make me kick your ass."

“Pft, as if I could embarass myself more than that bloke already did!”

“Winning or losing barely matter by now. What’s important is that I’m gonna make him have a bad time.”

     Early evening beings the first hint of sunset to Ula'ula’s western beaches, and the waters of the Alolan sea are warm from a day of basking in sunlight and welcoming to tired limbs that have been working too hard for too long.

     Plumeria waits for it in their usual spot along the narrow and craggy shoreline that surrounds Po Town’s thickly wooded exterior, her clothing left behind on one of the rocks as she hastens eagerly to the water’s edge. It feels wonderful against the ongoing muscle and nerve pain she tolerates.

     Stooping to a crouch and then shifting her weight to her knees, she lets the water cover her to her shoulders and closes her eyes, basking in the sensation and counting the seconds until she, like the legendary maiden on the cliff, sees her lover again.

[thebrokenbeasts]

Faint at first, a noise makes its way up from the water, two notes repeating and slowly growing clearer as the source gets closer. 

Some jackass is singing the Jaws theme under the surface.

And of course, it’s her jackass. Mania’s head surfaces a few feet in front of Plumeria, with two familiar Pyukumuku perched in its hair as it steadies itself on hands and knees and glances up at them.

“A’ight, last stop at Ula’Ula shore: rocks, trees, an’ sea goddesses. Ev’rybody off.”

Mukeo and Mukiet obligingly bounce down from their perch with a splash, wiggling towards dry land and giving Plumeria a cheerful “Pyuk!” as they pass. Now it’s just the lady and her monster in the slowly dying light, Mania shifting to sit in the water before her, resting its chin in its hands.

“Long day?”

[thebrokenbeasts]

thegalarchamp‌:

“Thanks for letting me know...wait, what are you? Are you a Pokemon of some sort or are you something else?”

“Uh...I think scientists are still arguin’ ‘bout that, but kinda?” It casts about for a nearby stick, and proceeds to crouch down drawing a crude diagram in the dirt. “I’m like a alien Pokemon from another dimension who got kinda mushed together wit’ a lil’ bit ‘a Guzma. So I’m his alien twin who he hates cuz I almost ate him once.” 

[unmasked-fool]

“If I had known that earlier I wouldn’t have bothered with any of this...”

@thebrokenbeasts

[thebrokenbeasts]

“Rule ‘a thumb when talkin’ to Guzma: don’t think he hates just one group ‘a people. He a dick to everybody who ain’t Skull.” It gestures with one hand and several tentacles in an off-handed manner, once again forgetting that Leon has no context for what this strange being that looks like Guzma crossed with an alien Tentacruel is.

[thebrokenbeasts]

As Mania gets a better grasp on reading and writing, I can absolutely imagine it scaring the shit out of some poor Team Rocket member by spotting them somewhere and leaping up, pointing at their uniform, and yelling “R! THA’S AN R!” like an excited child.
