"Pave the way all the way from yesterday into another day." Indie, non-selective, crossover friendly, and story-driven PMD blog. Follows from @arcaynefgc
Welcome to Gaea, our earth several hundred years in the future. Pokemon roam the world as humans once did, living in cities and holding jobs.
The world is overseen by a rescue team, Team Singularity. They have existed throughout the entire history of the planet, and keep the world safe from any dangers that rise.
Follow along with Team Singularity, a merry band of misfits that are just as much a family than a team, and read their tales to see their ups and downs.
"A magnet...? I have mates already. I would think that others would be scared to try to court a God."
"Oh, I have way more than that. Trust me. This thing is broken. Go ask around town. You'll find more than three."
*whines and slumps over*
"I'd rather not have everyone. I have a mate and I'm perfectly happy with who I have. To the others simping over me... Please stop and please go away."
So as we remember, all of the cast are Singularities, or a single fixed point in time that prevents them from aging. I want to keep that true and the same.
What's changing is the "no longer dying" clause. At the time it made sense, but as time passed I have realized that that ability is very OP. So, the "dying is meaningless" power is being changed out for a "three strikes and you're out" rule.
What this means is that the cast (excluding Solaris since he is God in the story now) has three lives. If they die in the field, their soul moves to Heaven, and Solaris can revive them. If they die three times, then that's the end.
The healing is also changing, so that things like fingers, limbs and such can be lost.
@cerulean-volcano: Karie just rests his head on Solaris’ stomach. Lounging with his partner, happily content to lay there all day with him if their schedules allowed for it.
Solaris smiles, and they crane their neck down to rest their head on top of Karie's. The Charizard, surprisingly, had nothing to do for the day, not even the typical duties a God usually has. So they were just as content to lay in the sun with their partner for the day.
Black sky, the birds, they fly/I see it all, we flee it all/We flock together/They move past/Lighthouse, fly South, the clouds/Can see the ground, can hear the sound/But can't get back down/Could this be my last?
Crossroads, don't know which way/Is leading home, the water flows/Somehow the clearest way to go/Is not the path I chose, so will you
Break away from the roots/Before the storm comes for you/Raise me up from the noose/Carry me back on the wind to you/Now we blind ourselves from the truth/Heaven on high, it's in view/So break away from the roots/Carry me back on the wind to you
Bound to the tempest swirling 'round/Embracing now, final breath/Rise from the confines, life is found/Unbound at the crest/Black skies/Thunderous/Cross the rift/Lightning tears the sky/Lightning tears the sky
It always seems to come to this/The end of joyful ignorance/Drop everything that I have and go/Half asleep behind the wheel/Not sure what I'm supposed to feel/Still holding on to the life we know
Give me all your pain, your hate, your fear of where you lay/My never-ending rage is gonna take it all away/Give me your hand, I'll hold it while I can/Experiencing something I will never understand/(The heart stops beating, the heart stops)
The heart stops beating, a love so fleeting/We're leaving them on their own (Leaving them on their own)/Through the tears and grieving, the world keeps breathing/But everyone dies alone (Everyone dies alone)
Grappling with reality/Past memories on repeat/(Worried I'll forget, forget your voice)/Sleep retreats, dread the wake/We've been running from a bitter fucking fate/All the last words turn to noise
Give me your hand, I'll hold it while I can/But letting go is something I can't bear to stand
Drifting off to the void, find peace in nothingness/Not a sight, not a sound/Dust is all that's left/Drifting off to the void, find peace in nothing/'Cause everyone dies alone
Happy belated 6th birthday to this blog! I still absolutely love all of my characters, and I love all of you for loving them along with me! While the main story arc is wrapped, I do still want to make more chapters in the new Flora. Let me know what you want to see!
Thinking of changing some move names. I am very obviously inspired by Guilty Gear, and fighting games in general, so the inspiration of the move (i.e. Zane using Ride the Lightning, Ann using Buster Wolf, Louis using Hizansen, etc.) will still be there. They just won't be called that. I'll see what I can come up with.
Wakin' up, bottom of an empty cup/Layin' in your favorite clothes chosen just for you/Make you laugh, maybe I could make you laugh/Books of faded photographs, moments saved for you/Angel dust, tiny little papercuts/Close my eyes and feel your touch, holdin' onto you
Rest, you can rest now/Rest, you will be safe now/Rest, you can rest now/Rest, you will be saved now
Love and trust, life is just a game of luck/All this time escaping us, until our time is through
Wakin' up, had another dream of us/In the warm Virginia sun, there I will meet you
Ann returned home after a long day out. She had been settling a dispute in the Sand Country in Infinity, and had been gone for several days. While she was gone, a special day had passed by, and she didn't even realize it.
So when she walked in, she found a box sitting on the table, its lid open and showing a necklace with Cerulean colored gems embossed in it, with a note attached to it. To its right sat a small cake - made from Belue and Sitrus berries.
Ann picked up the box, taking the necklace out and putting it on. She looked down, admiring the way the gems took in the light. She then looked back at the table, and picked up the note, unfolding it and beginning to read it:
Hey, Ann,
It's your special day. The day that changed my and Karie's lives forever. The day you were born, and came into the world. I know it's been a while, since I last saw you. I was hoping to catch you, but you were already in Infinity solving the dispute between the Sandslash tribes, and I missed you. I'm still kicking myself over it, trying to figure out if I could have gotten a little boost from a tailwind...
But, enough of this ancient 'Zard's rambling. I just wanted to tell you how proud I am of you. You've come so far, you do the things you put your mind to, you're incredibly smart, you're tough as nails. You're amazing, and that makes my heart feel like it could burst. You make my days feel like they're worth fighting for.
Happy birthday, Ember. Come find me when you can, so you and I can celebrate. And maybe your old man Karie, too, if I can convince him.
- Solaris
Ann set the note down, wiping her eyes. She hadn't heard her old nickname that Solaris gave her since she was still a Charmander, and it gave her a warm feeling in her chest. She set the note down, and a smile crept onto her face.
"Hey there, you..."
Ann jumped, and turned to see Louis standing behind her. "Good grief, Louis... Don't sneak up on a girl like that..."
The Marowak smiled. "Had to. It's my duty as your older brother." He looked at the open box, and the note. "I see you got your papa's message."
Ann smiled. "Yeah. I had... Actually forgotten my birthday was the other day. It just slipped my mind."
"Considering how long we've been kicking around... Yeah, that makes sense." Louis said. His eyes went down, focusing on the necklace. "That necklace looks good on you, by the way. Brings out the color in your eyes."
The Charizard blushed. "Th-Thanks... It's... Shocking to hear a genuine compliment from you... Usually it's a tease..."
Louis chuckled, a playful glint in his eyes. "Yeah, you're right... Gotta balance out my snark by being genuine with you sometimes."
The two shared a genuine laugh with each other, then Louis looked up at Ann.
"Solaris wanted me to tell you that your next mission is to go have a day with them, whenever you are ready. The rest of us can take on missions and stuff until then."
Ann looked down, "Are... We sure that's a good idea? I'm kind of the muscle on the team..."
Louis smiled, a wide toothy grin. "Nah, we got it handled. We can call on Morello if we need it. Or..." Louis then flexed his arm. "I can handle it."
"Oh, please... You can barely handle the common cold. I don't think you can handle muscle like that."
Louis chuckled, and gave a playful punch to Ann's arm. She returned with one as well, and the two laughed.
"Well, I'm going to head out. Have some errands to run." Louis said. He passed by Ann, and gave her claw a light squeeze. "Happy belated birthday, Ann."
The Charizard smiled back. "Thanks." She replied.

Morello walks up to you. He is walking around you on all fours, giving curious sniffs to your hands and legs. After sometime, he sits in front of you, and points at you.
"The legends are true! The gayest being on all of the planet! And I'm meeting them?!"
