I feel like the majority of media and morality discourse these days is mostly just people not understanding that you are supposed to get your fundamental understanding of the world, sense of right and wrong, understanding of sexuality, etc. from your societal upbringing and education and then fiction's role is to augment that like a sort of optional accessory for your personal view of the world rather than to replace important encompassing social systems

So we all know that gem and pearl together is a force to be reckoned with. They have intimidated everyone on the server and rightfully so, they do not only have the bark but also a giant bite.
Now pearl. Pearl alone has so much potential.
She uses something that hinders her performance to her advantage, that thing is her ping.
She has the skill and strategy to solo half of the server if she went rabid again.
And that's the thing. She won't go rabid. She's kind and patient. Pearl has a potential that she couldn't show due to her loyalty and kindness.
Now you see, gem does not have a problem like that.
She's ruthless and blood thirsty whenever she feels like it. She is a leader, someone to look up to in a war. Gem brings the worst in pearl. She tells her things. She tells her to kill, to chase, to hunt. And pearl listens. She listens well.
Gem without pearl is like a warrior with nothing to fight with and for.
Pearl without gem is like a weapon without a wielder to protect and assist.
Gem knew. She knew that if she had gotten her hand on pearl she could rule the server alongside a witch with undying loyalty.
Pearl just wanted to be friends with gem because she was fun :3 she's silly like that
They've set plans, and strategies to defeat the enemy together. But before they know it, They've become each other's enemies.
Pearl asked gem
“gem. You don't want to do this, right…?”
And gem told her with a heavy heart. Knowing that there's no way that they could be together without betraying their day one alliances.
“No. I don't…”
gem ran away, feeling disappointed and betrayed as someone that promised to be her friend had attacked her without warning.
But before they could finish their conversation. A MASSIVE F[redacted]G C[redacted]T SHOT AT GEM. MAKING THEM FLEE. NICE JOB JOEL. (/Lh I love Joel beans)
And pearl, The weapon. Does what she does best and started to attack whoever her allies targets. Like a loyal wolf.
And being betrayed by pearl. That's something that happens once in a millenia.
She hid in her cherry peak as the mounders surrounded them. Gem sees pearl in the distance, stalking thought the forest to find a prey, and they locked eyes. Yet weirdly enough, none of them opened fire. Or even pulled out their bow.
They just shook their head at eachother as a symbol of peace and alliance. Friendship. Because that's what they were, they didn't want to kill eachother, they did not want to hurt one another. but their alliances. They forced them to do so. And they did, out of loyalty.
At that moment gem panics and jumped across the trees to tell both of them to stop shooting. But Scott just ignored her pleas and kept on going. Giving pearl no other option but to retaliate.
They stood their ground, looking at eachother with looks of pity before Scott pushed gem out of the way and shot at pearl. (GREAT JOB, SCOTT. 😡) She dodged before firing back at Scott.
Pearl told gem that she cannot stop what she is doing. But also that she does not have the heart to harm her either. She only wanted the Scotts.
Pearl went deeper into the inner walls of the scottages and was pummeled by arrows, yet she still presisted. impulse died without warning.
Shortly after she heard the yells of her allies and sprinted towards them. But she was too late for Scott and gem had killed them both.
Gem had thought. Maybe. Just maybe if she did not have her allies, she does not have her loyalty. And that she might join them.
Because gem knows that she could beat her. She knows that for a fact.
As she searched through the middle of the battlefield Scott ran up to her and started yelling at her to kill him. To take his heart and to not lose without a fight.
Without any other option she just did it. She stabbed him, gaining his hearts. And shortly after. Pearl came.
Not alone though, like she has hoped. She was with scar
Without any second though pearl shot at gem without mercy. Something that if un-character like of her. Pearl told her “dont make me do this, gem.”
I'm wich gem replied. Without sending her any arrows. “im not making you do anything! Why are you doing this.” as she ran away from them
Pearl chased after her. Though yelling “i don't know!”
Gem asked her “we’re friends! Why?!” and pearl repeated herself. “i don't know!!”
When they met again, pearl has not attacked gem. She tried to talk to her. To megotiate, anything that would mean not killing her. But before she could do that scar had jumped in and attacked gem again.
And what does a weapon do when given a target? They attack. So pearl ran in with her sword. And quite literally stabbed gem in the back.
Killing her.
Pearl got a wielder in the end. And it was not gem.
It was scar
started making these like a month ago bc i thought it’d be fun. went with no legends, no repeats on one team. teams + my explanations for them under the cut.
carmen’s team:
ampharos
blaziken
quaquaval
thievul
whimsicott
weavile
i’d imagine ampharos was her first pokemon, because… black sheep. blaziken fits the red, plus it and quaquaval remind me of how carmen fights. thievul, whimsicott, and weavile are all because.. thief. also, i tried choosing pokemon from a wide range of regions for her.
player’s team:
porygon2
litten
abra
elgyem
munna
rotom
porygon2 and rotom for hacker reasons. i’d imagine he doesn’t really battle that much, so all are nfe
ivy’s team:
revaroom
unfeasant
herdier
klinklang
magneton
tinkaton
revaroom because cars, unfeasant and herdier are common pokemon in unova, klinklang, magneton, and tinkaton all because of her being a mechanic 👍
zack’s team:
snorlax
orthworm
quagsire
bidoof
deino
tepig
all no thoughts, head empty. most are big eaters as well.
shadowsan’s team
crobat
ninjask
jolteon
drapion
glalie
kartana
all were either chosen for speed or for knowing evasion boosting moves- with the exception of kartana, which i chose because i think it would be fun to give all of the vile faculty one ultra beast. additionally, i thought it’d be fun to do the pokemon villain team thing of “giving them a crobat (or other pokemon that evolves via friendship) to show that they’re not all that evil”
chase’s team:
pyroar
gumshoos
furfrou
talonflame
absol
gogoat
all but gumshoos are available in kalos bc.. french. gumshoos is a detective, so i thought it’d fit him as well. also i think it’s silly to give him an absol and imagine it loses its shit every time he enters a car
julia’s team:
purrloin
runerigus
golett
mismagius
gourgeist
frillish
giving her a near-mono ghost type team wasnt what i thought i’d do, but i actually think it fits with her focus on history. purrloin because i absolutely believe she has a pet cat, runerigus and golett especially to fit in with her interest in history. i also don’t imagine her as being much of a battler.
chief’s team:
liepard
purugly
garchomp
corviknight
greninja
gliscor
went for more intimidating looking pokemon- with the exception of liepard and purugly, which i chose because of her cat. also garchomp always makes me think it’s wearing a suit, which is part of why i gave her one. also all have a sort of blue-purple color scheme going on, which i thought fit with her.
coach brunt’s team:
emboar
conkeldurr
throh
sawk
bewear
buzzwole
wanted to give her a mono fighting type team- all unovan except for bewear and buzzwole. bewear because “mama bear” and hugging :) and buzzwole as her ultra beast because of its massive attack stat
dr. bellum’s team:
reuniclus
beheeyem
tastugiri
alakazam
archeops
xurkitree
wanted to give her some absurdly, comically intelligent pokemon, as well as at least one fossil (and archeops is my fav fossil lol). xurkitree as her ultra beast because high special attack + wanted to throw at least one electric type in there.
countess cleo’s team:
gardevoir
hatterenne
gothitelle
florges (white)
lilligant
pheromosa
me: you better not be serving cunt when i get over there
cleo’s team:
professor maelstrom’s team:
malamar
spiritomb
hypno
sigilyph
starmie
nihelego
wanted to give him a kind of freaky looking, mind alternating weirdo team. nihilego as is ultra beast for that reason, plus bonus jellyfish points
roundabout’s team:
copperajah
boltund
inteleon
dragapult
hatterene
dracovish
wanted to give him a fairly standard galar team.. minus dracovish, which i have to imagine there’s a ton of arguments over the morality of owning in the pokemon world. additionally, inteleon because. spy.
crackle’s team:
electivire
luxray
jolteon
rotom
raichu
vikavolt
electric monotype team! wanted to also give him pokemon that are more.. animalistic? friendly looking? idk how to describe it
tigress’s team:
liepard
delcatty
incineroar
meowscarada
meowstic
pyroar
kitty cat :) i’d imagine her as having specifically female meowstic and pyroar as well.
le chèvre’s team:
gogoat
garchomp
tyranitar
noivern
lycanroc (midnight form)
salazzle
look i know this one isn’t the best fit but there’s only so many goat pokemon, and i wanted to go the rock climbing route instead, but then i realized that salazzle reminded me of his suit so here we are.
el topo’s team:
excadrill
clodsire
swampert
camerupt
dugtrio
sandslash
excadrill is obvious, and also wanted to give him a mono ground team. also all very friendly cute looking little guys on his team, which i think fits well.
mime bomb’s team:
mr mime
mr rime
zoroark
primarina
drifblim
ditto
mr mime and rime for obvious reasons, zoroark and ditto because of the disguise, primarina and drifblim because i was trying to think of things at a circus. also because i think he’d probably try to use his drifblim to kidnap kids or some shit.
dash haber’s team:
froslass
leavanny
gardevoir
alolan ninetales
vespiquen
milotic
similar to cleo, wanted to give him a slayful team. additionally, all are special attackers (or technically mixed attackers but would be using their special attack i just wanted to try to give him a sa based team lmao)
paper star’s team:
kartana
hatterene
mimikyu
banette
froslass
cacturne
i know i said i’d only give vile faculty ultra beasts but like.. how could i not give her a kartana. the rest are just cute but very fucked up little guys. also she reminds me of a cacturne.
lady dokuso’s team:
venusaur
crobat
arbok
gengar
roserade
toxapex
poison monotype team, obviously
the mechanic’s team:
klinklang
excadrill
coalossal
grapploct
aggron
revaroom
mostly steel types, but also coalossal because of powering things and grapploct because i just. really wanted to give her one. plus extra galar/british points
the driver’s team:
salamence
electrode
noivern
weavile
salazzle
cinccino
focused mainly on speed for her pokemon. also i just think that the idea of her with a cinccino is very cute
neal the eel’s team:
eelektross
ninjask
wugtrio
alolan muk
sandaconda
dragalge
for neal, i chose eelektross for obvious reasons, and the rest either for speed or evasion boosting moves. also i chose alolan muk over regular muk because i think he’d like the colors
otter man’s team:
gumshoos
lucario
froslass
weavile
frosmoth
houndoom
tbh i made his team a while ago and i don’t remember the thought process for anything beside from i thought he looked like a gumshoos and wanted him to have ice types
moose boy’s team:
hariyama
abomasnow
mamoswine
beartic
baxcalibur
galarian darmanitan
all ice types, all big, hard-hitting guys.
spinkick’s team:
hitmonlee
blaziken
scrafty
mienshao
hawlucua
tsareena
all can learn high jump kick lol. plus mostly fighting types. tsareena was chosen even thought it’s not a fighting type because its entire gimmick is kicking things
flytrap’s team:
volcarona
togekiss
decidueye
yanmega
galvantula
greninja
all special attackers! chose galvantula specifically bc it can learn sticky web as well.
the troll’s team:
porygon-z
rotom
metagross
kadabra
umbreon
dedenne
porygon-z and rotom for the same reason as player, but i’d imagine he’d be more willing to use the dubious disk. also, for kadabra, i liked the concept of him not being able to trade with anyone to evolve it lol.
madame goldlove’s team:
gholdengo
azumarill
steelix
aegislash
meowstic
kommo-o
all are shiny- i thought it’d be fun to make her a shiny hunter, specifically for these since all of them are gold shinies.
pls lmk what you think of them or if you have any more ideas or suggestions ^_^
xie lian: san lang, do you know where thousand lights temple is?
hua cheng: i’m sorry
single handedly the funniest interaction between them.
