Captain Cyllene - Tumblr Posts

I found a mass outbreak of oshawotts during the new update and ended up with a horde of them that I refuse to release. So I did some drawings with them.

I... lowkey love Cyllene and find her hilarious lmao

OHH I GOT A GOOD ANGST ONE INSPIRED BY ALL THE KAMADO SLANDER!

What if during their missions the hero befriends this pack of hitsuian zoarks and zoras?

They have helped this pack many times during their missions and the pack has grown to care for their dear human friend.

But when you get banished hell has frozen over and what if you were seriously hurted during the banishment?

On top of the mountain everyone even thoughs who helped you will see an illusion of you dying body as the leader of the pack inches towards kamado scarring him for his actions!

Enjoy my fuckery!

Reader is gender neutral, the only she is the alpha Zoroark. Mentions of blood but nothing descriptive.

You don’t know what you did to deserve being banished, you only did what you were told.

No matter who stood up for you, they were instantly silenced to threatened with war, and that wasn’t something you wanted for any of those you still care for.

You didn’t know what else to do.

You weren’t given the chance to pack your things, or anything at all really, just whatever you had on you at the time.

The clans nor their leaders could help you.

So you wondered around, trying to find something, anything that could help you prove you innocence.

That drive lead you to the Alabaster Icelands.

Snowpoint temple seemed old enough to carry some secrets, maybe you could find something there?

While you set up your own little campsite in a cave you hear something, a curious sounding whine before it morphs into a happy yip.

Looking behind you, you see a little zoura you helped a while ago, if the cut out of their ear was anything to go by.

“Hey little buddy.”

You coo softly, but the small Pokémon senses something wrong, letting out a small whine, more zouras show up.

Ah, it’s the entire pack you’ve helped over the months.

You remember healing them when you found them and handing them back to a very angry and cautious alpha.

Speaking of, a louder, deeper grumble greets you.

The other zouras and Zoroarks of the pack form a soft circle around you, just as the alpha Zoroark makes her appearance.

“Hello to you too mama.”

The family looks at you, all letting out various sad or comforting sounds. The larger Zoroark curls around you, in an effort to keep you warm.

“Thank you.”

It’s funny being held like this. Your thoughts begin to tumble and before you know you, you’re sobbing into the fluffy mane of the Zoroark around you.

You cried your heart out to the whining pack, venting about all that has happened.

Your banishment.

You betrayal.

Your heartache.

They left it all.

The alpha Zoroark rubbed her cheek against your, wrapping herself up in your scarf before moving away. She stood up, speaking to her children before most of the zoroarks left, not without giving you a nuzzle.

One Zoroark was left to keep watch over you and the zouras.

You cried a little more, hugging and cuddling with your new family before falling asleep, surrounded by their fluffy warmth.

You sleep safe and protected, completely unaware of what is yet to come.

The pack of zoroarks quickly move in towards the village.

The have arrived by the next night.

The alpha looks down at the scarf you have yet to notice she took.

They hurt her pup.

They left her pup abandoned in the wilderness to suffer the same fate as her.

They will not be forgiven.

The meeting between the commander and clan leaders was dragging on.

It was late but no progress was being made.

Kamado sighs at Irida and Adaman’s stubbornness, the two were still upset about his ruling over you.

“It’s been almost a week! No one as heard from them, let alone see them!” Adaman’s patience is wearing thin.

“What if something happened to them? These lands aren’t exactly kind.”

Irida was worried, she heard from Lian that the day of you banishment you asked for her, but due to Kamado’s orders he couldn’t help and you left.

You are her dear friend, she hopes you’re safe.

Adaman’s anger is only to mask his fear, Irida is right, these lands aren’t kind, and with you by yourself, with no guards or professor on the look out for you, who knows what could happen.

The door to the side suddenly flings open.

A powerful burst of malicious pressure forcing it open.

Red claws grip the door frame, the Zoroark lowers herself to enter the office.

Before any made a move the gasp.

That’s your scarf, that’s your galaxy uniform scarf that you never took off.

Slowly the Zoroark morphs into you, a blood stained you.

“…..hero?” Irida’s voice breaks, her hands over he mouth with tears stinging her eyes.

Adaman and Kamado stand shocked and horrified at the realization.

It’s you.

“Why did you do this to me?” It’s your voice, it sounds so uncanny.

Your eyes however stay that stark yellow, glaring down the commander.

“I-I didn’t!- I-“

“I will give you a fate like mine.”

The threes face’s paled, neither clan leader’s teams were strong enough to take on such a strong, angry foe.

A part of them didn’t want to. It was you after all, you had every right to be angry.

They stare at the Zoroark’s illusion. It had to be you, the creature had your scarf after all.

You didn’t seem to have any open injuries, but the blood showed just where you were hit.

Adaman felt like puking at the thought of your pain.

With all the commotion, Cyllene and Laventon burst in.

Laventon’s loud cry startled the Zoroark, bringing her attention toward the other door.

Was that your pack mate you spoke fondly of?

“Everyone get back! Abra!”

Ah these the strict one you spoke of as well.

She lunges, breaking her illusion and going for Kamado’s throat.

But Abra teleports him out of the room just in time.

With a loud snark and howl, the village echoes in several howls.

“If you hadn’t banished them this wouldn’t be happening!”

“How was I suppose to know they’d be killed and turned into THAT!?”

“Are you so closed off you don’t see the world you live in anymore!?”

Kamado argues with Irida and Adman, he didn’t think this would happen.

“Enough! We need to take ever safety precaution we have. Zoroarks are dangerous, we won’t know who’s one until they slip up.”

Cyllene quickly takes over the situation.

“Lock down the village and get everyone inside this building state!”

“Yes ma’am!” Galaxy guards run out to round everyone up, alarms are being signaled and the lock down commences.

Hours into the lock down, well into the next morning, everything seems fine.

Kamado spent most of it dealing with the villagers, ignoring the harsh glares being sent his way by the other leaders, Cyllene, and Laventon.

His mind only replaying what happened yesterday.

You couldn’t be dead…could you? Though why else would a pack of zoroarks come to his village? They always stay in the Icelands.

The realization that he had a hand in your demise, seeing a ghostly you, so angry at him.

It made his heart sink.

The commander does his best to make sure that side door stays locked up tight. He always checks to make sure it stays that way, in fear it’ll open and you’ll be standing there, ready to finish the job.

With food secured and their mother’s actions done, the pack heads back to their den.

The alpha lets out a soft coo at the sight of you playing with the other pups.

“Oh! Welcome back.”

You holy in surprise when each Zoroark drops human food by you.

“Is that what y’all left for?”

You look at them confused as she nudges you towards it.

“Well, thank you!” You gave some of them some pets before eating some of the food.

Looking over to the mother of the pack you chuckle.

“I was wondering where my scarf went, though you can keep it, it matches you!”

Your chuckle turns into a laugh as she licks your face, fully trying to give you a bath.

Maybe staying here won’t be so bad.

Trainer calling Laventon and Cyllene (separate) mom/dad 👀👀 platonic of course

Went with the “first time calling them mom/dad and it was accidental but then the person being called mom/dad starts to see reader more like family” type trope simply because I love that trope.

Laventon

-> The first time you called him dad was while you two were updating the pokedex. You had just got done clearing an outbreak and as you two were about to head to Jubilife, Laventon mentioned you coming to get some potato mochi with the MC and Rei/Akira (the other protagonist that you didn’t pick at the beginning)

-> You had meant to simply accept with a “sounds fun” but before either of you knew it, a “sounds fun, thanks dad” slipped out and Laventon nearly dropped the pokedex he was holding in surprise. You weren’t sure how he took you calling him dad since he had tears in his eyes but the big grin on his face relieved you a bit

-> Even weeks later, it was obvious Laventon was still excited about you calling him dad. He would often refer to you as part of his family and he’d subtly brag about any accomplishments you’ve done in the field too (ex. “My kid managed to complete 5 whole pokedex pages without breaking a sweat” or “My kid is so cool, they caught a different colored pokemon recently”) 

-> The walks to whichever part of the region the Galaxy Expedition team went to next were also filled with dad jokes (they may be bad dad jokes but I headcanon that Laventon would full embrace the role as dad) but you wouldn’t trade any of those moments for the world

Cyllene

-> Similar to Laventon, the first time you call her mom involved the pokedex. You had gotten enough research points to get another star and your next task was to get said star from Cyllene

-> When you had gotten permission from Cyllene to enter, the words “Good morning/afternoon/evening Mom” slipped out before either of you could speak. You had quickly tried to apologize and cover it up with a “Ma’am” instead but Cyllene simply dismissed it as a slip-up after realizing it was nothing more than an accident, and gave you your next star. As you turned to leave, you could’ve sworn you saw a rare smile on the captain’s face.

-> That one day had appeared to be the end of story considering neither of you brought it up again but it wasn’t. Some things you started to notice as time went on was Cyllene being slightly less blunt with you or her Abra teleporting to you with some potions and extra pokeballs before leaving. 

-> It wasn’t until she accidentally called you her family during a meeting within the Galaxy Team that it started to happen more often. She would often drop by to check on you even though she claims she is just checking on your progress with the pokedex or even let you be the only one to relax with her in her office if you would like to. (If you ever fell asleep in her office, she would even have meetings outside so you would not be woken up)

Scars

(Based on a headcanon that scars from wild pokemon are common in Hisui)

Akari has Amnesia like Ingo. Unlike him, however, she does not get flashes of the life before Hisui. Instead, she gets vague feelings. For the most part, they're vague, almost kinda deja vu-like, or simply nostalgic. But other times... They are powerful. Especially with some of the people, she comes to meet.

When she first met Laventon, she can't help but wonder why he was making a Pokedex. Wasn't there already one created? It confused her at first but she let it go for now. After all, she can't quite remember where she knew that.

When she first met Rei, Akari had to hold herself back from crying for some odd reason. She gets an overwhelming feeling of longing and bitter sadness as if her very heart was being constricted with a hollow gap in it. It was a struggle trying to interact with him at first- she couldn't find herself to talk for a few minutes. But over time, they made a budding friendship and such emotions were forgotten- no, they were filled and healed but... There was underlying sadness to it still. She wonders why. Either way, she came to see him as a brother, and oh, what irony that is.

When she first met Cyllene... Akari freezes and she swore the world froze. Akari felt herself tremble, the feeling of fear rearing itself out of her soul and engulfing her being- Akari felt like fleeing then and there. But Professor Laventon was nearby and there were villagers too- if anything happens, at least there were witnesses- wait... Why does she see Captain Cyllene as a threat? She only just met her!

Sometimes, Akari thinks Cyllene may have seen how she was terrified of her. Maybe that's why the captain let her join. Who knows in the end. Akari learns that the woman was understanding and nice, if not stern, and does not project emotions easily. It's through her words one must look to. Akari likes Captain Cyllene and sometimes, the older woman would teach her a few things from to time. It was nice... Nostalgic, especially when she did her hair the first few times when she arrived.

Kamado... Akari got mixed emotions when she first met him. He seems very familiar to the point she wonders if they met before. However, any first impressions she got from him went down the drain after he flipped her into the wall... She immediately did not like him and it only kept going south after he piled work after work for her without little to no breaks in between. And his words-... Akari learned to fear Kamado out of everyone in Hisui, even the frenzied nobles don't compare...

And Volo... Akari, when she first meet him, thought he was a man she can trust. His smile and eyes and even hair seemed so familiar, almost giving her a headache trying to recall who he reminded her of only to find nothing. It was only after the battle and after reviewing his words and overall look did Akari decide to avoid him. She doesn't know why but the look in his eyes... He was hiding something. Add onto his plastered and certainly fake smile... She doesn't trust him and it only worsens when he pops up out of nowhere from time to time despite her trying her best to avoid him. Volo reminded her of someone, a man who sought power and change. It terrified her.

Whenever Akari sees Pokemon, a lot of facts and info, and knowledge seemingly pops up by itself. She hesitates to write them down at first, unsure where she knew them from, but she learned these facts were correct after observing the pokemon. To be on the cautionary side, however, she writes those on the side before testing them to be true thoroughly.

Akari can't get herself to look at the Chimchar line. One of the only few memories she can recall. She had an Infernape and he was her very first pokemon. Her starter.

It didn't feel right to have one on her main roster. It felt like she was replacing her dear Ares... She missed him so, so much.

Akari misses so many things and she can't even remember- it hurts. It became more painful as time went on and the less rest she got. Nearly became unbearable, all these emotions, to deal with when her hair began turning white.

It only settled down when Papa Ingo came into her life and adopted her. She wasn't alone anymore and now- now she's safe...

Former/reformed Team Galactic Admin you say? Hmm... Based on the fact on one of your old posts of how he's questioned if Team Galactic should keep trying to search for Cyrus, I feel as though he would be helping Ingo and Akari after also hearing about what Team Galactic used to be. The times of The Galaxy Expedition Corps. Being seen as Cyrus' second in command and the strongest Admin too- I like to think he's been dealing with the remains of Team Galactic for Ingo and Akari while also low-key helping them by sending false leads to their location to authorities- though, imagine the public outcry once he's found out. Team Galactic's strongest admin, helping these Pokemon Thieves- people are really cemented and thinking Akari might be Cyrus' heir and new the leader taking after him. (Funny idea though highly unlikely: Cyrus is actually that one admin helping the Duo. He, after a long time (for him) being stuck in the Distortion World, somehow sees the past once he bonded with Giratina, learning the error of his ways upon seeing himself and his past actions as well as Volo's- well... He cannot make up for the shit he caused. He can, however, try to earn some form of redemption and helping Akari deal with the authorities before things can clear up. His weird way of apologizing and saying thank you before he goes back to his exile in the distortion world once more) -Nezu >:3

At this time I will say Cyrus will not be making an appearance in this fic. Saturn however..,

This is a great idea for Saturn! He can have a little ‘learning the error of his ways’ and redemption, as a treat. After a bit of an identity crisis  of course. And it will drum up controversy later for Ingo and Akari once his and team galactics involvement is discovered!

And it’s good for team galactic to have someone competent wrangling them on their new path to turning over a new leaf. They’re still a bit confused but they got the spirit.

Ooo, everyone calling Akari Cyrus heir… which is great because I will be writing out the Hisui goodbyes and Professor Laventon and Captain Cyllene will both have a touching farewell where they assure her she will always be a respected member of Galaxy Team.

I love this and will definitely be keeping this in mind! 

A scolding across time and space.

Am replaying PLA with a new character. Captain Cyllene doesn’t approve of the shiny bugs
