Pokemon Explorers - Tumblr Posts
Lil bro doesn't deserve that 😔
Btw Ametrio pokefied
off to therapy with you, boy
Imo, this is the most telling/concerning line of the explorers
As we’ve seen, the environment of Explorers is incredibly toxic. 3/4 of the other admins have each insulted or taken shots at Amethio somehow. And it looks like this is nothing new, it’s horrible how Conia’s reaction to him being in a room alone with them is ‘oh god i hope he’s okay’. Amethio is a minor, he’s in a room full of people who seem to all be much older than him and ,in complete contrast to Liko’s situation, they all belittle him and insult him for every little mistake. It’s really upsetting how the only two people who have any sort of concern for him are his underlings- but Conia and Zir are absolutely powerless to really do anything about this. As much as they care about him, I don’t think Amethio would even be able to allow himself to be proper vulnerable around them. He’s already having to constantly prove himself, so how could he do something as unprofessional as spilling his worries to his underlings? It seems the only one he’s comfortable being open with is Ceruledge, but once again there is very little it can do to help him.
Then there’s Hamber. I’ve seen a few people give him the benefit of the doubt, especially because of episode 34 where it looks like he’s taken a shine to Amethio. But don’t let his fake concern fool you.
All i see here is basic professionalism, like he’s reading what he has to say off a script. He doesn’t actually mean what he’s saying: we’ve seen how high the Explorers expectations are, I mean just look at how much Amethio is overexerting himself in the second op, surprise surprise Hamber is sitting back and merely watching despite his earlier comment of not straining yourself. Not to mention, the moment things start going well for Amethio, Hamber immediately undermines his agency by going with Sango and Onyx to sort things out personally. Like no wonder Amethio seems to be triggered by not being taken seriously when this is how his (employers? guardians? idk) treat him!
He’s also got soooo many red flags! The biggest being when Sango half-heartedly refuses orders, to which he responds:
Literally physically intimidating her! And her reaction raises even more red flags, despite her happy demeanour the way she instantly complies is very telling that this isn’t the first time Hamber’s resorted to such threats… and this is the same environment a 16ish old is being raised in!
Maybe it’s just the amount of pressure he was putting on himself, but look how stressed and low-key terrified Amethio looks when fighting Hamber!!
And even if we want to make the case that maybe Amethio is this special exception for Hamber and that he’s got a soft spot for him… he is ultimately still complicit in grooming Amethio into this shady organisation. Episode 34 even reveals that Hamber was the one who trained Amethio, which also fuels the idea that he might have been some random child they find and realised how easily they could manipulate him into becoming the perfect loyal admin. Well i personally subscribe to the Amethio is an orphan theory rather than Gibeons son, especially considering that comment about Gibeon ‘awakening’, Idk if Gibeon is even properly alive.
Btw if you’re interested in further exploration in what I’ve discussed in this post allow me to shamelessly plug my fic that finished recently. It delves into the shadiness of Explorers and how really fucked up Amethio’s situation is! https://archiveofourown.org/works/52757629
It’s kinda weird how we’ve gone from ‘haha look at team Rocket blast off again aren’t they so wacky?’ to literal child grooming. I’m all for the serious themes tho.
Tldr: Hamber deserves to be pushed down a flight of stairs, Amethio needs so much therapy.
Idk what to put here
THEY JUST VIBIN OML
We say goodbye to everybody notable this arc, but I'll wait for subs for that. In the meantime, here's Sandwich and Onigiri eating a sandwich and onigiri 😂
(and Coral sharing her sandwich with her Glalie! 🥺)
Finally an explanation on my Horizons AU lmao
Okay so I was gonna draw something but I was busy soooo--
It's almost a crossover between Tears of the Kingdom (I love that game) and Pokemon. (and roblox doors bc Curious Light is one of my ocs lol??) All normal rules still apply but here we go-
Most of this takes place in Paldea and Unova. (Also Volo is still alive during this whole thing lmao) There are two added crew members to the Rising Volt Tacklers:
Lizzy (my main Oc) Who is from the Unova region alongside her partner Pokemon, Lucario (who also got yeeted to Hisui but more on that later) and a somewhat counterpart of Curious Light
Amethio (YEP HES WITH THE CREW IN MY AU) who was fired from the Explorers and now wants to make things right (and Lizzy's childhood pookie)
Lizzy met Lucius (because he was in Hisui (he has a Kleavor so it makes sense ig????)) while she was in Hisui and promised to protect Terapagos and Liko.
Okay now on to the Explorers
Coral (or Sango) is just the embodiment of a child (and is a psycopath but anyways) and is only in the Explorers because they can do whatever (I think she said that in an earlier ep). Also I hc her as a huge GLITCH productions fan (and also her English VA is Pomni's voice actor!) and would binge watch Murder Drones or TDAC while on break.
Spinel
*sighs in Master Sword*
He's DEFINIATELY up to something. What? We don't know- but he's insane. LIKE, ALMOST VOLO INSANE. He's also a manipulative little shit so yeah. Anyway I sometimes hc him as kinda flirty (i dont know what i was on) and also the kinda guy to watch the Iono zone for no absolute reason. He also has a bowtie for Umbreon. I also hc him to be a MD enjoyer as well (bc he relates to Cyn lmfao)
Hamber- alrighty not much to say about this guy lol. Butler man lol. Anyway i only hc him to have a sword for no absolute reason
Sidian- Gym guy. Need I say more? I also hc him to be a good cook bc S A L T. He's the only Admin that wouldn't try to kill Lizzy on the spot
Chalce (or Agate) She's def a the one to meditate while the HQ is blowing up or smth lmaooo. Also i gave her a Slither Wing as a Pokemon for her team because it fits ngl (and also to paralell Lizzy a bit because she has an Iron Valliant) Also i hc her to like Spicy Food
Onia and Zirc (I LOVE THEM). Onia loves cute pokemon and just has a bunch of photos in her room for sure.
Gibeon- Him and Lizzy hate each other's guts. Need I say more? I also hc him to have a Hydreigon and a Spiritomb.
(Ignore how I just gave up on punctuation lmao)
anyway if you have any questions you can just ask ^^
This may be ooc at some parts, but idrc. I'm just having fun over here
Bro, I just realized I put 'Bolt' instead of 'Volt'.
Fuck
