Little Pancake Of Jam

I feel like Chloe would be good at time bubble. Chloe just seems like the type to make that work in some kind of space study.

Like how time and space are connected really closely? Chloe would somehow push time bubble further than thought possible and end up doing some kind of space manipulation.

Different from what Morris has with object creation, or standard telekinesis. But maybe something that is close teleportation/worm holes. A power related to the space time continuum.

Maybe like a pocket dimension without a mind? Because minds right now are kinda like pocket dimensions for the mental state, but what if Chloe somehow made temporary physical spaces?

Little pocket dimensions that could were kinda outside the way real time works, allowing for more time to pass in the pocket dimension than the real world (which couldn’t be used indefinitely because once the psychic loses concentration or gets too weak they will just pop out of the pocket dimension).

In game I would see it like a quick hide-y hole to take a breather from enemies.

Also, using time bubble to breath in places where you wouldn’t be able to for a small amount of time. Like locking oxygen in a bubble to breath while going into water (or space) which would be even easier for Chloe to use because of the helmet Chloe wears helping in keeping that time bubble stable.

And if that pocket dimension thing is also something that Chloe is able to do, then Chloe could literally have a pretty good amount of air to use when necessary  having the helmet and pocket dimension just full of oxygen. Chloe would just have to be careful about wasting too much mental energy.

Tags: [#something something ‘fold in space-time via messing with the time element’#also- could this be used in tandem with Teleportation in some weird way? like- warp time to bring space closer#that might mean nothing scientifically#but#eh]

No this! I was literally thinking how this could be used to make worm holes, with folding space as teleportation.

It would be the same effect as how Ford teleports, but just a different process! Like how someone could use telekinesis to carry themself, but ALSO use levitation! Different powers but same end result!

So Chloe could have a stronger teleportation than Ford. Or at least that is how I would see it.

I feel like Ford needs something to connect to in order to teleport, like either a person’s mind/body or a place he has physically been before. That would limit his teleportation a lot (still powerful though). While Chloe with a time bubble/space warp could potentially go ANYWHERE, with or without an anchor point.

There would have to be some heavy calculations, or at least a “look before you leap” into the worm hole mindset. Which is why I think also having the pocket dimension full of air is a necessity. And the fact that Chloe always wears a space helmet helps a lot (because you know, cartoon logic allows people to be in space without a suit sometimes).

Like imagine Chloe (or anyone who masters this technique) just opening a portal/worm hole into space itself and throwing an enemy into it. Like that is some OP power right there, which is why I feel this technique would be extremely hard to master. Having to first master the time bubble itself, then push that to the one portal pocket dimension, and finally a two portal worm hole.

Also the fact that Chloe is very much into space and believes Chloe is an alien allows Chloe to show the respect to the power that a lot of other psychics might not have. Chloe knows how dangerous space is, but also how wonderful and powerful it is. So these powers NEED respect or else you get stuck out in space with no way of coming back if you don’t have the energy or oxygen to do so.

me explaining to the other trainers that apricorns are unknown outside of Johto because of deliberate suppression by the Silph and Devon corporations to present artificial pokeballs as the only means of capturing pokemon and establish regional monopolies after they eliminate renewable sources

there’s no pocket for me to BE in, there’s no LOBBYING involved, there’s no SUPPRESSION campaign because you don’t need one! traditional methods suppress themselves when you make modern pokéballs available. you might as well start accusing AT&T of deliberately suppressing the noble traditional art form of the goddamn semaphore.

not to mention OP demonstrates a total lack of understanding of the market realities of the pokéball industry- Silph and Devon are not monopolies, if they weren’t in constant competition their magic monster domination spheres wouldn’t cost two bucks a pop. the ball spec is a public standard, and Bill Masaki’s storage system based on that standard is an open-source project. they’re only the two largest players because they’re able to leverage economies of scale. you still get smaller operations like the Laverre City Poké Ball Factory, with better regional supply chains and local brand recognition, making room for themselves in the market. 

sm FUCKING h at y’all granola-crunching conspiracy theorists. you probably also believe Super Potions cause autism.

Ok, but it is a shame that artisanal balls are basically off the market now. Like, you have to ride the monorail and hike through a half dozen routes just to find someone willing to sell you a Fast Ball. Believe me, when your boss at the power plant needs five Electrodes by Tuesday you are not going to want to make the trip to Alola; you’re going to head on down to the Mart and get some Ultra Balls, which will do the trick but aren’t well tailored to the job.

I’m with you that modern catching techniques are better, not to mention more humane, but there genuinely is a loss from more niche balls becoming harder to find. Maybe someday the long slowpoketail of consumer demand will be met, but I wouldn’t hold my breath for that Shellder.

look y’all are missing the point. mass production of silph balls crowding out traditional apricorn craftsmanship is, if anything, more a side effect of the real problem: that capture artifacts are too easy to get your hands on these days. $2 basic balls are a problem. before modern ball tech you had to go to an artisan, yes, but part of their job was to care about who had the power to recruit pokémon from the wild, as a backstop against another Knight of Veilstone coming along. there was a time when you’d never lay a hand on a ball yourself until it was clear you respected pokémon, whether tame or in the wild. but now, a “pokémon journey” is open to practically every teenager, even if they’ve got not interest in treating their team with trust and love.

the worldwide rise in the last century of organized crime and apocalyptic cults who use pokémon as their muscle is a direct result of capture artifacts becoming a mass produced market commodity rather than a mechanism for preserving the sacred trust between humans and the wilderness. it’s a miracle that the powder keg hasn’t already gone off by now.

Oh that is rank historical revisionism - what, do you think artisans’ definitions of “respect” were constructed in a vacuum? We already had rhetoric as far back as the warring states period in Ransei about how only the soldierly classes, overwhelmingly descendants of nobility and taught from birth, had the intangible qualities necessary to “bond” with Pokémon. And when we start seeing apricorn balls develop in Johto, which borders Kanto - Kanto, where we know there’s been extensive cultural cross-contamination with Auroran and Dragnoran expeditions - surprise, suddenly only a small population has the intangible qualities necessary to use them, too.

That notion was, and remains, a tool to limit general access to Pokémon in the interest of maintaining class disparities. I mean, have we already forgotten the Aether Foundation’s pseudo-conservationist nonsense? Their attempt to manipulate natural resources and establish a power base in Alola, while they were modernizing and taking their place on the world stage, was founded on this exact rhetoric of “rescuing” Pokémon from local disenfranchised populations, as if taking Pokémon away from places like Po Town would improve things instead of increasing competition between trainers and decreasing safety.

Do you want more disillusioned kids joining gangs? Because that’s how you get Teams!

Artisanal balls and anyone who supports them are tools of the aristocracy to suppress the common folk. In the days when a ball could only be made by hand by an expert, only the wealthiest could afford pokemon, and as a result anyone not born into the “elites” was forced to be subservient to their “betters” for protection.

The release of the $2 pokeball meant that the balance of power shifted to the common citizens. If any child can wield the power of a god, the military and the government and the wealthiest businessmen have no power over them.

More than that, instead of power being determined by the wealth to acquire pokemon, power comes exclusively from the dedication, effort, and empathy required to train them to high levels and to maintain their loyalty. If a person simply buys their pokemon, then those pokemon will either stay at low levels forever, or refuse to obey the human because there is no respect between them; the most powerful people in the world are those who caught a critter at level 2-5 and then devoted their life to raising it into a world power.

And as a beautiful side benefit of this, standard of living has increased across the board. Since every household has at least one minor pokemon in the family and there are increasing numbers of professional, working pokemon joining cities and other civilized areas and working to improve them, every aspect of economy and industry has been enhanced by their supernatural capabilities. Electricity is generated cleanly and in abundance for everybody. Pollution is cleaned up almost completely and instantly. The production of farms, mines, and workshops is multiplied, even as safety standards improve. Yes, every few years another potential apocalypse comes about and needs to be prevented by a couple of brave teenagers, but outside of those incidents the world is damn close to utopia.

…that was all fascinating to read and I would like to see more like it, please

Opium

See, unlike in the real world, the Pokémon world has yet to ban cocaine in drinks.
