#it's late and coherency is for the strong x_x

(… One of the things I always wondered, if Lys was to carry out his plan from gameverse involving the Ultimate Weapon (apparently, Z2 is doing a “soft” version of it in the end, given his talk about cleansing the world of humans? But I thought about the gameverse plan: (instantaneous?) mass-killing with only the Chosen Ones allowed to live, and all Pokémon disappearing forever).

… would Lys would have wanted (and, once again, unknowingly to him) to spare Alan as thanks (because Alan contributed to his Perfect New World), while genuinely thinking that he’s doing him a favour?)

I honestly think he would, yeah. “Why are you unhappy at me? I SAVED you!”

#i’m *expecting* anime!lys to cackle at alan’s face but. so far there is this weird manipulation-with-fondness going on?#(pachira’s ‘i now know why you like this kid’ / 'why are you pushing him so hard’ and implying that alan was *special* for lys#could be (and is probably) about alan’s gullible nature! but i like to think about 'what if lys *genuinely* does like him. kinda.)#gameverse lys is all about hardworkers so…#to say that alan wouldn’t be pleased with the situation would be the Euphemism of the year#(because platane… LIZARDON… possibly manon too#(unless lys thought that alan’s services earned her Goldent Ticket ad also because he needed someone… non-threatening#to keep alan a tiny bit stable/not too self-destructive? even though manon wouldn’t be fine either (HARI-SAN…))#… wouldn’t have been allowed to survive for obvious reasons?)

Also yeah. I can see Lysandre also saving Manon and Sycamore as a way of thanking Alain for all his hard work? He does seem actually fond of Manon (whether this is an act or not is really hard to tell), as well as… well, being VERY interested in Sycamore’s research. So I can see him being ‘merciful’ and saving them as well. Which would be horrible for them, tbh. (Like, imagine Sycamore’s reaction to learning that all of his friends, coworkers, students, and Garchomp are dead!)

Have you read @cherry-jacks‘ amazing Shadowed Visage? It’s gameverse, so Alain isn’t involved in it, but it’s from the perspective of a Sycamore who was saved from the Ultimate Weapon against his will, and how badly it fucks him up. I can see Alain reacting like that, mixed in with a ton more guilt because he unintentionally helped make this happen.

(I diiiiid, but never finished ;; *short attention-span*)

Cough, I picture it as more... like, Lys expecting Alan to be angry about it for a while, but expecting(/hoping) that he will ~understand~ over time? That means waiting for Alan’s fury to pass and for him to reach second stage of grief after flat-out rejection (tears.). I’mmmmmm a sucker for Decency - like, they went full batshit evil with Lys in anime-verse and !! that’s a bit like a tradition (I love those faces), but... picture this, Lys pretty dignified about it and feeling like he Did The Right Thing and taking it very seriously (like in game-verse) (still murder.) and Alan getting angrier and angrier but also totally lost and absolutely disgusted with himself over everything? Over the fact that he (unknowingly) fought so much for this, and with Lizardon Lizardon who helped and was his precious one and was...? (I really can’t imagine Platane being spared in this one because... ? Lys and him didn’t know each other in anime-verse and if there is no Pokémon anymore... / while Manon is young, non-threatening, and she was ~Lys’s guest~, so it’s a bit a matter of honour to spare her because he had provided shelter. So it’s really more about Alan in this one.)

#death mention/#bad end route #(but yeah. lizardon would be. so. so. so hard on him. especially if it happened when liza was with him.)#(if it's anime!death like rukario in movie 08 with slow particule dissolution: everyone is fading and knowing they're dying?#and alan was probably with satoshi&co and is *seeing* them disappear and assumes it's The End for all #and then eureka sweet pure girl eureka notices he *isn't*; and lizardon is; and alan can try to hug liza it doesn't change anything?#and then everyone is just. not here. anymore. and alan is still not processing; where is lizardon?#)#long post/#ryttu3k #it's late and coherency is for the strong X_X #(add pachira snarking a lot about the fact that lys found himself a little shishiko awww how cute)#(it's either loyal trimmien either shishiko; sorry alan)
