History Webcomic / TalesOfElysium

* FatBastard: Team Spartan's guildmaster, a Toxicroak named Crass is quite on the chubby side, and is nothing short of arrogant and dishonest. He is evasive when Team Spartan accuses him of colluding with criminals and attempts to bribe Mycaelis and Vagus with a higher commission if they would drop matter entirely.

* ISeeDeadPeople: [[spoiler:Kareena]] discovers they have this ability and it is later revealed to be a trait of [[spoiler:abnormals]].

* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Above all else, Theseus wants to return home...[[spoiler:to Elysium]].
* [[OneManArmy One-Mon Army]]:Each [[SuperSoldier laconian]] is this

* [[OneManArmy One-Mon Army]]the laconians

* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Above all else, Theseus wants to return home...[[spoiler:to Elysium]].

* MixedAncestry: The children of Laconians and ordinary Pokemon are called "Abnormals"; they're still stronger than most Pokemon, but nowhere near the level of Laconians.

* {{Teleportation}}: While some Pokémon like Levi the Gallade possess this ability as a psychic move, the [[PortalDoor magnagates]] (and the magic ability to use them with entercards) from [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonGatesToInfinity PMD: Gates to Infinity]] also exist in this universe.

* BattleCouple: Leon and Vagus provide one of the rare BadassGay examples of this trope.

* AbusiveParents: While Mycaelis and Vagus's Charizard mother Dvina doesn't appear to have been this, their father, a Feraligatr named Gaius, constantly pushed them both to be stronger using TrainingFromHell. This has also had a bad effect on Mycaelis's personality. To put only one example, their father once caught a child-killing Sneasel and offered to let him go free...if he could kill Vagus. And he showed no signs of intervening when it looked like Vagus actually ''would'' die. And then punished Mycaelis when he intervened.

* HarmfulToMinors: Before being abducted and brutally tortured as child, Leon witnessed the gruesome attack of a Swellow he had just healed.

* HarmfulToMinors: In addition to Leon having been brutally tortured in his youth in order to try and open his book, when he was very young he also got to witness the brutal murder of a Swellow that he had just helped.

* FatBastard: Mycaelis' and Vagus' guildmaster, a Toxicroak named Crass is quite on the chubby side, and is nothing short of arrogant and dishonest. When Slade lets slip to Mycaelis [[spoiler:that he had a deal with guildmaster,]] both the Charmeleon and Vagus start calling Crass out, pointing out that [[spoiler:Slade and his gang had always got out on technicalities, and was making every excuse imaginable to set them free.]] Digging himself deeper, Crass claims everything he's done was for the good of the guild, and that such is all a misunderstanding on the brothers part, giving them a higher commission if they just forget about it. Needless to say, the brothers tell Crass in no uncertain terms they quit.

* Suspicious Spending: Vagus calls Crass out for the [[ConspicuousConsumption luxury items]] that decorate his office and would be beyond the means of an honest guildmaster.

* FiveBadBand: Fabius's team appears to fit this trope:
** The BigBad: Not yet revealed except Fabius refers to him as 'The Lord of Change.'
** TheDragon: Lorenzo the Zoroark.
** The EvilGenius: Fabius the Dusknoir.
** TheBrute: Sulla the Drapion.
** The DarkChick: Lyra the Tangrowth.

** And for [[http://ssp-comics.com/comics/toe/?page=375 good]] [[http://ssp-comics.com/comics/toe/?page=376 reason]], as it turned out.

* AgonyBeam: One of the methods that Leon was tortured.

The characters and plot points originated in comics and literature that the authors created for PMDExplorers. By Mission 7, Haychel and Sly decided to abandon the storyline and create an alternate canon story incorporating their characters and their backstories.

* WritingAroundTrademarks: In PMDExplorers, the Pokémon village is named Tao. For ''Tales of Elysium'', the village is renamed 'Oat.'

* HealingHands: Leon has shown the ability to do this.

* GreenEyedMonster: Levi the Gallade

* FaceHeelTurn: Volume 3 shows that Levi [[spoiler:used to be an ally in Elysium]] until he was [[DrivenByEnvy driven by envy]]. Why he's working for Fabius now remains to be seen.

* GreatBigBookOfEverything: Leon's book straddles the line between this and TomeOfEldritchLore: it shows Leon what it thinks he needs to know, although it's not very good at telling Leon why he needs to know it. Solon the Slowpoke, in a flashback, says that the book can predict the future, and is constantly changing; no page will remain the same.

* RealityWritingBook: The Book is ever changing due to the changing nature of fate.

* FaceHeelTurn: Volume 3 shows that Levi [[spoiler:used to be an ally in Elysium]] until he was[[DrivenByEnvy driven by envy]]. Why he's working for Fabius now remains to be seen.

Leon is a Riolu without a past, save for memories of ColdBloodedTorture and a strange book that only he can open and with contents that change constantly. Vagus the Totodile is part of a rescue team that leaves their guild after being fed up with their corrupt boss. Together, they search for the mythical land of Elysium in hopes of finding answers to their past, present, and future.

* FaceHeelTurn: Volume 3 shows that Levi [[spoiler:used to be an ally in Elysium.]] Why he's working for Fabius now remains to be seen.
