I don't see much of an issue with Scolipede being nothing but The Ghost for a week or more. That would make him seem that much more menacing. His troops will still be active with other people playing them, but otherwise Scolipede Himself doesn't have to show up until he feels like he wants to stop being Orcus on His Throne and actually do something.

Ah, okay.

Then his minions can be controlled by someone else, at least? That's good enough.

My character will be gone as well, obviously. Unless someone takes over for him too? But that would be kinda weird.

I love Hardcore Portales.

Also, I really need to think up some sort of Bug-type villains for the AU arc. Maybe they could be a Butterfree and Beedrill duo? Oh! They could be assassins hired to kill Unite!

They could go to ridiculous lengths to try and get rid of him, such as hijacking a semi-truck and chasing him through Castelia City as they try to run him over.

But chances are I'll be free by the time I go away on vacation.

Err, assuming I even get freed...

[up]Why only Bugs? As we can see, Scolipede has non-Bug minions. And Artemis isn't a Bug, either.

Hmm. I guess they don't have to be bugs. In that case, maybe they could be something different, then. Seeing as they're going to be mercenaries.

Any suggestions?

[up][up]Well, one my possible ideas involved Artemis and/or Scolipede sending out some of their minions to re-capture you after you were freed.

With that in mind, I guess we could explain your characters' absense with him having to stay low for a while to avoid capture.

[up][up]At the very least, Scolipede already has his six minions, and Artemis has Mira.

[up]That's a good idea.

Will anybody besides Tagg be visiting PEFE HQ during the AU? Plan is to have the facility taken over by an AI, PEFeDOS, who is running everybody she can get her hands on through test chambers. With working portal guns, since Palkia isn't exactly free to smash them up this time.

(And Jane, clearly Sollux's 1% was taken off for only putting red and blue in his rainbow. tongue)

[REDACTED] sounds like such a nice place. I'd love to go to [REDACTED] and do some [REDACTED] and then [REDACTED] while having some [REDACTED] and then I'd [REDACTED] afterwards.

Oh, I thought this was the facility in Undisclosed Location.

...which is either in Seattle or Chicago, I can't tell...

I had some Portal-like plot prepared for the AU.

Imagine a huge spire in the centre of Slateport built on top of a massive cave system home to a clan of [REDACTED].

Oh, and pre-recorded messages will play at certain times within the tower.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Oh, you did Pentigan? Sorry to step on any toes... But I figured PEFE was probably... unconventional... enough to be Aperturesqe in an AU.

(Though I'd probably be light on Portal 2 references, simply since it's still sensitive spoiler-wise)

Something has come to mind about the Unova gym leaders being replaced by Zoroark in the AU arc... What happened to the gym leaders' Pokémon?

Some possible answers is that:

  • They were brainwashed into working for Scolipede and Artemis.
  • They were killed and replaced by Pokémon of the same species as them working for Scolipede and Artemis.
  • Some were killed and replaced, while others started working for Scolipede and Artemis out of fear. A few may also have replaced after the originals ran off to join the resistance.

This might also bring up a question about what would happen to Ribbons in the AU, since, depending on when Caitlin's Gothitelle laid her egg, said egg may not have come into DS' possession in the AU.

If that is the case, I do have some ideas:

  • Ribbons simply was never born in the AU.
  • Or, her egg may have ended up in possession of Scolipede and Artemis.

#3320: Jul 7th 2011 at 7:21:39 AM

Whoa.

Some of that is pretty dark.

I prefer to think that the Gym Leaders Pokémon just don't simple realise that there's a problem. They don't suspect that there's anything wrong, apart from the odd time when their trainers' suddenly announce that they want a cracker. Or the occasional growling and snarling.

Apart from that, they've been acting normally.

DarkerShining (4 Score & 7 Years Ago)
#3321: Jul 7th 2011 at 7:23:12 AM

Yeah, that could also work.

As for what to do about Ribbons, I can't really imagine her as truly evil. So if we do go with her egg having ended up in Scolipede and Artemis' possession, then I imagine she might be working as an intern at a company owned by the Greedy Golett or something.

I'm wondering if the Greedy Golett should have become the Greedy Golurk for this. It would make it more intimidating, at least.

Yeah, I wouldn't be too surprised if the Greedy Golett had evolved during the AU arc.

#3325: Jul 7th 2011 at 9:58:09 AM

Since I'm probably going to end up restoring Scolipede's memory at some point, I'm wondering if the Greedy Golurk should serve as a Bigger Bad of sorts since there's probably going to be some time between fixing Scolipede and restoring time. Or would it be a very one-sided battle what with Scolipede and Artemis ruling the earth?
