Im Just Really Shit At Staying On Task - Tumblr Posts
Pokemon: Legends of Platinum
(I think goofy mashup titles are neat) (This can also just be called the Wrong Warp AU)
Sometime after the end of Platinum, Cynthia discovers another entrance to the Distortion World, finds Cyrus inside waiting for death, and decides to bring him out of it
Cyrus makes no attempt to get up or do anything other than be grumpy, so Cynthia has to alternate between dragging him around and having him in a bridal carry
By the time they get to where Cynthia entered the realm, the exit... has already closed back up
Fuck
After searching around, Cynthia ends up finding another exit, so she throws Cyrus in and leaps through
The two end up on a cold as shit mountain, but because they’re both from Sinnoh it’s just a normal mountain to them
Neither of them really recognize where they are, though Cyrus wasn’t making an effort anyways
Cynthia can’t shake the feeling it’s somewhat familiar, but other than that she’s got no clue
So, roadtrip time, with the goal of finding someone who can tell them where they are
Of course, it’s mostly Cynthia carrying Cyrus around because he still refuses to do anything other than ask Cynthia to just leave him for dead
It’s not even like a pathetic last request to stop prolonged suffering or anything, he’s just annoyed that he can’t sit in nothingness anymore
“Let me die, Cynthia.” “Shut up, Cyrus.”
At the very least, Cynthia was able to figure out how to maneuver him onto her back so he’s easier to transport
Eventually, the two stumble upon a small village with people in traditional Sinnoh clothing
Cynthia goes up to ask an older woman where this place is, and has an... enlightening conversation
“Oh, are you with the Galaxy Team, dearie?” “Uh... yes?” “Oh, that’s wonderful! They’ve done such good work in helping our little slice of Hisui. On behalf of the rest of Jubilife Village, please, take these!”
The lady ends up giving her some apples, and wandering off as Cynthia is locked in place processing the information
Jubilife Village? Hisui, like in that one historical text?
She does a 180 and looks at the mountain that, from this angle, is a dead ringer for Mt. Coronet
Double fuck
Bonus “Cyrus, I think we’ve gone back in time.” “I know. I figured it out hours ago. “... You WHAT?!”
