am i really going to make another orre oc. am i REALLY G-

Howdy. I am the friend of the lady who asked about Team Miror B. headcanons. I wanted to say that I think you're very detailed and articulate, I loved them. I wanted to ask kind of the same thing, how you view their relationship with Michael, since there really wasn't much interaction with Wes. You can ignore if you'd like, but I just wanted to say hello and it's good to know that Orre hasn't died out.

Ah all in a day’s work ^^

Usually I take 7 hours more-or-less to formulate a good response for a good topic, so this may take a moment and a lot of text. I may take a day of pondering and reviewing everything I know and reanalyzing if I must.

Let us begin.

In the beginning at their first encounter with each other, Team Miror B. thought little of Michael as nothing more than a wandering child who happened to be a trainer. Miror B. offered Michael to join his posse, but of course the illusion of choice is used here in that no matter what you choose you’ll still end up being enemies because Miror B. can apparently sense Michael’s insincerity upon saying “Yes”.

Hence forth, Miror B. and his team have tried to continue their endeavors but are always met with Michael interfering because of Trudly and Folly’s mistake of dropping the Miror B. Radar on that first encounter in the Cave Pokespot, prompting Miror B. to wonder how Michael keeps following him.

At one point in-game, Miror B. guessed that the kid was actually a big fan trying to get his autograph. Beyond that, I can’t remember if he offered a Yes/No prompt or outright said that he wouldn’t give it unless Michael beat him in battle. Regardless, Michael never did get that autograph unfortunately. I don’t have a screenshot of this event either I’m afraid... but that is why you shouldn’t be afraid to fail a Shadow Pokemon snag in the story against non-rematchable trainers. Save some for Miror B. in your next playthrough if you want to see him more than four times.

It is clear that Miror B. and his posse’s relationship with Michael was that whatever they did, he was the pest who’d ruin their fun by taking away any Shadow Pokemon they’d manage to keep for a given amount of time. If they were lucky, Michael would fail to snag a Shadow Pokemon or win in whatever Colosseum challenge Miror B. was taking, granting them more time with their small victory of obtaining the Shadow Pokemon. The possibility of things going their way is not impossible, but in the end it was inevitable for Team Miror B. to see Michael as the one kid ruining their fun. They must have had some ill-will toward him down to the end of their rivalry at Gateon Port.

But Trudly and Folly are not the ones that bore the majority of the ill-will toward Michael the most. Miror B. was very annoyed with the kid and remembers him throughout their future encounters, but when the last Shadow Pokemon he knew was snagged from him, they retreated to the Krabby Club with a new mission that Trudly and Folly could still follow, which was nothing.

I suspect Shadow Dragonite’s snag was more of a wake-up-call for Miror B., who was living in his maniacal delusions over his dream. Owning all the Pokemon in the world is an impossible dream. His confidence even in failure remained true however. As he realized the last Shadow Pokemon was snagged from him, he found he had been working towards nothing this entire time. Yet he does his little victory dance and pose before announcing the immediate plan to escape.

When he did however, he took the elevator down, leaving Trudly, Folly, and four Ludicolo’s behind to their shock. They had to take the stairs down to continue following their leader. But even in failure they continued to support Miror B. as a new performer at the Krabby Club

Now I cannot say what really happened to Miror B. and his posse, since in-game their story ends at the Krabby Club.

But I like to think that Michael’s involvement snapped Miror B. out of a life-long mania in the same way he snapped Greevil out too.

If what it took to bring down these bosses was a child who’s pure heart destroyed everything they’ve achieved, even repeatedly, to see the error in their maniacal dreams of ruling the world one way or another, then I see them and their followers, including Eldes for Greevil, potentially grateful toward Michael and his efforts of stopping a runaway train from running any further.

Thinking back to Trudly and Folly’s in-game details on how they occasionally rely on eating Poke Snacks off of Pokespots and how Folly has been concerned over their nomadic life-style of following Miror B. all over the Orre Region for his unobtainable dream, I think they would be glad to have the Krabby Club harbor them, provide them with jobs and feed them actually decent food. Miror B. would also be thankful for the new domain to live in and possibly a new dream to get into. A dream to become a star instead.

Miror B. on stage in-game is too busy singing to acknowledge Michael verbally anymore, even if he turns to him upon examination. But at least he seems passionate about dancing on stage to music. But in time, if his popularity with the club has grown so much that he’s become a star, maybe he’d notice him again one day as someone to remember as a rival, an old friend, or maybe not remember him at all if his new overconfidence and ego buries his past memories. Memories of when he was nothing more than a tall, walking, poke-ball patterned tumbleweed in the desert chasing the glory that left him long ago.

But all in all it’s just speculation on my part. Team Miror B. is last seen in a state of denial in response to Shadow Dragonite’s Snag and the bosses’s defeat, but that could just be a short-term problem before realizing the Krabby Club is the place where everybody will know their name.

But as we know, Miror B. seems content now. So who knows? Maybe some day, Michael will get that autograph Miror B. owed him.

That is my answer to how I view Team Miror B’s relationship with Michael. Begrudging at first, but surrendering in the end of a journey that’s sprawled out of control when they clung to Miror B’s deluded dream for too long. And now they are at a neutral stance with each other; with Trudly and Folly potentially having better lives now at the Krabby Club with their boss. Maybe they won’t see Michael as the pest he was anymore but as another customer for the diner to entertain with music and dance. Likewise, Michael would see them as friends just as he does the rest of the former Cipher Admins and Gonzap.

Thanks for the hello! I will always strive to keep Orre’s memory alive. ^^

Summer's/Minami's History Part 1(Orre Edition)

This Bio contains Summer’s life during Orre and around the Cipher Incident( events of Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness), before her family moved and she became a Pokemon Ranger. Her name is switched to her nickname and back, but they are the same person.

Minami is born to Carlos, a Kalosian former reporter from Lumiose City, and Mia, an Orrerian into the Sunrose Family in Orren. Carlos moved from his hometown to Agate Village, after the death of his parents, where he met Mia, who was a former admin of Team Snagem; joined them for money; supporting the Pokemon Snagging plan for the sake of her family and once the second-in-command. After 6 months of dating and bickering eachother, they developed feelings eachother. It was then 3 months after, Mia realized she was pregnant with his child and decided for it's and their sake to leave Team Snagem and start a new life with her lover. 6 months later, their daughter Minami "Summer" was born. They lived at Agate Village with her parents. Soon 3 years later, they unexpectedly sired another child, Tim; despite their flaws the siblings get along with. Minami grew into a polite and friendly girl, who started to help everyone around the village, showing signs of selflessness and responsibility in such young age. When her parents were busy, she takes care of her little brother or helping with the chores. Her parents found a job as a ONBS member near Pyrite Town (Mia) and one as a researcher in the Pokémon HQ Lab, so they hired Rui, a young woman, as their children’s babysitter, since they were busy till afternoon and soon they became bery close eachother. Rui is telling them her stories about Wes and the Shadow Pokemon incident to them and sometimes, the children would tessing her about Wes being her boyfriend; which she bashfully denied it and gets always red. 

When Minami turned 11, her parents took her to an old friend, Pr. Krane, the region’s professor, so she can began a Pokemon Journey as a Pokempn Trainer, though there was no real Pokemon League in Orre, so she became one of his assistans too. The girl recieved her mother’s Starmie and Pidgeot as her starter Pokemon and P★DA (Orrerian Pokedex) for her journey and further researchs, before working in the Pokémon HQ Lab. There she met a 10 year old boy, who lived there with his family. His name is Michael and want to become also a Trainer. The two became close friends due their familiar interests and their sibling thing (same goes for Tim and Jovi). They spend their time on Battle practices, slacking around and researching; including getting teassed by their younger siblings.

One day, when the four siblings returned from Dr. Kaminko's manor for some quests, they soon became witnesses to Pr. Krane getting kidnapped by Team Cipher, whose research on the Purify Chamber represents a threat to the organization's plans. So the pair out to save Krane, in the process encountering a street thug named Zook and Mr. Verich in Gateon Port, where Ardos one of the latter’s bodyguards, protects the four from Zook's Shadow Zangoose. After Michael’s Eevee evolved into Jolteon, Summer catches a Castform and Vulpix both recieved their Snag Machines, they headed to Cipher’s Lab, where they battled Lovrina, an executive and scientist of Cipher and rescued Pr. Krane. Later the duo headed to Pyrite Town, where they encounter the mysterious thief ‘’Jesica’’, who gave them some stolen Data from the labotory; telling them to go to ONBS for more informations. As soon they arrived, Cipher already raided the building, so they managed to defeat them, but Cipher managed to steal the Data Rom. Summer was renuited with her mother, Mia, who told her, that the Data contained an plot attack on Phenac City and her collegue, Marcia went already there. 

When they arrived, the city was left in empty streets and lots of Cipher Peons to fight. After defeating the Hexagon Brothers, find Marcia taken as hostage by another Cipher Admin, Snattle, who attemped to imidated her to hand over the records of Cipher’s attack. However, his plans were thwarded by the duo again and his actions and Cipher got exposed, thanks to Marcia. She tells them, that there is a area in the desert, where Cipher is doing suspicious activities: Turns out the place was the S.S Libra, where the thrid Admin, Gorigan and his team are stealing Pokemon for their plans. They tried to defeat them, but Summer was caught by one of them and felt down the wreck; leaving her for death and Micheal knocked uncounsious  by Team Snagem and had his Snag Machine stolen by them. Luckily Summer was injured slightly and found an Egg later. When she went to the exit, she found and brought him to a worker (who lived here) for help. Till he woke up, Minami went around and encountered Jesica again, who battled her and got defeated by the young girl, before she could ask her, the woman disappered, not before saying “Met me at the Snagem Hideout and tell your friend, to reclaim the Snag Machine”. With Micheal finnaly awake, the two stormed the Hideout, only to find Jesica confronting the gand leader, Gonzap. But things got unexpected, as the woman revealed herself to be Mia and told the kids about her past and that she blackmailed them, in order to keep her family safe and coopeared with them against Cipher. After a battle against her and Gonzap, Team Snagem returned the Snag Machine to Michael, but Summer being devasted about her mother, she ran back home.
