Why the Distortion World Is Empty

Wrote this back in 2018 as part of an attempt to explain a weird bit of the Pokémon Platinum setting. Pokémon names in ALLCAPS because that's how it was done back in DPPt.

~~~~~

"The legend told of a world on the other side of ours. This world. Why does this world exist? Why is GIRATINA here all alone?" -Cynthia

You are the hero of Sinnoh. You were there on Spear Pillar when Team Galactic attempted to create a new world. You watched as the Lake Trio tried to sabotage the ritual, and GIRATINA dragged the team’s mad leader into its own world. Into the portal you had gone, and with the help of the Lake Trio, navigated the Distortion World. It was You who defeated Cyrus and then calmed that dragon of shadows. Then you found your way out so that you could continue your journey.

Now, you head north, to Lake Acuity. To check on the psychic who lives within, among other reasons. From Acuity Lakefront, you Rock Climb up to the forest. Using HM03 Surf, you reach the center of the lake. There is, as expected, a cave structure there.

You enter Acuity Cavern. At the center of the cave, you see a small blue and yellow Pokémon levitating. it seems to stare at you from beneath its closed eyes. And then you hear a voice. No, not hear - at least not literally.

“Ah, you have made it. Good.”

'...'

“Surprised I can communicate? You shouldn’t be, if you were listening to Cynthia. I am UXIE, the being of knowledge, should I not possess that which I embody?

I have been waiting for you. You did well, in saving the universe. And you calmed GIRATINA. Did you do so by catching the renegade? No, don’t tell me. It is not often that I get the chance to be surprised. And you made it out of the Distortion World well enough, didn’t you?” It is a good thing that place was otherwise uninhabited, or else what would you have done had your Pokémon all fainted? There are no Pokémon Centers to return to there, after all. But it is odd isn’t it? That World’s emptiness?”

'...'

“had you truly not considered it? It is not as if there is anything stopping other Pokémon from being there. You can enter and leave through Turnback Cave without issue. Why can’t others? There are BRONZOR and BRONZONG living right nearby the portal.”

'...'

“Because it is uninhabitable, hmm? You are working on the Pokédex Project are you not? Have you ever encountered anywhere untouched by humans where Pokémon do not thrive? I assure you, there aren’t. Why isn’t there anything living off the upward rivers or ephemeral trees?”

'...'

“Ahh. I need not look at you to see your eyes moving – the figurative gears in your head spinning. You are thinking! Very good. I knew I liked you. The truth then: It was not always uninhabited. Do you wish to know what happened, hmm?”

'...'

“Of course you do. Why else would simply stand there? Very well then: here it is:

The Mythical MEW, as you may know, is very often the creator of New Species. One day, just under half a billion years ago, near the end of what you humans call the ‘Devonian Period’, MEW became bored - as it often does. And in its boredom, it wondered its way into that Distorted realm. There, it found a world of Ghost and Rock and Ground and Water Pokémon who got lost within or else were descended from those who did. And there in GIRATINA's Realm, MEW found, was a world with most niches unfilled. When an unfilled niche is found - whether real or imagined, MEW holds the right to fill it with a creation of its own. And so, it decided to execute that right.

The environmental factors which affect how well a species would thrive in that Reverse world were found to be totally unlike those seen anywhere else. Thus the new species for this realm would also have to be totally unlike those seen anywhere else. MEW took a look at the world's primary inhabitant and the lack of stability of space and time, and then began to create. Creatures with great mouthed tentacles for gripping the disappearing rocks and trees. Vast dragons with claw-armed mouths. Monsters with multitudinous fin-wings for swimming through non-euclidean rivers and skies. Phasing tenebrous spirits to consume the wyrms at the centers of floating landmasses. Organisms shaped like walking human towers. Powerful blocks of color. Others were stranger still. MEW called the creations 'cute'. After a year of observing, playing with the new children, and hanging its tail - swinging back and forth - from one being's stinger tail, it grew bored once more, and, deciding its work to be good in its eyes, promptly left.

At first it was. MEW's creations were well suited to their environment - better than the sidereal native lives that had made their home in that world. And Nature took its course, as the new outcompeted the old. But the eldritch creatures were too successful. Once all the sidereal organisms were consumed, the horrors began to focus their unsated hungers on the terrain itself. Swarms of ▶ A drank whole forests. The dreaded 'M slowly assimilated entire floating landmasses. Soon some even began to consider the Lord of Antimatter as potential prey if ganged up on. Actually gave the Renegade some exercise fighting them. And then some managed to come through a portal to our world unscathed. You could imagine the terror when they began to consume the land. The invaders were exterminated, and all saw the danger that had been let loose.

But MEW holds not just the role of a creator but also a destroyer. Its eldritch creations were found to be a threat to all ecosystems they encountered. To us. The less dangerous were driven off to exotic planes and light years distant stars. As for the others - with a hardened heart, MEW worked with GIRATINA to purge the horrors from that mirrored realm. MEW promised never to make another species for that place's niches again, and it remains all but uninhabited to this day. Now the Pokémon of this world are too afraid to crossover.”

'...'

“Might some of the more dangerous entities have escaped their purgation, you ask? Oh yes. All that remained awoke three years ago. But none survive today.

Now then: I need not read your mind to know that you are not here simply to check on my health. I have waited my entire existence for this moment – this opportunity to make meaningful decisions of mine own. Step forward, human.

Come – To Battle!”

~~~

Wrote this back in 2018 as part of an attempt to explain a weird bit of the game setting. I had planned on writing a multi-chapter sequel (interquel?) that gives a more behind-the-scenes look at things that doesn't whitewash events at all (it would be titled "Where the Wild T̶̢̘͓̹̘̳͙͉͉͈͈̲̣̿͌͌̉̀̄̅ẖ̷̡͎̞̹͖͕̟͙̪͌͐̑́̂̈͘͘ͅị̴̧̢̲̩̬̻̯̣̠͙̄̐̑́̅̾̑̊͌̊́͑́͜͠n̸͎̖̻͉̣̻̒̌͗̎́̇̈̈́̃̐͋́͝g̵̗̮̩̳̥͙̗͔̞̥̫̟͎̹͗͘s̸̰̖͉̔̔́̇͝ went") but that's probably never going to amount to anything.

This sort of thing is probably a problem in a universe where creatures with reality altering powers exist, huh?

Inspired by that caterpie post by @zmpl

The Thing About Eyes.

"It is said that it can wipe out the memory of those who see its eyes."

I can't be the only one to notice how the gems look kinda like eyes if you look at it the right way, yeah? Wiping memories of those who see it's eyes, and quizzing the protag about how many eyes certain pokemon have... it's sure got a fun thing going on smh.

"Now tell me, challenger. How many eyes do I have? ... ... ... Two? Ahaha... Incorrect."

I wonder what would happen if a different set of the lake trio went to hisui?

Do you mean their future versions, shiny versions from Ultra Space, or from another universe? It would be interesting to see if having two sets had any effects in humans.

Do people in Hisui find themselves more emotional all of a sudden? Overcome by various at the drop of the hat. Are people suddenly more stubborn or willing to see something through? I’m not sure what having double Knowledge would do… Make the Hisuians more open to learning, learn things at an advanced rate, or does new info pop in their minds?

If it was the Lake Trio who already went through the events of Diamond/Pearl/Platinum. I could see all three being open to interacting with the skyfaller early. Just on the principle of being more used to humans. How their past/other selves would react is interesting to think about!

I could see them pranking Cyllene though.

Obfuscating Implausibility: The Hidden Ones

Note: Pokémon names are in ALLCAPS, because that's how they were written in-game in the games (RBY/FRLG, GSC/HGSS, RSE, DPPt) this is set in.

-----

The most implausible - most threatening to observe - aspect of existence was not the primacy and success of humanity, nor the e̢͒ͧͩ̉͐̀̾̎͂̂҉̸͟͠n̡ͪ̓ͫ̂̔͛̔ͣ͒͂҉tͤ̈ͮͣͭ́͟i̵ͨ̓ͩ̈͗̚̕͏t̛͐ͣ̍̓͒͂ͯ̆̊ͦ̈́͒̃ͦ͏̶i̴̶̾̓̾̇̐̑̉̏̽ͬe̶͗ͧ̈̾̌̉͠͠ş͊̐̽̀̈́͗̎̊͂͂͝ hidden in the Kanto region, nor even the mailman. No, it was a person - a group of people, really - who could be found in almost every region involved in the Pokédex project. And they could be found in places accessible to any human. UXIE found itself both exasperated that no one noticed them and terrified that someone eventually would. Was the heretofore lack of discovery due to the nature of the universe, or simply happenstance? The former suggested either even fewer degrees of freedom than UXIE thought existed or a level of skill and forethought involved in the creation that the legendary Pokémon somewhat doubted. The latter possibility was what scared UXIE. It could easily imagine the innumerable possible outcomes if others were to learn of them: none of them were good, and a plurality saw doom follow the existential crises that would be invoked. And so, observing AZELF's relative proximity to one of the beings, and the rapid approach of Year One, UXIE decided to take matters into its own hands.

The initially considered solution of personally erasing the minds of all who encountered them was immediately thrown out. UXIE could not be everywhere at once, especially not while imprisoned by a doomsday cult and having its head jewel painfully removed. No – it would have to be automated via the UNOWN, which introduced further complications.

The second possibility, then, was to have the UNOWN erase the memories of the information imparted by these beings. This wouldn’t work for obvious reasons: it required either (a) identifying the men to be hidden, or (b) encoding the information to be hidden into the UNOWN’s collective hive-mind. No matter how unintelligent the UNOWN were, UXIE dreaded the possibility of needing to erase the memories each individual member if they figured out what it was they were hiding. Worse, it introduced an obvious trail that other more intelligent beings could follow. Allowing the so-called ‘Original One’ to discover the truth about its existence could not be permitted.

The next possibility was to have the UNOWN automatically suppress the minds of all within the vicinity of the beings in question. This was discarded not because it left a trail (this could be solved), nor because it intruded on AZELF and MESPRIT’s domains (for this end justified the means), but because it broke the specifications for the Johto region.

The solution, it turned out, was to copy the effect that seemed to exist already. The UNOWN would ensure that none other than itself whose minds they held sway over would notice, nor be able to form memories about specified locations. Simply using these locations left a trail – and so UXIE designed an algorithm to ensure that for every one that needed to be hidden, 100 others sites were as well. Nowhere important of course – no one could actually reach any of the others. It would take the constant processing power of a full 3% of the UNOWN– about half of which went to opposing the minds of ARCEUS, UXIE's siblings, and the eventual super-powerful artificial psychic.

Of course, ‘None whose minds the UNOWN held sway over’, was the important part, for those that the UNOWN didn’t were meant to find the beings. And so they were. First the Old Ones were discovered in Kanto. Thankfully the only psychics strong enough to watch from outside were cities away, or were ALAKAZAM, who were in on the secret already. Then came the discovery in Hoenn. There too, there was nothing to worry about, for much the same reasons. Needless to say, both happened without issue.

And now it would happen in Sinnoh, in a hotel so close to where AZELF dwells. This time, UXIE would have to make sure nothing goes wrong personally. Which was why it watched from the window as You approached the man. The psychic held its breath for a moment in anticipation, then sighed as it realized that no else one had noticed what the avatar was saying when he began to speak:

"Hi! I’m the Game Director!..."

~~~

It is kind of weird that you can interact with Game Freak in-game. In some of the games, we can even see computers that have the code we're running on displayed. Mostly, we ignore that they exist for immersion purposes, but what if they were actually there? Why doesn't anyone notice them? Here's an attempt at answering. I have to say that I REALLY like using Uxie for 'Just-So' stories. In all honesty, I've been sitting on this for four years, with the intent that this is the ninth work (and first work of the second half/arc) of a legendary pokémon focused series, the beginning of a series of one-shots where Uxie obfuscates implausible facets of the Pokémon universe(s) ('where do Mystery Gifts come from?', 'why does anime Bill's lighthouse's carvings of various pokémon include Mewtwo?', etc) from the universe's(') inhabitants - in order to keep everyone sane and prevent anyone from undergoing existential crises. Given that I'm still stuck fleshing out the first two-thirds of Chapter 7/10 of fic #3 in the series after struggling with it for four years, that's probably never going to happen.

The guardians of the lakes in the Sinnoh region, Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie, show their curious side as they examine and become fascinated with one of human's creations; balloons. Their fascination stems from the fact that not only do they come in all different shapes and sizes, but also, how they effortlessly fly/float in the air. Plus, they are a lot of fun to play with, or in the case of Azelf, bounce on.

I recently saw a tweet by Clip Studio Paint showcasing a fellow artist's tips on illumination when it comes to objects. Within those tips were different ways blending paint options could be used to one's advantage. I figured it could also apply to Krita and I gave it a whirl. I was surprised to see how well these different blending paint effects worked together with the flat colors to give them the shading I needed for everything I needed; from the lake guardians to the balloons, it worked marvelously! My favorite way of blending was with the airbrush tool as it made the balloons really pop when it comes to colors, shading, and contrast! The blending tool can also be useful outside of the airbrush to allow me to create the shading I needed for Uxie, Azelf, and Mesprit!

Let me tell you, drawing the three lake guardians wasn't easy! Their bodies weren't too hard to draw, but their heads were an entirely different story! In my honest opinion, Uxie took the longest to draw out of all 3 lake guardians due to their head's complexity! There are a lot of curves and facial details I had to take into account as I was drawing them, especially in the position and pose I wanted. Even so, it turned out great and it's more experience at the end of the day. Mesprit was probably the easiest to draw as unlike Uxie and Azelf, (whom I'll get to in a bit.) their facial features and design were the simplest. Granted, their pose wasn't the most difficult thing in the world, but the point was to showcase their facial expression and work on head positioning to have them look upwards at something while facing directly forward. Azelf was a tough one too, but not as tough as Uxie, in my opinion. Their pose was unlike anything I've tried, especially since there aren't any official pieces of artwork depicting Azelf in this position. Regardless, this was a lot of fun to draw and a worthy challenge. As far as drawing their head, it was hard, sure, but thankfully, the base head shape being an oval made things easier to work with when it came to adding the details to them.
