667 - Absol Plays The Teal Mask: A Movie (Scarlet/Violet Expansion Pass DLC #1)

The meal task

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Face reveal at 10,000 likes Also, making this was kinda interesting because the story feels far from complete until we get the Indigo Disk!!!! I am SO excited for that and will be making (probably) a much better movie for that when it drops since we get the *true* Hidden Treasure of Area Zero side of the story!! I might be on a bit of another uploading hiatus for a couple weeks btw, but it will all soon become apparent why! I've got LOTS of stuff in the works, so stay tuned~

Fun easter egg regarding the story Milotic encounter at Crystal Pool: that Milotic is always Tera Ghost. You can't catch it, so there's no way to know outside datamine, but I definitely think it ties into the resurrection lore.

I think Carmine and Kieran went on the "exotic trip back home" to make sure no other blueberry academy kids got to go. Reinforcing the "we don't like outsiders" trope.

Kieran fits pretty well in the whole idea of the tera phenomenon working in tandem with the dreams/imaginations of people and Pokémon. Kieran’s whole deal with Ogerpon is that he finds the Ogre in the legend is a power fantasy. Despite being alone, the ogre held on its own against three Pokémon beloved by the village. Kieran is so smitten with Ogerpon, not because he thinks it’s secretly the good guy, but because he wants to be like her. I like how the story flips Carmen and Kieran’s roles. Carmen starts out as very battle hungry and sometimes aggressive in her demeanor, but in reality she means well and has a strong sense of justice. Meanwhile Kieran starts off timid and looks up to you, but as you poke at his insecurities his true fury starts to surface and his desire for power starts to take control. It’s this internal hunger for power that makes Ogerpon uncomfortable. Kieran says he wants to be friends with Ogerpon, but he’s not being entirely honest since a large motivator is his desire to become strong enough to overpower others. This is why, at this point in his arc, he couldn’t befriend Ogerpon. His intentions are not sincere and he’s being selfish when he tries to force his way to make himself Ogerpon’s trainer. It’s this reason that I don’t feel bad capturing Ogerpon, as Kieran really wasn’t fit to be her trainer. Odds are is Kieran will seek to become stronger in Blueberry Academy and gets roped into Briar’s tera research. I’m very excited to see if anything manifests as a result of Kieran’s fantasy for power through the tera crystals.

Hey Matt! Loved the movie, it was super cool seeing the unique team you built by the end of it! However, I have some choice words for Cal Zone, so if you wouldn't mind passing the following letter onto him, that would be greatly appreciated. Dear Cal Zone, My name's Dominic, but you can call me the #1 Bellsprout Fan, and I am writing this letter to you to inform you that I have had ENOUGH. You and your middling Oddish army fail to recognize the beautiful plant that those "bozos" at GameFreak seem to also shun. We in the Bellsrout community have been outcast ever since Dexit, we weren't in Sword and Shield, we weren't in Legends Arceus, we weren't in BDSP until the postgame, we weren't in PLA, and to my dismay, we weren't in Scarlet and Violet either. And do you want to know what was? Oddish. Sword and Shield rolled around and GameFreak kicked us to the curb, giving your slimy, disgustingly purple hacky sack the sunlight it most certainly did not need. For all this time Oddish and Bellsprout have been begrudging counterparts and version exclusives, with Oddish always taking what was rightfully ours. Victreebel was starving for good moves, all the while Alpharad sweeps Let's go Pikachu with his "Vile Pile" and gives all the love to that wretched emo flower. What do we have on Solar beam huh? Sprout Tower? You can't even catch Bellsprout there! We've been living in Oddish's shadow for all this time and then you had the audacity to build your measley Oddish army, slandering us even further. I've been complacent, I've let you go on and on about the Safari Zone and your love for Oddish because that's what Bellsprout fans do. We're compassionate and understand that people can like what they like, no matter how wrong they are. But you've crossed the line Mr. Zone. I was overjoyed to see my wonderful, luscious Bellsrpout finally return in the land of Kitakami. I raised my Jimmy to be the most powerful shiny Bellsrprout there ever was, and beat the whole DLC using only grass types. It was heaven. But suddenly you pulled me back to hell. The Bellsprout community was finally thrown a bone and you have the gall to punch down on us, saying those "bozos" at GameFreak mistakenly included Bellsrpout over your filth. Oh yeah Cal? What about Sword and Shield Cal? Where's the balance Cal? No, there isn't any, and it's time we flipped the table in our favor. Your payment is due Oddish army. My Bellsprout Batallion is rapidly approaching your feeble Oddish Army as we speak, and armed with the power of Swords Dance and Power Whip we will smite you. I hope your happy with what you've wrought. I've been waiting. And my time has come. - Dominic

I think the stone monument for the Loyal Three is like the ancient form of a pokeball. A different version of the physical constructs the four Ruinous Beasts had. Like a cheer boost in battle, I think Kieran's strong angry emotions let his punch charge the Loyal Three enough for them to fully break the aged seal. I want to think a story about the invention of the pokeball is coming soon maybe with a future Legends title. Arceus and Hoopa got those bindings from somewhere and I crave the lore lol & also also you do such a good job with these movies I always enjoy your passion for these freaky lil guys thank you
