LOST PHENOMENA

Also Briar thinks Raifort is hot. They should kiss over being ne’erdowells.

' Yes. '

It's real. It's really really real. And she use to think those whispers were cause for concern; that the mocking hum of a family curse to go mad from this venture had some plausibility. Her pen stops mid correction on some mundane student work she had to return to.

✹✧ } Fair work. Everyone came back ... no one got hurt ... and she finally confirmed her ancestor's work from so long ago. As soon as her recount of the Area Zero venture was published she oh so gladly sent the first copies to those damned critics mocking her and her family's name backed of course with confirmation from other professional colleagues after sending in some samples: deep underground tera crystals, footage of newly named STELLAR type, and of course...the lost jewel of Area Zero itself on camera down to what data the broken chips of it's masterball had recorded.

Normal type...small in stature but had such incredible power when terastilized. Shame Kieran wasn't able to contain it proper. She needed to study it closer and really test its boundaries. But as soon as they resurfaced she was quickly escorted away from Area Zero by the Paldea league after the ruckus. Probably had her permissions revoked. Wouldn't be surprised; she got reckless in her excitement and had forgotten the responsibilities of chaperoning students. Right. If they had really suffered there goes credibility. The world's greatest archeologist and Blueberry Academy professor turned child murderer in a freak accident. Not a good look, no. Almost as grim as Heath's name when he came back out of the Crater with most his team missing.

alrighty so im following indigo disc canon in some parts but changing details here and there:

- retconning how Briar isn't a good pokemon trainer. it just doesnt make sense that she's a world traveler and archeologist and is totally dependent on her students lol.

she's packing heat. like a lvl 80+ team with a diverse team from many regions. she prefers strats and stall to widdle away opponents ( and absolutely happy the battle is some 100+ turns of toxic, protect, recover lol )

- she's not done with area zero yet. she might've cleared her family name finally but her research was never on just finding terapagos.

Not the evil we want but the OBSESSED we deserve.

Putting children’s lives in danger is not good…unless it helps get you what you want

I’m still making her a different kind of SUS(tm) in my plot though dw this still aligns ; >
