Trash Central

Note:

Due to the limited number of main characters, in this region, there are 8 gym leaders but 4 are also Elite 4 members. The Story is not finished, things might be change. This is my headcanon of the characters but feel free to throw ideas at me somewhere if you want.

Jefferson and Gilbert are aged up for reason that we cannot send literally babies out into a world that has snails with a body temperature of the sun and balloons that want to kidnap you. For this Au their age is between 12-15

Jefferson: Protagonist

Starter is a Piplup he gets from IWD

Silent type

Speech muffled by scarf

Sometimes takes his scarf off to speak clearly but only towards people he trusts

Only Gilbert understands the scarf language

Enjoys traveling around with Gilbert

Gets nervous on his own in the wilderness

Really wanted a cannon once

No longer wants a cannon

Carries around a super soaker in case of emergency, mostly uses on Gilbert

Gilbert: Rival

Also already has an Houndor that may or may not have been stolen as an egg

Technically he found it on the side of a road when a shady looking truck dropped a crate of eggs. He just ran off with one before the driver could stop him

Very not silent type

Wants to be stronger and become champion to impress IWD

Very rebellious to many forms of authority

Got taken into custody once because he stole a cannon from a museum with a friend he claimed to of met while at Barackula’s

He’s banned from ever going to Barackula’s again but sometimes Jefferson secretly takes him along when IWD wants a package delivered there so he can see his friend

No one actually knows who this friend is tho. Gilbert never got their name

Tends to run off a lot to train

Professor IWD: Professor

researches ancient magic and curses

Can’t travel due to pain so he sends Gilbert and Jefferson to do some errands.

Close friends with Elite 4

Took in Gilbert when he found Gilbert in a trash can outside his house.

Also took in Jefferson a few days later after Gilbert insisted that they go to nearby town to find his friend

Not the best dad nowadays due to work and worsening pain

Because of that, he regularly sends the kids to End Mii or sometimes Cupcake if she’s not busy.

Used to send them to Barackula too but after the cannon incident, he’s a lot more reluctant to send Gilbert

Never told the kids what IWD stood for

Von Karma: Repeating Grunt

Literally just Jessie and James from the anime but all in one person

Has a Mr. Mime named Moe who is the stand in for Meowth. Can’t talk like him tho

Here just to be a menace to society

“Yes for you see Jefferson and Gilbert… IT WAS I WHO STOLE YOUR PRECIOUS PIKACHU!” “…. But, none of us have a pikachu?”

Doesn’t have much impact on the story side of things, other the fact that he’s always right around the corner… Somehow

“The Sage”: Current Champion

Not much known about The Sage, not even him true name or his past, so people have started calling him “The Sage” because of his outfit or just “The Champion”

Only confirmed information about him is that he has beaten the elite 4 and previous Champion, Khadgar, for championship

And that he has a Solrock and Ditto

A few weeks after becoming the new champion, two of the Elite 4 suddenly resigned and supposedly left the region along with the Champion after a few days

He immediately appoints Dread to one of the positions. A few weeks later, appoints Chat

People were suspicious as new elite 4 were normally chosen from existing gym leaders. No one knew who Dread and Chat were before getting appointed

The curse of the flowerfolk is a cruel one. Once infected, some kinda of flora (usually a flower) will sprout on the back of the cursed’s neck, slowly growing and consuming the host’s body until nothing but their skin and bones remains.

The host will feel none of this pain.

The first thing this curse seems to do is hijack is the brain and spine. Changes in personality and slurred speech are common within the first few hours of infection. By then, it’s too late to simply use magic to remove the curse without endangering the infected and possibly passing the curse onto the healer.

As the weeks go on, the plant on the host’s back will grow from the size of a pea to nearly as big as a ball. More and more of the original host will be consumed as spindly vines to wrap around their arms, legs and neck.
