the vague reburst story that my brain abandoned because the plot is based on characterisation and none of that makes sense to me but it looks so cool
Based on Pokemon ReBurst. Terminology post to be made and linked here
Arial = Clefable line
Protagonist
Gets Cleffa, eventually evolves into Clefairy, evolves into Clefable near end
Phran = Gengar line
Deuteragonist?
Gets Gastly when Arial gets Cleffa but doesn’t say.
Secretly becomes a vigilante.
Secret Burst Warrior vigilante.
Revealed to Arial after saving him. Gengar at this point? Them being a vigi kinda seems like end of arc but if it’s not then Haunter.
I think designs were vague gijinka/anthro their pokémon but I like the opposite as well. Very vague though I mean it. Just close to colours and spikes or curls. Only hint is Vibes, whatever that means.
Basis of plot: Arial is eager to the point of recklessness, Phran is generally apathetic and go with the flow. Character arcs based on learning from one another
Hence Clefable/Gengar thing
Arial learns to choose his battles, Phran changes to have some initiative & ambition.
Foreshadowed in how they gain their Burst Hearts; Arial runs away and Phran goes out of her way to take the other box. (Foreshadowing their behavioural changes based on their behaviour is a Choice. I mean emphasise it’s different because of the Burst Hearts?? Somehow??)
