#lousy three

I don't see why not!

Okay everyone this one is completely absolutely crazy but I think I’m right

Okay deep breaths and let’s get into it

I believe that Dokutaro

The evil peach Pokémon who apparently granted The Loyal Three there wishes of Strength/Wisdom/Beauty

Is based on something evil

Pennywise the clown from the Stephen King book

Now that sounds crazy right? Like totally and completely nutty

Buuuuuuuut in the book Pennywise has an arch nemesis a creator from the world he originally hailed from by the name of Maturin

The loser club in the book prayed to this creature for help and it gave them the power to stop Pennywise

Now wanna hear something crazy? Maturin was a turtle

And who else is a turtle? Terapagos

But that’s not my only reason for this connection, Kitakami is an odd place if ya think about it, the people seem…off in my opinion like the fact that only 3 people in the entire town ever questioned the story of the Lousy Three? Is odd very odd

That women Peachy who apparently just has a toy that looks like Dokutaro laying around her shop? It’s very odd especially when the TM for Amnesia is found right behind her shop.

So I got to thinking why are Kieran,Carmine and Their grandpa the only one who can see through the lies?

Well I think there’s a ferry good explanation for that

All starts with The Mask Maker, he had exposure to the Tera crystals when he made the mask, I believe the energy from Terapagos made him immune to Dokutaro’s manipulation

And throughout the years his descendants inherited this immunity 

That’s whyhe was the only one who could see the truth of Ogerpon’s battle with The Lousy Three

But the rest of Kitakami was under its spell, and honored them for their loyalty to Dokutaro

But due to whatever reason perhaps Ogerpon’s killing of them? Or perhaps an unseen battle left Dokutaro weakened and trapped in its useless body….

Until we arrive that is

Like I said Kieran inherited the immunity from The Mask Maker

But it’s not perfect, our betrayal left Kieran in a very vulnerable spot and Dokutaro was able to latch onto (within him)

It wants the mask do Kieran steals it but after we defeat him Dokutaro realizes Kieran is too weak to do what’s necessary

So when he punches the memorial, Dokutaro used the small bit of its remaining power to resurrect The Lousy Three

And they did what they were supposed to do and stole the masks form Ogerpon who at this point didn’t have the rage and sorrow it once did and was beaten by them

But think about it? It’s control has only grown these past 3 months, Dokutaro is in Kieran’s brain pumping toxic norepinephrine making him angrier and more easy to control

Okay but did we ever actually get any explanation for how they came back to life? I’ve seen a few theories, one of them being it was the Tera Crystals in Ogerpon’s mask, but I feel like we would have seen that ability alluded to elsewhere if that was the case. (And Indigo Disk confirms that Kitakami’s Crystal Pool showing you the deceased is time travel, not anything to do with resurrection.)

Another theory I’ve seen is it was Pecharunt’s doing, and while there’s nothing in the game to say it CAN bring back the dead - it’s powers seem to revolve around controlling people - it does feel more credible than the crystal theory? The light shown at the Three’s revival was purple, and Pecharunt is their master too.

A while back, I posted for suggestions for nicknames for Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti. I finally got around to catching them, so it's time to crown the winners!

First up- Munkidori.

He is now Mojo Jojo! I'm afraid I can't find the person who posted this name, but they came in early and hit hard. I grew up on the Powerpuff Girls, so this was pretty much over the second they hit enter.

Runners Up for Munkidori

@pepsimansthickjuicymeatyschlong- enn eff tee

@ezdrools- Paul (I assume it's a reference to the DNA Productions logo)

@gamegem92- Ape Escape (I know they changed it but I love Ape Escape)

@thephantomwolfi3- Bored Ape

Next up- Okidogi

@thephantomwolfi3 came up with Cheems. While not a huge fan of the meme, that ironically only made the name more attractive to me.

Runners-Up for Okidogi

@bellatheinkdemon- Princess

@gamegem92- Husky Tantrum

Finally- Fezandipiti

This was a hard contest. Ultimately, I took Malewife from a group because it amused me. @eggchjf also submitted the rest of the holy trinity- Mansplain and Manipulate.

Runners Up for Fezandipiti

@pepsimansthickjuicymeatyschlong- makeup youtuber (would have won if I could fit it neatly into the twelve character limit)

Now, here's some honorable mentions for group names

@starwarrior65- Okidogi=Moe, Munkidori=Curly, Fezandipiti=Larry and all together called the Loyal Stooges.

(Other people went this route too, but I'm highlighting this one for the addition of the new group name)

@starchbean- I named them Dunkdon, Grifthound, and Dipstick :P

@lucked-out-mouse- Caffeine, Steroids, Botox

@mynarco- i saw someone on twitter name them gaslight (munkidori) gatekeep (okidogi) girlboss (fezandipiti) if that helps at all

@gurren-logout- Ed, Edd, and Eddy

@56th-tin-knee- Monkretin (monkey + cretin), Thugrizzly (thug + grizzly), and Charlatrane (charlatan + crane)

(I loved these three so much. They sound like real Pokemon names!)

@lupinevolt- Doggonit, Baboonzled, Unpheasant

And with an out of context image, What does toxic revolutions Kieran look like?

Ok, to answer your question, short answer: they’re chained Pokémon

Long answer: They are a specific set of chained Pokémon who work under Pecharunt’s military division and are basically the strongest among the rest of the other units. While I said that they’re over 20 of them, in actuality, only 5 are generals and the rest are lieutenants under each general, said lieutenants have their own troops. Now, the military division has 5 factions, one with their own general as a leader. The troops are both possessed and toxic chained humans and Pokémon. If a certain number of troops are strong and experienced enough, they break off into a task force. Mainly to deal with situations that are out of hand and if the lieutenants or generals aren’t available or to save time. They’re way too many task forces to count but if you want to know, then I shall deliver. I really want to draw them out, but I can’t draw well and I’ve no money for commissions, but I have the concepts in my head :,). Also the lousy 3 aren’t part of it.

Speaking of the Lousy 3, after stuff that happened in the Teal Mask, Pecharunt found them and send all back to his headquarters. Considering how underpowered they all are compared to the rest of his troops, he decided to do a brutal training regime to help them increase in power level and to focus on their strengths and overcoming weaknesses. Pecharunt can just strengthen the power of the toxins, but he feels like it’s not going to help the 3 learn about putting in effort. So, here are the training regimes:

Okidogi: Practice endurance and number of punches he can do in a minute. As well as working on how fast his reflexes are.

Munkidori: Practice being able to see multiple outcomes at once so his abilities are not too rigid in thinking. Plays chess with Pecharunt to exercise his thinking skills, solves puzzles and riddles (and sometimes ARGs) that are given to him by Pecharunt for the same reason.

Fezandipiti: Practice aerial maneuvers, as well as endurance in how long he can stay airborne. Also trains in how far he can release his pheromones, to cover a wider range.

As for Kieran, I’d say he starts out normal. Until he meets Pecharunt, where he does get his desire granted via shaking Pecharunt’s hand (or in this case, a toxic chain that is like a hand). When a desire is granted, a sigil will be shown on his wrist which is the symbol of the toxic chain ⛓️‍💥 . Think of it like the sigils from The Owl House. His design in The Indigo Disk is virtually the same as his original counterpart but also having the symbol on his left wrist.

Throughout the story that I have for the AU, he slowly and subtly becomes more and more animalistic without him knowing, not full-on becoming a Pokémon or a hybrid, just some traits. Having sharper teeth, keener sense, enhanced strength, enhanced speed, enhanced agility, enhanced intelligence and so on. However, competitive Pokémon, this is desire that he wanted to Pecharunt grant and since Pecharunt is a man of his word, he agrees to the deal with no backstabbing. He does sort of become a puppet for Pecharunt during the story of the Indigo Disk and the third story. He only has a drastic design change once we hit the arc where Pecharunt truly makes his appearance and presence as an antagonist. Since, he’s been here the entire time, just waiting for the right time to strike.

But no spoilers as of now (and also, I don’t have to anything to think for his design so I kinda winged it, but I also am working on my main fic “Battlin’ on a Friday Night on AO3. And studies).

I hope this answers your question and sorry for taking so long. But for now, see you next time!
