Flannery in Reborn - The Tale of a Firehead [Last defeated: Aster & Eclipse]
Q-Jei replied to Q-Jei's topic in Team Showcase
I think it's precisely because this is the first time we see Flannery acting so nastily that so many readers are shocked by this episode in particular. With all the recent moments of violence and unfairness she's been attending to from the day of her arrival, it was pretty difficult for Flannery to stay cool and keep up the same level of toleration all the time. The more she was exposed to violent situations, the more she turned violent herself. But these situations are not just limited to Reborn. Otherwise, she surely would have behaved differently. Five years ago, during the clash with Team Aqua, she herself saw how far a devilish organization could go to achieve its goal. Needless to say, she's been through a lot. And still, I put it mildly. For those who didn't know, Flannery's past in TTOAF refers a lot to the manga which is itself particularly ominous and oppressing at times. It contains scenes that are at least as unsettling as the ones depicted in episode 20, and which at the same time, highlight Flannery's durability considerably. Let me give you some examples of what these scenes are about exactly. And believe me, I didn't show you everything. This combined with Reborn's merciless environment, the chance for Flannery to go from love to hate in the presence of evildoers was legitimate and not negligible. Some might say it's a matter of choice to be good or evil through your actions. In Flannery's case, there was a point where she somewhat decided to stop holding back. But don't mistaken with what I wrote above. To me, what happened to Flannery during the raid in Mosswater Factory is a tragedy more than anything else, the creepy result of an infernal sequence of events she shouldn't have been involved in. And what makes it worse is that nothing she did is defendable. I freaking love Flannery myself, and it's a wrench to depict her like that. But somehow, this had to be done one way or another. Fortunately, the advantage of a character like Flannery is that she has several opportunities to grow up and learn from the mistakes she made as the story unfolds. In a future episode, she will eventually realize that the more she fought against injustice, the more ruthless she became. I'll stand by that: Flannery will never end up like Sirius, Tania or Saphira! -
My apologies, you got fire sparks instead Is Raion still around?

Aaaand why yes? Yes I do I give you my two Pokecents that a dark Mew will pop out of the blue next ^^

Flannery in Reborn - The Tale of a Firehead [Last defeated: Aster & Eclipse]
Q-Jei replied to Q-Jei's topic in Team Showcase
No worries, I'm satiated already And yeah, Julia and Flannery tend to share some common points with each other, I give you that. However, there might be some subtleties between those two. Julia needs destruction to entertain herself in an inoffensive way while Flannery is more of a daredevil who loves doing things relentlessly and passionately but can't stand to be pushed over the edge. In Flannery's case, I would rather say that destruction is a means of last resort that has been used more than it was supposed to. Sadly, this tempestuous way to be was accentuated because of what she has been through in Reborn. Hopefully, she will "cool down" a little with what is supposed to come next. And yeah, she will definitely have an affinity with Charlotte. Being fire lovers themselves, they will get along well together. Plus, they both have family matters that might strengthen their friendship since Flannery is not that different from an orphan in some way. And so I am All these edits were more fun to make than I would have thought actually! A nice booming for Julia ^^ And yeah, just like I said to Candy, Flannery's state of mind is not that enjoyable for everyone, which is normal in itself. The thing is, we know why she acted so harshly against thug numreo uno and the Meteor grunt. As we saw a few episodes earlier, her Pokemon and her life were endangered because of them the first day of her trip in Reborn. All the recent events combined have led to an increasing amount of impulsivity inside of Flannery, which have forced her to believe in absolute justice and apply it on her own. Having that said, I can't completely defend Flannery myself either. Otherwise, it would mean that her violent acting could become even more devouring and dangerous than it already was. In other words, she would become what Sirius wanted her to be. This raises some moral issues in the end. But if it can reassure you, I already have anticipated it as from episode 18. This sequence of raging outburst will eventually be attenuated in a very near future, don't worry! -
Back from embers and ashes! Are you still around Silver?

Flannery in Reborn - The Tale of a Firehead [Last defeated: Aster & Eclipse]

Nostalgia to the max!

Good news: those who waited so long for the next episode of TTOAF to be uploaded, something pretty cool is supposed to happen during this week! Not gonna hide you anything, I feel horribly torn because of how my life style has impacted my writings. Hopefully, I'll feel more serene when the last month of my internship will be achieved, just like the report and diaporama I'm currently working on. Don't worry for me, I'm still here. Silent and not very communicative, I agree, but I'm still here.
See you very soon, and take care!

That is probably the best rescue of all time to me! It was so professional and charged with emotion that it got my eyes wet! We need more people with this mindset! They are part of those who help me to regain faith in humanity!
Foxes are essentials, respect them!

Hello everybody, how are you all doing? Don’t know about you guys, but I’ve been pretty busy these days. For those who wanted to know why, that’s because I’ve been teleworking for my internship without any day off, and I’ll still be at it until mid-August. As a result, I’ve somewhat lost the sense of time and was quieter than usual. My organisation may have approached the ‘doughless pizza’ level, I’m commited to get the next episode of TTOAF done in the most proper way. Furthermore, I’ve quickly realised that some steps during the writing session could be ignored, so the timelapse between two uploads wouldn’t last forever as it currently happens. Because yes, there’s no need to sweep it under the carpet. Overtime, it became pointless to translate Flannery’s adventures in two different languages, especially since there’s only one version out on Team Showcase. If I only focus on the English version of the episodes, my work would become significantly easier and less tiresome. Don’t think however that I’ve grown tired of my hobbies: it’s basically my defective way to proceed that made me slow down the pace. The fact of writing down the same thing two times in a different format had made it redundant to me, so I had to seriously meditate on a long-term solution. Now this is clear: I must draw a line on my native language and essentially opt for English during the writing sessions. This way, the timelapse between the future episodes would become shorter and it would be a way more enjoyable experience for me and for you.
All this to say, gomenasai everyone! I know it’s been forever, but this plus the fact I’ve been busy because of my internship has led to the muffle of my overall activity on the community where all I did was sharing music and participating to the prediction game in Onyx Arcade. Be reassured, the day I’ve decided to let TTOAF down has not come yet. The proof is, I’m almost done with episode twenty. Hope it will be worth the efforts (and the wait)!
Stay tuned for further information~

Meditative and ethereal. Sounds like an echo of peaceful spirits.

Definitely one of the most underrated video games of the last decade.

Oh men, I just tried out the hard mode in Amnesia The Dark Descent last night. That was by far one of the most stressful gaming experiences I ever had! It really makes you feel like you're a clown fish lost in a bunch of sharks!

Oopsi whoopsi. You’ve met another redhead instead. Let’s call for Baumina!

Is that a Phoenix? If so, it's really well designed! Love the red neon effect on it! 10/10

Theory about Lin's Pokemon (major spoilers)
Q-Jei replied to Between Life and Death's topic in Reborn City
That's a possibility, but personally, I doubt she would use Elias' methods to trick the player. This has already been done before, and it would be against Lin's concept of pure unbridled power. However, I support this theory of broken will. This one makes more sense in the current situation, especially if you take one of the PULSE Machines into consideration: PUSLE2. According to Evelyn's dialogue, this PULSE in particular enables Team Meteor to have augmented Pokemon and allows them to have 252 EVs in every stat, which removes the 510 EVs total limit. And not just that, it can also be used to affect the will of the Pokemon themselves, so Team Meteor can turn them against their respective owners as they please. According to the PBS files, it's indicated that Solaris' Garchomp has been through this type of maximization before we face him in Agate City, so it would make sense if Lin's team was made of Pokemon with 252 EVs in every stat. As for the Pokemon that Lin will use in fight, I think they will partly be stolen Pokemon who can perform well in the New World field. -
