Ash's Golbat

The fourteen **Golbat** that Ash captures are part of the group of Pokémon that are new to him this timeline.

## History

### Sabrina Arc

When Ash and company are exploring the Seafoam Caves they are attacked by the Zubat and Golbat that reside there. After being defeated, Ash captures the Golbat so that they do not drown and get eaten by Gyarados when the tide rises.

### Indigo Training Arc

Prior to the Indigo League, the Golbat were among the Pokemon training at the lab alongside Butterfree and Viv.

### Indigo Arc

Ash choose to bring one of the Golbat to his Top 16 match against Otoshi, begining with Golbat against Otoshi's Tangrowth. Golbat would battle with Otoshi's Tangrowth and Politoed before being recalled, and was sent back out to battle Otoshi's Pinsir, defeating the Bug-type. When Ash returned Golbat against Otoshi's Dodrio, Dodrio used Pursuit to strike Golbat as it left the field, knocking Golbat out.

## Moves

Atrice Syndrome

**Atrice Syndrome** is a mental illness that Pokémon can suffer from where they have a pathological need to be with a trainer, to help them, and be their friend.

## History

The first documented case of Atrice Syndrome came from a time when a young trainer had an encounter with a Beedrill from Viridian Forest. The trainer ended up getting poisoned, which caused severe brain damage and slowly the poison started killing him. The trainer's starter, a Bulbasaur, who had not been returned to its Poké Ball did not know how to function without its trainer. The Seed Pokémon dragged the trainer along with it, hoping to help keep him working towards his dream. The near unresponsive trainer and his Bulbasaur ended up travelling quite far together, but it was really more like a Pokémon dragging a walking corpse that could barely remember anything. The authorities only really noticed the problem when they found the boy dead with an Ivysaur that didn't want to leave his side and had to be sedated.

Studies proved that the Ivysaur's independence was completely lost to it, along with having a pathological need to have a good friendship/partnership with a trainer. The condition was named 'Atrice' after the boy's surname.

## Trivia

* The term "Atrice Syndrome" originates from the Pokémon fanfic "No Antidote."

H.O.P.E. Glove

The **Handheld Operative Pokémon Expediter Glove** is a tool developed by Professor Oak. It is designed to allow a Pokémon Trainer to swap out their active party with Pokémon stored at Oak's Lab. The prototypes were given to Ash Ketchum and Gary Oak to test out. They were chosen for this not only because the Professor trusted them, but also because he had their hand molds on hand.

Thanks to Ash's Pokédex writing the program, H.O.P.E. gloves can clone Pokéballs with the help of a Pokédex.

Ash's glove also has the ability to analyze and record data on Bloodliners that are within a 20-30 foot radius around itself. It could also be used to identify Bloodliners that are nearby.

Hiker Interlude

**Hiker Interlude** is the thirty-fourth Interlude sidestory in the expanded universe of *Pokémon Reset Bloodlines*. It is also the fourth sidestory written by BRANDON369 and sixty-fifth sidestory overall.

Going through a bad streak of lost battles one after another, a certain Hiker decides to go to the mountains to train himself. However, a chance encounter with a little girl leads him to confront a gang of pirates while they're in the middle of an attempt to smuggle Pokémon.

## Continuity

* First appearances of Mizu, Captain Crook, and Scuz.
* The Hiker's full name is revealed to be Monty Near Hawkins.
* First mention of The Phantom.
* This Interlude sidestory takes place within the timeframe between the Fuchsia Tag Tournament and Ash's gym battle against Janine.
Hilda

**Hilda** appears in Pokémon Reset Bloodlines as a Bloodliner working for The Bloodliner Prince. She is dedicated to him, even actively working to expand his harem. She despises humans and actively works toward the Prince's goal of putting Bloodliners on top and enslaving the human race.

## Bloodline(s)

### Species Bloodline (Zoroark)

Hilda can disguise herself as anyone with almost perfect accuracy.
Bond Phenomenon

**Bond Phenomenon** is an inherent ability for certain Pokémon to transform temporarily into a more powerful form. In a sense, it is similar to Mega Evolution, with the difference that it doesn't require an external item (such as a Key Stone and Mega Stone) to achieve. When in this state, the Pokémon's appearance is heavily altered, and it creates a two-way link between them and their trainer, allowing the trainer to see and hear the same as they do. This however is also a double-edged sword, as any damage the Pokémon sustains will be felt by the trainer, thus putting a strain on them that requires a lot of physical and mental strength to endure.

In the Resetverse, several Pokémon species are known to have this ability, though they are extremely rare and they need to be born with the capacity to harness Infinity Energy by themselves. Known instances include:

* Greninja (the Hero Greninja from Kalos' Ninja Village)
* Chesnaught (Casey Snagem's)
* Sawk (Marshall's)

When a Pokémon transformed by Bond Phenomenon clashes with a different form of Infinity Energy enhancement, such as fighting a Mega Evolved Pokémon or getting hit by a Z-Move, radiation is unleashed and there are other currently unexplained consequences.
Ash's Muk

Ash's original hug-loving Sludge Pokémon, **Muk** returns in Pokémon Reset Bloodlines.

## History

### Poison War Arc

Muk was one of the Pokémon ensnared by Belladonna's control when she and her companions took control of and shutdown the Gringy City power plant. Ash ran into him surrounded by his Grimer friends when trying to track down the perpetrator of the shutdown. When Ash attempted to capture Muk, the Grimer would block the Poké Balls one after another until they were all captured.

### Sabrina Arc

Muk was one of the Pokemon Ash had on hand when he was kidnapped by Sabrina, assisting in fighting off her army of Psychic-types and giving Ash some moral support before the rest of Ash's team arrived to save them.

### Indigo League Arc

Alongside three Tauros, Serperior, and Togepi, Muk was among the Pokémon on Ash's team in his first Indigo League battle with Pava, though he ultimately didn't choose to use Muk in the battle.

Muk made his Indigo League debut during the sixth round, fighting against Cross' Lycanroc. Despite putting up a good fight, he was ultimately beaten by the Rock-type, though in the process he managed to leave Lycanroc injured enough for Charizard to finish him off quickly and eventually win the match.

General DeEsper

**General DeEsper** was a commander of a great army and ally of Lord Avianus in an ancient war against what is now The Duchy of Rota.

## History

While marching his army to Rota to assist Lord Avianus in his attack on Rota, a strange man dressed in Rotan garb approached DeEsper's army accompanied by a Lucario. DeEsper heard the man claiming he came in peace and wanted to speak to DeEsper himself. He allowed it and when Aaron, as the man introduced himself as, had knowledge that he should not know, DeEsper issued a challenge to a duel. If DeEsper was to lose he would walk away with his army and not proceed to Rota, but if he were to win the other Bloodliner would become his prisoner.

Their duel commenced and DeEsper found himself edging towards a loss. Then against his orders, DeEsper's Alakazam tried to attack Aaron. The Lucario intervened, and the two Pokémon commenced their own duel. When DeEsper noticed that both he and Alakazam were going to lose, he decided that while he told no one to interfere in his own duel the same was not said of the Pokémon's, so he used a powerful Future Sight with Lucario as his target. The duel continued and DeEsper was forced into using a powerful last ditch effort attack against Aaron, right before the Future Sight attack started to materialize. Aaron managed to roll out of the way of the attack but instead of continuing on to finish DeEsper, DeEsper's trap distracted him and he pushed his Lucario out of the way and lost the duel as a result. DeEsper then lost consciousness after his near loss. When he awoke his army would tell him the two combatants disappeared.

Kadabra was temporarily traded to Ash for his Boldore, so that both Pokémon could evolve. After they did so, they were traded back to their original trainers.

### Mewtwo Arc

Alakazam was one of the Pokémon brought out on New Island. It was later captured by Mewtwo in one of its special Poké Balls before being cloned. When Alakazam was released from the ball by Anabel, who also had been captured before, the two worked together with the other Psychic-types present to get all the other balls to release their captives. Alakazam then participated in the mass battle with the clones until its resolution.

### Indigo Arc

Anabel and Alakazam helped Ash in multiple training sessions throughout the Indigo League Conference. During one such session they were interrupted by a group of goons who were fans of The Rookie Crusher. Alakazam helped fight them off.

Forge Smith

**Forge Smith** is a League approved Blacksmith that specializes in making item holders for Pokémon.

## History

### Hunter J Arc

Forge was being harassed by a large man and his two Mankey before Ash came along and chased the man off, leaving his Mankey behind. Forge was thankful that Ash had come along but frustrated he could not just give Ash the Mankey instead of having to call Pokémon control to come pick them up.

To thank Ash he attempted to give him a Thunderstone, but Ash denied it. Denying such an expensive prize impressed Forge. He then stated that he had a suspicion that Ash might be the fourth trainer he would make holders for that hold a special type of stone, presumably a Mega Stone. He then gifted Ash an item holder for Pikachu and an Eviolite. Before Ash left Forge exchanged phone numbers with the boy, in order to fill holder orders Ash may have in the future.

Anna

Anna was a character of the day from HopHopHop Town who in The Old Timeline mistook Ash for her son Arnold due to their likeness. She and her son return as reoccurring characters in the Resetverse.

## History

### The New Timeline (Past)

At some point in her life, Anna met the Bloodliner King, with whom she had a one-night stand that resulted in Arnold's birth.

Raising her son as a single mother, Anna discovered when Arnold was six years old that he was a Lock On Bloodliner. Fearing for her son's life, she made him promise that he'd never use his abilities in public, lest that somebody would try to hurt him for being different.

Anna would have relationships later with other men, who expressed interest in becoming fatherly figures for her son. Unfortunately, one of them died and another had to move away due to his job and he requested her to not to follow her to that horrible place.

### Arnold Interlude

One day while Anna was out shopping, she met with her son, who had befriended a little girl named Laila. Then a group of Team Rocket grunts led by Butch and Cassidy tried to hold Arnold hostage to make an example of him if they didn't hand over their Pokémon. This prompted Anna and her Arcanine to step in to defend her son. In the aftermath, Anna learned that Laila had been kicked out of her house for being a Bloodliner, and seeing she had nowhere else to go, offered to let her live with them.

A few days later, they watched on TV the Battle Dome Tournament, where she noticed the resemblance of Ash and Red with Arnold, suspecting that they could share the same father.

### Fuchsia Tag Tournament Arc

Anna and the children watched the Fuchsia Tag Tournament, and seeing Ash and Red again, she continued to wonder about their potential relationship.

At night, a girl broke into her house to ask her questions about Arnold and his father. Anna was quick to notice the resemblance between her and Arnold, and eventually she confirmed they were half-siblings. Trying to keep calm to protect her children from a potential bad influence, Anna told her everything she knew, and the girl finally left in peace.

Break Evolution

**Break Evolution** is a concept from the TCG that has been adapted to fit within Pokémon Reset Bloodlines lore. A successful Break Evolution will give the Pokémon golden armor that makes it more powerful. This armor can also protect the user against some abilities such as Poison Point.

In the Resetverse, Break Evolution utilizes Infinity Energy to strengthen a Pokémon much like Mega Evolution and Z-Moves do. An advantage that it has over the other methods is that it does not need a conduit, ie. a Z-Crystal or a Mega Stone.

To perform a Break Evolution a Pokémon must use Infinity Energy to create temporary bonds with stray photons and harness them as a form of lightweight armor that enhances the Pokémon.

When a Break Evolved Pokémon clashes with a different form of Infinity Energy enhancement, such as a Z-Move, radiation is unleashed and there are other currently unexplained consequences.

Bloodliners/Heart

**Heart Bloodliners** possess the second rarest variety of Bloodline, even if it is also the most recognizable. A Heart Bloodliner has the potential to learn any non-Legendary move of a specific type, understand and control Pokémon of that type, as well as utilize additional abilities related to that type in question.

The ability to control a Pokémon is dependent on the willpower of the Bloodliner and the Pokémon being controlled. Legendary Pokémon are more resistant to this persuasion.

## **Additional Abilities Inherent to Specific Types**

**Fire Bloodline:** Has a higher body temperature than baseline humans.

**Ice Bloodline:**  Unaffected by cold temperatures, and can even touch a Nevermelt Ice with their bare hands.

**Psychic Bloodline:** Telepathy and mind manipulation. They can also use their powers to scry the area around them. This range can be increased by connecting with the minds of Psychic-type Pokémon.

**Water Bloodline:** Able to breathe underwater and survive great pressure.

After the battle ends, Ritchie asked Duplica if she planned to challenge the league. She replied in the negative stating she was more interested in the entertainment business than training, but that she would always be open to a rematch if he were to visit the House of Imite. To prove her other talents she then changes her clothing in the blink of an eye to turn into a female version of Ritchie, impressing the young man.

Guzma

**Guzma** returns in the Resetverse as the undisputed boss of Team Skull. Despite his coarse words and seeming indifference, he does genuinely care for the Team Skull Grunts, even going so far as to avenge the defeats of some of his subordinates.

Guzma has sworn off the use of Z-Moves.

He has made a deal with Lusamine to be in league with the Aether Foundation.

## History

### Battle Dome Tournament Arc

Guzma was woken up at the sounds of screaming Team Skull members. When he investigated, he found a Skarmory eating the team's cereal supply. In retaliation, Guzma had his Golisopod beat it up.

### Mewtwo Arc

Guzma addressed Team Skull, telling all the members that they were forbidden from selling their possessions to buy Christmas gifts for others.

### Year Two Unspecified Arc

Guzma was woken from his sleep by Plumeria, who had to deliver the news that two Team Skull members had been beaten up and had their Pokémon stolen from them. He then headed to Ula'ula Meadow where the members reported running into some strange people wearing white. There he encountered Cipher and got into a battle with Naps who used a Shadow Teddiursa. The battle was close, but when a rampaging Pinsir that escaped from a different Cipher Peon, interfered with the battle, they were able to defeat the Shadow Pokémon. This led to the Cipher members all making a hasty retreat.

Left with just the Pinsir around, Guzma then had Golisopod weaken it enough for him to capture it in an Ultra Ball. With his new capture, as well as the recovered Pokémon of his underlings, Guzma headed back to the base.

Guzma then phoned Lusamine and warned her about Cipher.

Some time later Guzma was called in to the Aether Paradise to retrieve one of his members, who had been causing a lot of trouble. When he got their the member gave him a small black stone, a fragment of ZZAZZ, saying it could grant great strength. When Guzma took it, ZZAZZ attempted to convince Guzma to go on a rampage himself. Guzma was tempted until ZZAZZ called him frail. In a fit of rage, Guzma then hurled the stone against the wall shattering it in the process.

Later a disguised MissingNo, interrogated Gizma about the stone. After answering some questions, Guzma left to head back home.

When a Cipher ship arrived in Alola, Guzma led a nighttime invasion of the ship and successfully eliminated or repelled the Orrean invaders. After completion he sent a confirmation of the success to Lusamine.

When Christmas comes around, Guzma once more warns his team about selling their possessions to buy Christmas gifts for others. When he is confident his message has been heard he allows everyone to play with the children of his Vikavolt.

Captain Crook

**Captain Crook** is a poacher who regularly supplies The Phantom with Pokémon. He rides around in a traditional pirate ship and is absolutely terrified of his client. His father was killed by a Flying Heart Bloodliner.

Captain Crook was responsible for capturing Mizu's family, but failed to capture her or her Krabby. He planned to take the captured Pokémon to another region where they are uncommon to sell them. He also planned to capture Mizu and sell her on the black market.

When The Hiker and Mizu came to free the Pokémon he had captured, he ordered his crew to fire their cannons at the black cloud hiding The Hiker's Golbat. Unfortunately, he was too focused on this task to pay proper attention to The Hiker's Rhydon drilling through the side of the ship's hull and the Golbat's Confuse Ray incapacitated most of his crew. However, one of his crewmates, Scuz went below deck and alerted Captain Crook to The Hiker and Mizu's presence below.

Crook immediately went below deck to stop them and fought The Hiker hand to hand. He was getting the upper hand when Mizu's Krabby pinched him in the rear, giving The Hiker an opening. Crook turns to attack the Krabby, but recognizes it as Mizu's and demands to know where Mizu is and when The Hiker refuses to talk, Crook releases his Pokémon. The Hiker's Pokémon intervene, but Crook manages to defeat the Hiker and grabs Mizu. Mizu, seeing no other option brainwashes Crook and gets him to set her down while they escape the sinking ship.

After the ship goes down and the crew swims ashore, Crook realizes he's in enormous trouble with The Phantom and polls his crew for ideas of what to do to prevent him from killing them. They crew spouts some ideas, but the plan they ultimately decide on is to go to the Orange Islands and tell The Phantom they're getting him rare Johto native Pokémon.

Brock & Lucy Gaiden

**Brock & Lucy Gaiden**is the fifteenth Gaiden sidestory in the expanded universe of *Pokémon Reset Bloodlines*. It was written collaboratively by Ander Arias and Fox McCloude and it's the fortieth sidestory overall.

Going through a deep depression over his parents' deaths, Pewter City Gym Leader Brock is having a huge drop in his battle performance, and has received warnings from the Pokémon League that the Gym will be shut down if this keeps up. On the advice of Solidad, he decides to attend this years' SteelixCon to see if he can somehow cheer himself up, and fate smiles upon him when Pike Queen Lucy, an attractive and talented trainer, takes an interest in him, helping him regain his spirit and bringing a new happiness into his life.

## Continuity

* This Gaiden sidestory takes place two years prior to the beginning of the main story.

Corey Oakton

**Corey Oakton** returns in the Resetverse as a powerful trainer who has battled Rainer a couple times in the past.

## History

### The New Timeline (Past)

Corey competed at the Indigo League Conference the year before the timelines merged and was the runner-up.

### Stuff In Between Arc

Corey attended a Pokémon Seminar on evolution on Mandarin Island. When the seminar was completed Lorelei allowed any trainers who were there to challenge her. Corey took the Elite Four member up on that and battled her Lapras with his starter, Bruteroot. Lorelei managed to defeat Corey without much trouble.

### Mewtwo Arc

Corey was one of the trainers who was invited to New Island. When the storm prevented the ferry from leaving the port, he made the trip on his Pidgeot's back. When Mewtwo challenged the final evolution starters, it was Corey and Bruteroot that fought Venusaurtwo. They had a better showing than in The Old Timeline, but they were still easily defeated.

When Mewtwo sent everyone back to where they came from, he wiped Corey's memory of the event along with almost everyone else.

### Indigo Arc

Corey competed in the Indigo League Conference once more. This time he met Dan in the Top 16 round, and lost to the Johto native thanks to Dan's Mega Ampharos.

Professor Ivy

**Professor Ivy** is a Pokémon researcher based out of the Orange Islands. She specializes in regional differences in Pokémon physiology. She is a member of the Pokémon Professor Association.

Professor Ivy leans towards viewing Bloodliners as a threat to be dealt with rather than regular people.

## History

### Starting Arc

Professor Ivy attended the 40th annual meeting of the Pokémon Professor Association. At this meeting it was revealed that Professor Ivy is suffering severe budget cuts like many of her colleagues.

### Lorelei Interlude

Professor Ivy hosted a Pokémon Seminar on Pokémon evolution. Many big names were in attendance either in person or via video call, such as Lorelei, Professor Rowan, and William Misaki Sonezaki.

### Indigo Arc

Professor Ivy was notified about the discovery of an ancient looking Pokéball. When Ivy sent her assistants to the island to collect the ball, they also came across a mysterious box. She then contacted Professor Oak hoping that her colleague may be able to discover the secrets behind the ball as he was more versed in this type of thing than her. Oak promised that he would send someone to go collect the ball.
