## Backstory

### A Lineage of Heroes

Joseph's family is quite heroic. His father, Adonis Marriott, was a well-known hero and rescue team leader in Etoilia before he mysteriously disappeared one day. His uncle, Sir Reinhardt Brunvald, is a knight in the Gallant Continent who has his own castle, protecting the needy and saving others. That's why he's always wanted to become the best hero the world has seen. Ever since his dad rescued him and some friends from outlaws when he was around 4, he's always looked up to him for that reason.

### Out on the Blacktop

In addition to wanting to be a hero, Joseph's always wanted to be a basketball player. All the kids, such as one bully named Jason never had faith in him for it though since at the time he was only a goomy, and goomies don't have arms. Obviously.

One day on the Blacktop at Damien Scolipede Elementary School in 2nd grade, Joseph expressed wishes about wanting to make it big in basketball. A couple of bullies, including Jason, didn't believe in him, and so they well, bullied him for it, with Jason threatening to take his lunch money. An Eevee would watch the altercation nearby and would come to Joseph to praise him for standing up to them. This Eevee was Miles Brunson, and he would later become a lifelong friend of Joseph's. The two bonded almost immediately, and would walk home from school together later that day.

On the way back home, Joseph and Miles would find a cave that would change their fate forever. Miles was reluctant to venture in, but Joseph was fearless. He ventured inside and found a glowing Sion Crystal with Miles trailing far behind. While Miles hid behind a rock, Joseph touched the crystal and it exploded, knocking Joseph unconscious. Miles would run home to get Joseph's parents where he slowly recovered. Unbeknownst to Joseph, this crystal would release a burst of energy that would surge through him, and would unlock his bending abilities. For now though, Joseph would be powerless.

### A Peculiar Invitation

A few years would pass, and Joseph would now be about 15 and evolved into a Goodra. He'd gone through some family ceremonies and met more of his family such as Alejandro Rodriguez and Uncle Reinhardt. At this point, both of his parents had now disappeared and he was living alone. Joseph with his clarinet one day in school and Miles at lunch, received a mysterious letter from a place called the Sky Temple. The Sky Temple ended up being about a week's long trek along with some friends he'd met along the way. The gang at the time would think about getting girlfriends on the way up to the temple. That's how they all passed their time.

Eventually the gang would make it to the foot of Mount Heaven, of which they started climbing immediately. The mountain was notorious for being harsh and hard to get to. It was a the proverbial first trial of many to go up. Hours later, Joseph and the gang were in the blistering cold snow, until they were ambushed by a group of outlaws cornering them into a nearby cliff. Luckily though, they were saved by a Mienfoo named Aila Hanako who was initially dismissive of the group. Aila would run off back up somewhere until the group reached nearing the summit. The clouds begun to mysteriously clear off and the air become much warmer. A red temple would eventually come upon the group, and they knew they'd made it.

### Tenure at the Sky Temple

Joseph and Miles would come to the Sky Temple and see a Drampa drinking his tea in the middle of the courtyard with Aila serving it to him. It was Sensei Yin, and he told them he invited Joseph up here because he saw potential in him, but first he needed to go through 3 trials to prove his worth. Joseph managed to successfully complete the three trials: A trial of dexterity, wit, and combat. Miles though was not so lucky, making it through the first 2, but not the trial of combat. Thus, Miles was forced out of the temple, and Joseph had to deal with an extended stay without his best friend.

Yin would eventually help Joseph unlock his powers of waterbending through multiple fights against outlaws down below the mountain. Joseph and Aila would eventually become quite close, with Aila eventually kissing Joseph, cementing the romantic relationship. A few days after arriving, a very spoiled and bratty salazzle would arrive at the Sky Temple. She was a bit upset at... something. Little did they know it was actually Dewa Silverheart's Ex-Girlfriend! Her name was Salsa Fuego, and she would eventually become a close friend of Joseph's. For now though, she seemed to be in constant rivalry with Aila.

A few days after dealing with the outlaws, now with new Salazzle and Mienfoo girlbosses, all the outlaws they'd faced previously would invade the great Silver City for a massive raid. Together, they'd stop the outlaw coalition in their tracks, and saved the city. This would be the first time Joseph would use his new waterbending powers as well.

Back at the Sky Temple, the gang celebrated. The celebration was short-lived however, as a new threat they had no idea of would arrive: The Zygardian Empire. Their war machines scaled the mountain in mere minutes, and Captain Cinder walked through the red doors leading into the courtyard with a smile on his face. He'd come here for something. Joseph and Cinder would engage in a big battle, with Cinder even mega evolving! But he was no match for Joseph and his friends. Cinder was defeated, but not gone. He was wounded, but destroyed a portion of the Sky Temple the gang hadn't known about. Yin was also apprehended by the mysterious conquerors. Beneath the Sky Temple was a hidden cave, which Joseph had never seen before. Little did they know this cave would house the Orb of Indemnity, a powerful object that would give the holder immense power, and was responsible for the Sky Temple's unique spiritual barrier. The Snow began to come hard upon the Sky Temple once the orb was removed by one Nikolai Anastasios, a Zygardian corporal who would quickly work his way through the ranks.

Joseph would eventually use his water powers to push the Zygardians off the mountain, but they got away with the orb. The snow was coming down fast, and Yin entered a state of meditation. Together, Joseph, Salsa, and Aila would meet up at the charred gate, vowing to stop the Zygardians and get the orb back. If they were to come back to harm anymore people, they weren't gonna have it easy. Thus, they formed Team Crystal, named so because of the Sion Crystals, a rescue team meant to stop the Zygardians, help the poor and needy, and ultimately save the world. For now though, Joseph had a lot of work to do.

### Beginnings of Team Crystal

Joseph would eventually get a base built in Rockport, and immediately he got down to business. He'd eventually attract other young pokemon in the fight against the Zygardians, including Miles who now evolved into a Flareon, but also one annoying dragonite named Jakob Tannehill, whom he'd begin to have an ongoing rivalry with. After a couple weeks of saving pokemon in need, Joseph and Team Crystal would eventually travel to the Marble Continent to stop the Zygardians. Who they found was Jakob, whom Joseph would fight in a battle. Jakob retreated after this back to Etoilia.

The Marble Continent was only a distraction for Joseph, so they'd then travel back to Etoilia to find Rockport on fire and in ruin. At the helm was Nikolai and Cinder, watching their work unfold. During the fight with Team Crystal, Nikolai would betray Cinder, stealing the Orb of Indemnity and absorbing it. This transformed the Galarian Slowking into a higher being, which led to an even harder battle that pushed Joseph to his limits. It would cause Joseph so much stress that he'd unlock his power to bend the air itself! He used this power to finally defeat Nikolai and banish him to the shadow realm. Cinder would truce with Joseph and Team Crystal and he bid his farewell to the Goodra for now. He wouldn't see Joseph again for a very long time. Watching Joseph the whole time was a mysterious masked pokemon...

### A Gallant Adventure

6 months passed, and Team Crystal grew exponentially. One day, Joseph and his friend Scout were walking around in Rockport until they saw what looked to be a Rowlet down on his luck. The Rowlet's name was Jean-Francois and he told them that he was the successor to a duchy far away on the Gallant Continent: Salsa's continent. Jean-Francois ended up being framed for killing his grandfather Louis, and he wanted Joseph's help to clear him out. Joseph told Jean-Francois that Team Crystal would come, and so he packed up his things for a long boat ride.

After a couple days, Joseph would reach the Gallant Continent, specifically the city of Strasbourg. Jean-Francois would lead Joseph to his family estate in the countryside, where he'd meet the Montblanc family. The Montblancs were the ruling family of the Duchy of Strasbourg. Jean-Francois' father, Emmanuel, said Joseph could only clear his son's name if he put his trust in them first. Thus, they'd travel by train to the neutral capital of the Gallant Continent, Rennebellement. On the train ride though, Joseph would encounter a group of hooded and masked assassins, which he and his team promptly defeated. Upon arrival at the capital, Emmanuel announced that they would be going to diplomatic ball with the Montblanc's rival family, the Duquesnes. Emmanuel, the Duke of Strasbourg, would meet with Henry Dusquesne, announcing a new era of peace. Unfortunately, the masked pokemon attacked the ball, and Emmanuel forced Jean-Francois, Joseph, and Team Crystal out. Emmanuel's soldiers were now pursuing Joseph and Jean-Francois. To them they were mere outlaws.

### A Familiar Stop

Looking for a place to stay, Salsa seemed a bit jittery when talking with Joseph. It was here she revealed that she was actually a princess! A princess-to-be of a small kingdom that sat on the coast by a volcano. For now, Team Crystal and Joseph would stay in Salsa's small kingdom. Something was off though, as all the residents were acting unusual and oddly friendly. They decided to investigate the business of one Enzio Cappelli, a chiropractor, fortune teller, and doctor Alakazam. After some digging, it was revealed Cappeli was a Zygardian, and so they quickly disposed of him.

Salsa would be coronated as princess, and would be gone for most of their time in Gallant.

### The Old Knight Reinhardt

Team Crystal camped out one day, but they were ambushed by some outlaws. Luckily they were saved by Sir Reinhardt Brunvald, Joseph's uncle! Brunvald was a knight you see, and so he took Joseph and his friends to his castle to stay for a few nights. Brunvald though, spent an unbalanced amount of time with Joseph, which he slowly became a little uncomfortable with. Nevertheless though, Joseph and Brunvald would decide to rob the Rennebellement Archives to prove Jean-Francois' innocence.

In the dead of night, Joseph and Reinhardt snuck into the Archives building in Rennebellement, finding info on Jean-Francois and the old duke Louis that would prove his innocence. The next day, a trial ensued between Team Crystal and the Montblancs. Reinhardt didn't care for politics though so he just stood outside the courtroom. After deliberation the jury found Jean-Francois innocent, although afterwards the masked pokemon returned and fought Joseph outside in the courtyard. Joseph tornado'd up to who seemed to be the head mask-bearer and removed his mask to reveal Jean-Francois' brother, Philippe! Philippe announced that he'd partnered with the Zygardians to take his place on the throne and to take over the continent with them.

### Journey through the Steppes and Deserts

With almost no sense of where to go, and only a reliance on a passing remark by Emmanuel, Joseph and the gang headed east towards the Steppes of the Great Jur'kin tribes of the east. In a mountain pass, Joseph and the gang would be captured by the Jur'kin and come face to face with their Khan, Chagatai and his son, Khulan. Chagatai was not happy to see Reinhardt again, as Chagatai had raided Reinhardt's castle years before and killing some of his men. Joseph tried his best to calm everything down, and eventually offered his blood as a sacrifice to the Jur'kin. The Jur'kin later determined that Joseph's blood was unique in a way, and so they came to him with open arms, and told him of a story passed down through millennia. Joseph ended up being the destined one.

Millions of years ago, there used to be a group known only as the ancients that once ruled all over Emera. The Jur'kin are the most direct ancestors of the Ancients still alive today. Chagatai told Joseph of a great monster awakening, and almost flooding the entire world. This monster would actually be Kyogre. It was the Jur'kin would tell Joseph that a prophecy of awakening was coming fourth, and that Joseph had to stop it to save the world. This and addition to Zygardians made Joseph think this was too much, but he still decided to go through with the plan. The Jur'kin told Joseph the vault of the monster was in the Maggadah Sultanate, so that's where the gang would head.

In the jungles of Maggadah to the far northeast, Joseph had arrived and came to the spoiled and belligerent Sultana, who refused initially, but after some deliberation, showed Joseph and the gang to the vault which housed Kyogre. The Zygardians would be fast on their tails though, and soon a battle would ensue for control over Kyogre. As tides around the world began to rise, Philippe took control and used Kyogre's power to fight off Joseph. Luckily Joseph used all the waterbending he could to finally defeat Philippe and the end of Zygardian power in Gallant.

### Infiltrating the Empire's Beating Heart

Upon returning to Etoilia, Joseph became a temporary synthetic burger frycook to earn some money, still being watched by a masked pokemon. Joseph eventually decided to track down this masked pursuer, which led him to a grove in the forest. The Pokemon took off his robes and it was revealed to be Joseph's father. In short reunion, all was revealed in an instant. Adonis actually trained under Sensei Yin, and he sent him a message telling him to train Joseph. Adonis had to go undercover because he was actually working for the Global Union of Nations (GUN), spying on his son, and the Zygardians' actions. To keep his wife out of danger, he also ordered Joseph's mother to flee to somewhere far away. She has not been seen since.

After some heartwarming rekindling, Joseph and Adonis would travel sneakily to the Smoke Continent, the homeland of the Zygardians. Jakob would also tag along after Joseph caught him sneaking on the boat they took. Team Crystal would hop off and sneak into the sewers underneath Darossban, the Zygardian capital.

Team Crystal would travel under the city to the base of the resistance, where they'd meet with the leader: Basil Vetrenoyedrevo. Basil would direct them to attack many different facilities to weaken their power just by a bit before launching an attack on the Imperial Palace.

Joseph and friends would then go to the Imperial Palace, but not before fighting Cinder and Head Scientist Anton Vasiliyovich. After forcing Anton to flee and defeating the robotically modified Cinder, Joseph and the group would face Zygarde directly in his throne room. The gang fought valiantly, but then Zygarde destroyed the ground and activated his supply of Sion Crystals, powering him up, and causing an explosion that would level Darossban. Zygarde would then amass the largest invasion force in the nation's history to go after Joseph in Etoilia.

Upon returning, Joseph sent out an emergency signal to all members of Team Crystal to rally for the incoming threat. In fact, he went to all radio stations to rally the entire country behind his back for a largescale defense. Zygarde arrived quicker than expected though, and in just a few short punches, turned nearby Mount Kronos, into a Kronos Crater.

Joseph and his father would travel to the crater to personally fight Zygarde themselves, while the other members of Team Crystal evacuated the townsfolk and rallied everyone else to fight against the soldiers. Joseph would push Zygarde to his limit, eventually causing him to kill Adonis right in Joseph's hands. Adonis fell into Joseph's lap, and this seemed to give him an unnatural power... the power of Spirit mode. The mega evolved 100% forme Zygarde would give Joseph a run for his money, but Spirit Joseph was stronger. He overpowered Zygarde, and used a golden spirit beam and spirit sword to defeat and kill him, ending his rain of terror forever. The day was won, and peace was achieved on Emera.

### Peace and Celebrations

A few weeks after Zygarde was defeated, Etoilia and the whole world basically rejoiced for Joseph and his friends. A ceremony was held in Astarion outside of the Royal Palace. Team Crystal and Joseph were adorned in purple outfits and given medals directly from the King and Prime Minister. Team Crystal was now on top of the kingdom. Streets and Astarion were renamed after Team Crystal members, and a statue was built in Rockport to commemorate their efforts.

Following multiple days of partying, Joseph decided to make a very difficult decision: He would disband Team Crystal, as he felt its work was complete, and the world was now a much safer place. The police system was revolutionized anyway following the Zygardian downfall, much like everything else in Etoilia. Both technologically systematically for Etoilian society. Each member of Team Crystal then went their own separate ways, but stayed in touch with each other above all else. Joseph and Aila would move in together in a house in Rockport, but they wouldn't get married quite yet. Joseph had other aspirations on the horizon...

### From Blacktop to Hardwood

Wanting more out of life, Joseph decided to declare for the draft of the new Etoilian Basketball Association (EBA). He was drafted 5th overall by the Rockport Stars, and while initially he started out slow, his basketball skills significantly improved to becoming a top scorer. His skills took the Rockport Stars to the playoffs where they would face against the Astarion Beedrills. The championship was hard, and the series was taken to 7 games, but Joseph ended up scoring the game-winning 3 point shot for Rockport, where the Stars won their first ring 121-118. Still, Joseph felt he needed more out of life despite his victory...

### Setting Sail to the Fairy Continent

Out of a burning desire to do more in the world, Joseph decided to pack his things and move on from Etoilia. In a tearful goodbye with Aila and his friends, he boarded the ship that slowly drifted out of the Rockport harbor. Now on his own, he would be ready to hit a reset button and start a new life.

After days of sailing, Joseph finally arrived on the Fairy Continent in Diamond Town. He stepped off the boat and proclaimed Diamond Town would be the place he would stay for the time being. First though, he needed work. Luckily, he found a flyer for an up and coming rescue team called the Twilight Travelers. He went to the Regret Cafe for his audition and a demonstration to the Travelers' leader, Dewa. Dewa was impressed by his powers and let him in. Unfortunately for Joseph, his very first mission would be quite a huge one.

### Fighting the Azure Midnight Cult

Just days after joining, Joseph would be thrown directly into the fire to deal with the Azure Midnight Cult, and to finally stop Azure Midnight from creating his new world. Together with Oz, Dewa, Anora (a saiyan), and the rest of the Twilight Travelers, they would infiltrate the Azure Midnight base and end the threat for good. This came with huge costs to Joseph though. Whilst fighting Kitsune Cantus, the form that Azure Midnight would take during the final fight, Joseph had pushed his spirit form to its limits, releasing a powerful punch onto him and playing a huge role in his defeat. However, this came at the cost of Joseph being knocked unconscious and put in a coma for 2 years following the defeat of Kitsune Cantus.

### Awakening in a Changed World

2 years after defeating Kitsune Cantus, Joseph awoke in Rosa's office dazed and confused. He found himself to have lost all of his memories and leaving only his ability to speak French. Joseph struggled to move his way across Diamond Town, but eventually found Dewa, whom he'd regrouped with.

A few days later, Joseph would face off against a new threat: The Violet Claw Pirates led by Xenia and her lackeys. After him and some other TTs captured Xenia in the woods, she challenged Joseph to a 1 on 1 battle in a village she had destroyed. After days of training and re-learning his moves, Joseph faced off against Xenia, and activated a temporary boost of his Spirit Form. This led to Sensei Yin appearing in a vision of his, and telling him the power to get his memories back lied in the Sion Crystals found in Mystery Dungeons. Thus, Joseph became hungry on the hunt for these Sion Crystals.

Whilst on the hunt for a Mystery Dungeon, he met a fittingly named Pangoro in the Falleluv Forest named Big, whom he'd soon develop a bond with. In the middle of Big and Joseph's conversation, Joseph found a strange paper on the ground, and upon touching it, he unleashed Daiki the Demonic Gengar onto the world. Daiki promised Joseph riches and glory if he went to his mansion, but he was too afraid to do anything. Thus Daiki would go and attack Joseph and a couple other pokemon around in the area. Big would try to fend off the ghost as best he can, and held Joseph in his arm as he ran through the woods back to Diamond Town.

### Raid on Oni Manor

Along with other Twilight Travelers, Joseph would decide to raid Daiki's manor with promises of riches. After fighting through several hoards of ghost pokemon and other enemies, he reached a strange coliseum where the 1v1 with Daiki would take place. Joseph's battle with Daiki was arguably the hardest fight he'd fought up to that point, and he did put up a really good fight, ultimately losing to the Ghost type. Dewa would later defeat Daiki basically singlehandedly, trapping him for the time being.

### Toppling the Oni Tower

Joseph would be back to fight Daiki again, this time raiding the Oni Tower. From time to time Joseph would continuously remark that Daiki's buildings were quite impressive and luxurious, despite what he's done to the Twilight Travelers. This time around it wasn't too different from the Oni Manor, with Joseph not being able to defeat Daiki. This time though, Joseph's teammate and friend Vincent would stop Daiki, unintentionally trapping him in his mind as he remained possessed for the next couple of months.

### The Summerstone Cave Expedition

After coming back from the Oni Tower, Joseph would venture into a mystery dungeon called Summerstone Cave along with a couple of his new friends like Oz, Dewa, Vincent, Cybele, and King Calyrex. In a vision, he saw that the Sion Crystals would be in this mystery dungeon and so they went. Over the course of the expedition, Joseph would fight through groups of Violet Claw Pirates and find smaller Sion Crystals that would help gain his memories back. Eventually at the end of the cave, him and his friends would face off against Demetrius, Nervatius, and Angelikos, (DNA) a hydreigon Violet Claw guarding a giant yellow Sion Crystal that Joseph would need to destroy. While his friends would keep DNA at bay and rescue Lucio the dj in the process, Joseph would finally destroy the crystal, powering him up into a spirit form and giving him his powers back. Joseph and his team made the decision to spare DNA, as he might have information on Xenia.

While Vincent, Dewa, Lucio, and the unconscious DNA teleported back to Diamond Town, Joseph, Oz, Cybele, and Calyrex would remain in the cave before the floor collapsed and they fell to an underground lake. In the lake lied a submarine belonging to the Alterra Corporation, which Joseph dove and investigated before he was attacked by a Leviathan. On the other side of the lake shore though was a strange looking door that Joseph decided to investigate. Using a flaming school that Oz found earlier, the door opened and it led to a crypt with a sarcophagus labeled "Captain Flameheart Sr." on it. Joseph accidentally leaned on the sarcophagus, releasing the spirit of Captain Flameheart, a ruthless skeletal ghost pirate that once hailed from the Sea of Thieves. Flameheart was initially grateful and offered for the group to join his crew, but they refused. Thus, hoards of skeletons would come upon them, but suddenly Joseph and the gang was teleported out by a mysterious woman named Belle. She told them that the time would come once they were ready for something...

### Suspicions of Vincent

Joseph would realize that Vincent was acting rather strange after the Oni Tower, so he and his friend Harry Robinson went to Dewa to try and come up with a solution. Joseph explained to Dewa that he thought Vincent was possessed by something, probably Daiki. It was a stretch but Dewa somehow believed it. Joseph had gotten the ingenious idea though to interview Vincent to boast about his achievements for a "documentary" they would supposedly work on. Joseph knew Daiki was quite full of himself, so he wanted to exploit that weakness. The plan never entirely went through though, and it ended up being just Joseph acting annoying towards Vincent, asking questions about video games and sports. Nevertheless, it actually worked, causing Daiki to announce his plans to everyone.

### On the Spectral Cruise Vessel

After instructions from Ika, Joseph and pretty much all of the Twilight Travelers would go to Daiki for another last fight, this time on his own cruise ship. Joseph would fight against many bosses, until after Undyne, he saw that his old enemy Xenia had been captured by Daiki. Xenia would give Joseph an ultimatum: she would help them so long as they found her crew in return. Joseph and the TTs would agree, and off they went through the cruise ship.

Perhaps on the very next floor, Joseph would come into contact with a version of Dio Brando that would kill Jotaro Kujo on the Qasr al-Nil Bridge in a version of Cairo, Egypt. As Joseph was knocked into a building by Dio, something awakened in him and he saw black and orange figure standing next to him. The figure told Joseph that it was his stand, and he needed to give it directives to help defeat Dio, who was using The World. In almost an instant, Joseph zipped back to Dio at basically the speed of a bullet thanks to his stand which he'd name "Black Summer." Thus, punching Dio to death with his stand, he helped advance the group through the cruise ship and onto the final fight with Daiki who was possessing Vincent's body. After a couple of more minutes of fighting, Joseph and the team would be successful in their endeavor. Xenia even got her crew back, but she left Joseph with the parting gift of stealing his wallet.

### Spying Fast Times around Diamond Town

Joseph wouldn't mind too much about the new police chief Lint Dyne running things in Diamond Town initially. Lint was currently investigating all around town about Joseph's friend Neon Red, and if she'd really murdered someone. For the times Lint showed up, he remained complacent with the old Lucario. Even when his then-new recruit Zuko showed up, Joseph took Zuko's gun that he'd given him and gave it to Klavier as more of a sign of respect. Joseph would come along with Klavier Gavin to the second trial of Neon Red and Sage Harpuia to be in the pews as Daiki-possessed Vincent would try to defend Red as best as he could. For some reason. When Neon Red won the trial, Lint eventually snapped and traveled to the Regret Cafe to try and destroy it, which Joseph helped defend.

### Attack on The Black Tower

After finding out Zuko had been killed when venturing to the police station, Joseph immediately notified the TTs and the police department about the crime that had just been committed. Joseph, along with Dewa and the other TTs, mobilized an attack on the newly built Black Tower that had been constructed by Matthias Dragonbane (then controlled by Puppeteer) and Lint. Another fight was held at the top of the tower as Joseph and his teammates fought the duo, with him using his stand power again. Luckily, the tower was destroyed and it soon collapsed as the group fell to the ground. Joseph would then receive notice that Neon Red and her pet chicken Chicharron had been killed by Lint.

### The Botched Beach Party

During a somewhat bittersweet beach party, Joseph would play around listening to Europop songs and talking with friends. All was normal until a mysterious buoy appeared from the water with a strange woman on it. It turns out this woman was Belle, and she came with a warning to Joseph about Flameheart's danger. She gave him a magic quill and paper that when he would write her name on it, she would be notified and come right over to the group. She also told Joseph and the group about the story of Flameheart, how she and other individuals banished him away from the Sea of Thieves, and how he ended up here.

### The Casino Climb

A few weeks after the tower battle, Joseph and his buddies would go to the casino that was nearby to Diamond Town, which housed a superweapon that Lint would use to attempt to destroy Diamond Town with. After a couple of other fights with bosses, Joseph and the gang would eventually arrive to see Neon Red on a floor, not wanting to be rescued, but rather to fight the oncoming group? As it turns out, Lint had captured Neon Red and Sage Harpuia, and Lint's torture of Red was too much for her to bear. With nowhere else to go, Red was forced to turn to Lint's help, joining his side in the process. As Neon White and Zero tried to persuade Red to come back, 04 and Chicharron were busy fighting her to try and get her back to the good guys' side. Unfortunately, these efforts were more or less in vain, as after Red seemingly came back to join them, Mecha Dewa killed her.

After a couple more fights, Joseph prepared a diss track for Lint, which seemed to have no effect on him. Joseph and Zero would do a number on Lint, pushing him to a second form. The group would push even further against Lint, shrinking his sanity yet increasing his power as he grew angrier. It was too much for Lint to bear, launching the group all the way down to the fountain outside, and initiating another fight. Dewa and Susie would fuse together using a fusion band, and that and other attacks would be the nail in the coffin for the insane Lucario.

### Across the Digital Landscape: Luna

A couple weeks after the Lint incident, Joseph would become embroiled in another situation, this time with Spark and Fark's world being under threat. Spark and Fark were electric jesters, and friends of Dewa, so he felt obligated to help. After helping destroy a GPA in the Diamond Town Shopping Center, Joseph, Dewa, and other TTs would go into a portal to Spark and Fark's world, Luna. Unknown to them though, someone else would go through the portal...

The gang met up with a Doctor Armstrong, a scientist who'd constructed some of the robots in Luna. Armstrong would tell them that a program called Clarity had taken over the world at its base of operations in a nearby tower. Clarity had all control over the GPAs, and it was up to the TTs and their jester friends to stop it. They climbed the tower, and after one of the floors, Joseph and Dewa were surprised to see an old friend: Salsa Fuego. Salsa had come to Diamond Town looking for something to do, and when she saw her two best friends involved, she knew she had to come along. At the top of the tower, Joseph and the gang would face against Clarity, defeating her, yet destroying the world of Luna in the process.

### The Vector 9 Attacks

A few weeks later, Joseph and Salsa would meet Vector 9 for the first time in the Diamond Town Shopping Center as he tried to destroy it. Vector wasn't going down easy though, as they did drive Vector off, it came at the cost of the lives of Phantom R and Neku as well as the roof of the Regret Cafe.

Days later, Joseph and many other TTs would raid Vector 9's base, picking off his lackeys one by one and causing a ruckus around the fortress. Rosa would eventually revive Neku. At the throne room, Joseph and the TTs faced off against Moira and Vector 9, with Moira being an unethical doctor from the Overwatch Universe that came to his side to conduct research in peace. The gang would continue to fight Vector 9 though, eventually defeating him and ending a large crisis that had gone on for almost a whole year up to this point. The work was done, except no, he still had to rescue Amber from Daiki possessing her. Amber had come along with the TTs to Vector 9's fortress, but she ended up sacrificing herself to not face Daiki, so she became possessed.

### Rescuing Amber

In May, 2026 Joseph, Bolter, Blitz, Oz, X, and Salsa would rescue Amber from being possessed.

### Fallen before Dissonastrife

A year after the events of Vector 9, Joseph would suddenly collapse on the Diamond Town cafe floor, and he was immediately taken to Flora's Clinic. Salsa called over Aila to investigate. That's Joseph's story so far.

## Abilities

In addition to regular pokemon moves a Goodra would know, Joseph also has some other peculiar quirks.

### Water Manipulation

Thanks to the Sion Crystal, Joseph has the ability to "bend" the water around him. Whether it be water from a nearby creek, to melting polar ice, to even the water in a drink, he can control it. He's also able to freeze the water, a perk he likes to use a lot in battle.

### Air Manipulation

Thanks to the Sion Crystal, Joseph can also control the air and wind current around him. He can create short gusts of air to boost him and give him extra mobility, as well as pick up wind speeds for that added extra power for wind turbines. One strange perk is that he can "harden" portions of air. This means heavily concentrating air in one point, causing incredibly fast wind speeds at that point which are so fast they are said to cause harm. That's how he's able to use "blades" of air.

### Black Summer

Black Summer is Joseph's stand, making him a stand user. It has the power to increase the speed exponentially of anything around him, such as a piece of thrown debris that can travel as fast as a bullet. He can also use this ability to somewhat make himself travel quicker as well, although this is more seldom used as it's hard to control.

### Spirit Mode

If under enough pressure, Joseph may be forced to go into his Spirit Mode or Spirit Form. In this mode, Joseph has access to spirit abilities which come in the form of yellow glowing spirit energy. He can shoot spirit beams, use spirit armor, and his favorite, a giant spirit sword. While this form is quite powerful, it comes with quite a cost on Joseph's physical health, as it can heavily drain it. If he overexerts himself with it, it could potentially be fatal. We saw the consequences of this exertion when he fell into a coma after using this form during the fight with Kitsune Cantus. He woke up from the coma with no memory of his past life, and only the ability to speak French. It took a special Sion Crystal to help him recover.

### Basketball Skills

Joseph is incredibly skilled at basketball. Although not a particularly useful ability in combat, it does make some of his attacks have some flair that can be hard to predict sometimes.
