Terapagos' Hidden Power

Terapagos is the newest legendary Pokemon, introduced in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Indigo Disk DLC, the second part of the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero. While the story of Scarlet and Violet isn’t over yet as we’re getting an epilogue in January, there’s a scene in the DLC that I absolutely have to talk about as the lore implications are nuts. Obviously there are gonna be spoilers for Indigo Disk, so if you haven’t played yet then you should probably click off this post now.

After capturing Terapagos in the Underdepths of Area Zero, you can gain access to a hidden interaction at Kitakami’s Crystal Pool, noteworthy for its… well, crystal formations of Terastal energy. Upon approaching the pool, Terapagos exits its Pokeball and calls forth a cloud of mist and, seemingly, Professor Sada/Turo before retreating back into its ball. This naturally prompts a discussion between the confused professor and the player, but it’s a brief discussion as after a few minutes the cloud of mist closes back in and takes the professor with it. While I won’t be going too in depth into the conversation with the professor, I will be going into how I think Terapagos is involved with it and revealing a potential hidden layer of mystery and intrigue to this new Pokemon.

Sada’s/Turo’s Arrival

So naturally, the arrival of Sada and Turo is what needs to be covered first as it’s what reveals new aspects of Terapagos to us. First, many would be led to assume that this is actually Professor Sada/Turo as this conversation takes place at the Crystal Pool, a location that’s said to allow people to speak to the dead. However, I believe this to be untrue. Early on in the conversation, Sada/Turo come to the conclusion that they must’ve been transported to the future by some unknown force.

This wouldn’t exactly make sense, though. After all, the implication about the Crystal Pool is that those you meet there are dead, so why would this be any different? Even the Milotic you battle with Carmine is coded to have the Tera Typing of Ghost to further allude to this fact. The time machine can’t be at fault either as AI Sada/Turo explicitly states that those who travel through time cannot return to the present, which we see Sada/Turo do. But what if what’s happening here isn’t time travel?

Milotic

As stated previously, the Milotic you battle with Carmine to obtain the Crystal Cluster needed to fix the Teal Mask is coded to have the Tera Type of Ghost. This isn’t a hugely known fact though, as it’s only really viewable if you look into the game’s code (or look at Bulbapedia like I did). Obviously since I’m bringing it up, I think it has some relevance here. I find it odd that despite giving this Milotic a Tera Type different from its original type, it never actually undergoes Terastalization. I mean, why not? Wouldn’t that get the idea of “meeting the dead” across a lot better? Not to mention, we’ve seen the ghost of a Pokemon before in the form of the Marowak from Pokemon Tower. Well…

I don’t think that Milotic is dead at all. In fact, I don’t think it was even alive before you first approached the Crystal Pool with Carmine. “This guy must be an idiot, what could he possibly be talking about?”. First, rude, my feelings :(. Second, I actually do have some evidence to back this claim up, and it all lies in…

The Scarlet/Violet Book

Trust me, I’m gonna tie this all together, just stick with me here. If you read the copy of the Scarlet/Violet book in the Academy, you’ll find a section titled “Monsters of Area Zero”. It’s the section of the book that goes over the first discovery of Great Tusk/Iron Treads, as shown in the photo provided below.

(Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonScarletViolet/comments/zi7ef7/mysteries_of_the_scarletviolet_book_unlocked/)

So why’s this important? It’s simple, really. Quoting Arven:

“Wait, hold on... Isn't my mom's/dad's time machine the whole reason the ancient/future Pokémon ended up here in the first place? This book is from way before she/he made the time machine, but it mentions ancient/future Pokémon. Isn't that kinda...weird?”

Why yes, Arven, it IS weird! This entry basically confirms that the time machine isn’t what’s creating the Paradox Pokemon. Something else within Area Zero is creating these Pokemon from the “past” or “future” based on which game you play. I think the same thing is happening at the Crystal Lake with Milotic and Sada/Turo. That wasn’t a Milotic, and that isn’t Sada/Turo, they’re recreations of a Milotic and the professor made with Terastal energy. And who molded these recreations?

Terapagos and the “Time Machine”

Time to tie this all together with a neat bow. Yeah, there’s obviously a reason that Terapagos’ presence is required for this interaction to happen. It made the Sada/Turo that the player interacts with at the Crystal Pool, just like how it made the Paradox Pokemon originating in Area Zero. Yeah, I’m going as far as to say it also created the Paradox Pokemon. The “time machine” was powered by Terastal energy, the same energy used to create the Milotic, the phantom professor, and presumably our Koraidon/Miraidon. The idea might strike some as odd, as if it’s not a time machine, when what is it?

While it’s hard to say what it is for certain, we can make some inferences on its true identity. Like I said, the whole machine is powered by Terastal energy, which I’m theorizing has the power to create entirely new organisms. The most difficult part to intuit is what it creates organisms from, but I think I have a pretty solid idea: imagination.  Think about the first Pokemon that was pulled through the machine. Koraidon or Miraidon, depending on the version of the game you’re playing. These Pokemon are meant to represent past and future versions of Cylizar, as stated by their dex entries:

Koraidon’s Violet Dex Entry: “This Pokémon resembles Cyclizar, but it is far burlier and more ferocious. Nothing is known about its ecology or other features.”Miraidon’s Scarlet Dex Entry: “Much remains unknown about this creature. It resembles Cyclizar, but it is far more ruthless and powerful.”

And what Pokemon was Heath, someone who you could say Sada/Turo idolized, prominently shown with in the Scarlet/Violet book, a volume which the professor admits is precious to them in their conversation with you at the Crystal Pool? Why, Cyclizar, of course!

(Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonScarletViolet/comments/zi7ef7/mysteries_of_the_scarletviolet_book_unlocked/)

I just can’t see this being a coincidence whatsoever, the choice to give Heath a Cyclizar while making both box legendaries past and future forms of it just feels so intentional. The Paradox Pokemon having been created during the original expedition makes sense as well. Before they had ever seen a Paradox Pokemon, they had been researching the regular Pokemon they were finding in Area Zero, and given that they were scientists it’s natural to assume they were most likely theory crafting what other kinds of Pokemon could live down there. It was only after a couple days of descending into Area Zero that the team encountered their first Paradox Pokemon. This could even explain why the Milotic at the Crystal Pool had a unique Ghost Tera Type; meeting the dead at the Crystal Pool is a common folktale in Kitakami, and the Crystal Pool is full of crystals of Terastal energy, just like Area Zero.

So, let’s wrap that neat little bow on all this. Terastal energy is clearly some form of creation energy, as it’s been shown to create not only the Paradox Pokemon, but also Milotic and even a duplicate professor. We’ve only ever seen this form of creation occur in two places: Area Zero and the Crystal Pool. Terapagos is stated to be the source of the Terastal phenomenon in it’s Scarlet Pokedex entry…: “Terapagos protects itself using its power to transform energy into hard crystals. This Pokémon is the source of the Terastal phenomenon.”

…and the interaction with the professor at the Crystal Pool does not happen without the player catching Terapagos. The “time machine” is really a machine that brings Pokemon from your imagination to life, and the Crystal Pool shows you terastal energy copies of those who have passed away rather than genuine ghosts. With all that in mind…

Terapagos’ Hidden Power

The true power of Terapagos, the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, is the power of creation. Be it replications of deceased individuals and books they held dear, or entirely new Pokemon that have never existed before, Terapagos can pull ideas from the minds of individuals and, using Terastal energy, will them into reality.

He is the sun, he is everything. MUST. PROTECT!!!

I forgot to post this.

But here’s a drawing AU of Kate as a Pokémon trainer in Pokémon Violet.

And her starter Pokémon/ partner Sprigatito/ Twig.

I plan to upload The gaming series of Pokémon Violet on my YouTube channel Olivia The Cat. And the speed paint drawing challenge video soon.

Stay tuned for that.

Kate is my persona/OC character that belongs to me!

Sprigatito rightfully belongs to Nintendo at created Pokémon! 

please tell me you guys also see it as well

Arven’s team!

The second to last team drawing! Felt like I got a little bit more practice this time since Arvin doesn’t have many ‘animal like’ teammates. I’m really proud with Mass, Stew, Chill and pepper’s design! Getting into the Headcannons they have spoilers for SV and small blood warning in the pic

.

.

.

Hcs:

Mass and stews both had gotten scars from the trip to area zero, Avren brought a backup Pokémon in case something went wrong.

Stew with pretty badly injured, but not as bad as Mass, Stew was always worried about him

Himalaya was caught by Arvin in an attempt to heal up Mass and Stew, Himalayan was still a Nacli at the time so he wasn’t able to do much but stabilize them

Stew healed up faster than Mass and became second leader while Mass was still resting

The whole team was thrilled when Mass started to get back on his feet again.

When a Capsakid, Chill pepper was just called pepper and her teeth were used to make spicy recipe for Arven

Calamari helps gave Avren ingredients

Now a Garganacl, Himalayan put salt on the recipes to make sure everyone is healthier! He also the resident healer now.

Stew gathers of berries and other items to be used in sandwiches or, a new thing Arven is trying out, curry.

Chower was planned to get eaten but he found the water stone and evolved-

calamari and Himalayan seem to really like each other!

So do Mass and Stew!

chowder and chili pepper are just… third wheeling I guess

That’s most of the headcannon I have for now! Arven’s team fell like it should have the most lore considering what all happened to the poor lad,, but next time, will be having the head cannons and team drawings for wolf’s team!

(which is actually my team that I played during the main game of Violet)

Penny’s team - Nemoma’ s team - Avren’s team (here) - Wolf/Amory’s team (tbc)

Nemoma’s “Final” Team!

(Warning for ‘blood’, it just berry juice dw)

.

.

.

.

gotta say, I love this design, maybe even more than Penny’s team (shockingly).

Hcs:

Nemoma never keeps one team for long, always switching in and out for a challenge. The ones here are her main teammates.

Many scars on them come from training incidents with the more feral/aggressive pokémons in the wild.

This team LOVES to battle, when they’re not battling while Pokémon, they’re battling each other in friendly combat.

Naruto and Todoroki are besties, meeting when they were in their first evolution stages.

Sakura is the most relax out of all of her teammates, but still loves a good battle now and then.

didn’t originally have names, they were given names by someone else.

Penny’s pets team design

decided to design penny’s eeveelutions cuz I do have Headcannons for them + want to get better at designing Pokémon.

Hcs:

honestly, feel that Penny would name her eevees. It was pretty hard to think of the names because I would have to insert myself into Penny shoes to see what names would fit right/what would be in character for her. Most of them she got while they were still Eevees and probably wasn’t going to evolve them.

The only ones that are related are sparkles, nightlight, and Ted. They all see each other as siblings though.

Sparkles is the most motherly one of the group, seeing the rest as family.

The ones that would do the fighting in my AU are: nightlight, Fin, Fir, Bolt, Ted, and of course, sparkles. I swapped leafeon for Espeon.

popsicle has a mutation upon a evolving, which removed the little glass hair thing(?? Idk how to describe it) but as an Eevee always had floppy ears and “weird” eyes.

Ted has strong psychic powers even for their kind, they are also intersex (which explains the they/them prns)

Minty loves socks and knock off candy canes off Christmas trees (kinda weird but we listen and we don’t judge)

and to end this off, sparkles has a child named glitters.

and if you’re wondering about their scar, that a story for another time-

Couldn’t resist making the star crew reindeer‘s as well!

individual designs:

(P.s: I think Ortega would start flying more earlier than the other reindeer because of his leg)

Area zero crew as rip-off Rudolphs!!

Since most of my stories are starting to get reworked have some Pokémon sillies as reindeer

Individual/design things

Wolf is an OC I made for my violet universe (which is kind of the merged into Scarlet universe), she pretty much didn’t change reindeer form.

Nemona design is simple yet I still really love it! I think I did well on the colors + incorporated her scar in there.

Honestly, my favorite thing about pennies design is her golden antlers! The antlers are docked/short because the bullies in this universe proceeded to break them so badly that they had to be removed.

Arven is the biggest out of all of them because he’s a moose/reindeer hybrid (which explain why his antlers are like that).

Here’s the speed paint as well!:

this probably has been done before, but poke-human au.

might make Arven and penny PH doodles later

Feel free to comment some constructive criticism :)

A bit off topic from my recent posts but I can't help it-

I went into this event with little thoughts for Rayquaza, I just thought it'd be cool to have a shiny legendary. He has grown on me, I actually love him so much, he's so adorable. His face literally looks like this :D

He's like a puppy, it kept flying around all playfully during the picnic, he has no thoughts, head empty. Derpiest, silliest, noodle dragon around

I just think he’s neat

My Ghost Tera type Mew, plus my attempt to draw a Tera Pokémon for the first time. Conclusion, drawing crystalline things is extremely difficult.

I have completed my Quark Drive hunt (a silly title for catching all the Violet Paradox pokemon)
