This is a bonus document to give character information, simplified lore, and various pieces of trivia.
CHARACTERS:
Forces of Light:
Bronze: The Archivist.
Age: 14
Skills: Intelligence, debate, Pokémon battling, Mega Evolution.
Appearance: Up to you! (Dark hair confirmed.)
Personality: Bronze could be described as overly analytical, philosophical, and serious due to his upbringing. However, he has a strong streak of chivalry and honor, and will not back down from a threat to those who cannot defend themselves.
Jake
Age: 14
Skills: Pokeblock making, Pokémon battling, card trading.
Appearance: Much like he did in the game.
Personality: Early on, he was rather cowardly, constantly differing to Bronze. The time he has spent travelling has made him much braver, although he was swayed by Cypress's lies for a time. Currently in a unknown universe.
Tess
Age: 14
Skills: Z-Ring, Pokémon battling, Mega Evolution, medicine.
Appearance: Much like she did in the game.
Personality: Exceptionally strong. (However, this is less 'male-like' than usually pictured in today's culture, but more revolving around the use of her natural wit and skills to make logical statements.) Rather self-dependent, but not in such a way that she would reject Bronze or Jake's company. Currently searching for Jake through the Wanderer's Library. (Haha, SCP cameo.)

The Forces of Darkness:
Team Eclipse
Team Eclipse is a organization that believes that humans and Pokémon are not naturally at harmony with one another, and wish to create a new world to solve this problem. Once a small think tank headed by Cypress, it grew to a radical organization that revered Cypress, (or rather Cypress possessed by the Evil Djinn) as the promised coming of the Spirit-Force. (which is simply the influence of the Evil Djinn.) The doctrine against Pokémon battling was mostly discarded in place of bring in the new world.
The Evil Djinn
The big bad of Pokémon Adventures, this satanic entity had been wreaking havoc from the beginning of time. Imprisoned, then released at Anthien City. Contained once again. Is explicitly based of a literal interpretation of Satan.
Jonathan Rowell Cypress
A brilliant man, he wasted his talent in bringing about a new era of darkness. Is by far the most dangerous villain that the world has ever seen. Has all the characteristics of a villain, (amorality, chauvinism, general jerkiness.) although he experienced a rather traumatic experience in Hell, eventually permanently dying due to his own irrational faith in the Evil Djinn. (Note: After Cypress was resurrected, he lost all hope of being redeemed. He could only be resurrected through purely evil means, and could not repent of his actions sincerely. The 'gleam of humanity' that Bronze saw in his eyes was pure imagination.) Based off Nicolae Carpathia, so he literally is the 'antichrist' of Pokémon Adventures.
Theme song: Various.
Emrett
A powerful sorcerer that serves the role of a demonic false prophet for the regime of Cypress. Based on Leon Fortunato, so he literally is the 'False Prophet' of the book of Revelation and Pokémon Adventures. His main spiritual familiar was the demon Enamorus, who is told of in the Legends of Arceus. Theme song: Dreadful Peat Mummy boss track.
Henry
A admin. He has a Aegislash that has the ability to freeze and control others, although the repeated usage of this ability has eroded his sanity and morals. Brother of Eric. Injured in the final battle against the Masked Man by Neo Team Rocket. Requires a respirator. Theme song: Lethal Conflict: Underscore.
Eric
A admin. Had a rare black Arbok that was a Ekans in the Red, Blue, and Green chapter. Convinced by Red's actions to grow stronger in battling to defend Pokémon, although he became influenced by Cypress's psychopathic behavior. Brother of Henry. Theme song: Hijacked from Entry Point.
Tyler
A admin. Died almost after he was introduced. 50's. One of the first members to join Team Eclipse. Loves explosives. Theme song: Mindwinder (b) from Entry Point.
Linda
A admin. A quick-learning woman. Rather overconfident, terrified of Cypress. Theme song: Assault Complex from Entry Point.
Various other servants:
Some joined Team Eclipse out of free will, while other members of villainous teams in the past only joined to get a free ticket to the new world. Although having good intentions, it was easy for a member of Team Eclipse to rationalize atrocities, as the new world would destroy any infidel anyway.
This section will be devoted to trivia, and my future plans for writing on this site.
Where did you get this idea?
I enjoyed PBB, and wanted to merge it with Pokémon Adventures. I had been thinking about this for about two years before I found a good format to write it. It has rapidly expanded into only one story in a vast canon, with a full backstory, as told in the story Pokémon Adventures: Legends of Arceus.
PBB is trash! How can you write about this garbage?!
If you are thinking that, then I agree with you. PBB knockoffs today suck, and will get deleted in a week anyway. That is why I tried to keep it not as a storyline of the game, but rather of Pokémon Adventures. (Or Pokémon Special.)
What are you going to do now?
I will be editing Parts I and II, (better sentence structure, dialogue, details, fixing errors,) although the story won't be changed. After that is done, I will then start to write word-for-word adaptations of the Pokemon Adventures comics, with a small amount of edits to make them fit into the Brick Bronze storyline. (So, instead of having to go out and get the manga, you can just read the previous plot on my profile page!)
What is your favorite chapter in this story arc?
What Happens After Death, for the opportunity I got to write about Hell, and the Last Battle: Part VIII.
What translation do you use to read the manga?
VIZ, because it is the most available. (Although I know all about the censorship stuff.)
Is Hoopa Satan?
Yes and no. Go read a book.
If all the past villains, like Giovanni, Cyrus, Guile, Lysandre, etc were being somewhat controlled by the Evil Djinn, than why would he want the human race to be exterminated, as in Lance? Then he wouldn't be able to create the new world!
This motivation to destroy all humans stems out of two things: One, the lack of ability to see a use for them sometimes, and second, because if there are no humans, than the events of the Last Battle, where the Enemy is prophesied to be defeated by Arceus, could never happen. (Of course the Enemy is going to fail. You just can't put Satan in a boxing match with God, and expect him to punch God out.)
I want to see a ship! Can you make some references?
No. This story has very, very, very little shipping, except for Jake and Tess, which was already confirmed. Bronze was never the romantic, and if you need romance to make your story good, then you may have a problem with your entire premise. (Unless that is specifically what your story is about.)
What is Hisui? (Heh-SOO-ee?)
It is the equivalent of Hisui from Legends Arceus. I deliberately changed the name, to show that it was in a 'different state of imagination.' The people in this land, (or Sinnoh) had Arceus's spirit poured into them, and they saw vision and dreams. Most of the knowledge we have about the nature of Arceus comes through the ancient Hisuians manuscripts. The Logarians went into the north of the world to find the knowledge to craft a suitable prison for the Evil Djinn, and took a Hisuian back with them to help with the task. (This was the person who carved out the Bronze Brick, and also the protagonist of Pokemon Legends: Arceus. The full tale is told in my story, Pokémon Adventures: Legends of Arceus, which you should read.)
HOW DID CYPRESS GET THAT GUN?!
In the new world. Where else?
What is the history of Roria? It seemed pretty peaceful.
If you think that Roria is a peaceful, happy region, you would be wrong. All the places Bronze went were to the WEST of the Frostveil Mountains. The east...think Lt. Surge, Terramist Wars, barbarian tribes, land conflicts, yadayadayada...it has mostly calmed down, but the east was always tough and rough.
Some scrapped story additions include:
A boat chase in Alola. (reason scrapped: Never got around to writing it.)
Cypress capturing ALL the legendary Pokémon. (reason scrapped: too OP, and unrealistic.)
Team Eclipse waging a all-out armed conflict with advanced weapons. (reason scrapped: Overly violent for the PA manga, this is still a kids story here, outside of Cypress melting like Indiana Jones.)
The Pokedex Holders accompanying Bronze on all parts of his journey. (reason scrapped: It doesn't seem like something that they would do, and it was only compatible with some things that I didn't want to write.)
Red and Green getting married at the end of the story. (reason scrapped: I actually thought I was going to write this, until I phased it out. Red and Green probably get married, although not directly after the final battle, for heaven's sakes! Green being female, that is.)
Bronze participating on the raid of Eclipse Base. (reason scrapped: It wouldn't make sense that a noob Pokedex Holder would be asked to take part in a dangerous, massive battle.)
Various elaborations on why Tess's parents died. (reason scrapped: Unnecessary sentimental fluff. They died in a boat accident in the Lost Isles when Tess was a baby.)
Cypress and his cronies going into the new world willingly, like in the game. (reason scrapped: Due to the energy shield, it wouldn't make sense that the admins would be able to even get in, and Jake had to redeem himself by throwing Cypress in the portal like in the game.)
Silver/Giovanni dying in a confrontation with Cypress, although seriously stopping one of his plans. (reason scrapped: I definitely could kill either one off, although it didn't seem realistic that they would be placed in that state of going against Cypress alone.)
A more funny ending in which the Loomian Legacy characters appear. (reason scrapped: Seriously, brain? You already put a SCP cameo in, why that?)
Arceus giving a sermon. (reason scrapped: He kinda already did, and it would feel odd if God was bragging about himself, instead of one of his creations honoring him.)
Bronze fighting against Cypress in a Pokémon battle in the Demon's Tomb. (reason scrapped: Although the game did have you battling Cypress, the Eclipse Lord would easily crush Bronze in a battle. Even Red only barely beat him.)
Galar existing as a explored region. (reason scrapped: I explained it in a comment already! Go look for yourself. I got a cameo in, okay?)
As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and
bread for the eater,
so is my word that goes out from my
mouth:
It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I
sent it.
Thanks for all your support! Stay tuned for more stories!
