A Zeraora's Post-TF: Epilogue
"Mother nature hasn't been too kind to our little test subject..."
With all the feedback we got, we decided to make an epilogue trying to refine the style.
Just in case it wasn't made clear, some time has passed since last page

Okay so, basically almost everyone is on the run from her former colleagues. I completely forgot that not everyone would agree with her actions instead of just one guy and they would surely outnumber her and any of the other sympathizers who agreed with her decisions on the incident. Though it looks like living the Pokémon life isn't as free as he thought, though he could barely remember being human in the first place. It's interesting that he started to have normal hair among his fur as well. All-in-all I didn't think you guys would try to make an epilogue of this. Especially in a slight realistic style.
I've seen a YouTube video that explained that realism doesn't mean gritty and grim as much as "it makes sense in the context and reality of the story", so basically internal logic.
Good and logical consequences for the characters action. And that's a problem I have with a lot of TFs on this side of the community.
I'm happy that you enjoyed our effort x3

So much this, it's a pet peeve of mine ! People keep asking for a more "mature" take on Pokemon (which somehow got mixed up with "realism" in the Internet's hivemind, I guess kids doing kid things don't exist in the real world ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ), but when I ask them what that would entail the answer is "the same thing but now Team Rocket murders people with guns and sells hard drugs to kids" 99% of the time. That's just edgy, not mature.
You want realism ? Congratulation, you've disbanded Team Rocket after beating Giovanni up ! Now the second biggest fish in the pond takes his place because you're still left with hundred of thugs running free, and it probably all stem from some deeply rooted cultural, economical and political issues of the pokemon world that pushes thousands of young people in criminality instead of a proper job. You can't solve crime on the national scale by sending a lone cowboy kicking the crap out of one guy with magical creatures !
With that being said, I think the reason most people don't even try to introduce realism in their TF is because it's a fantasy. You could argue with reason that MC and forced TF into pets / servants are just murder / slavery with a coat of glamour, but nobody will care because they're just here to have a boner (◕ᴗ◕✿) Drawing parallels to real world issues and digging too deep in the consequences isn't done, not because people aren't aware of that stuff, but because it's not the point - the point is to be pornography for kinksters.
But hey, sometime you want more out of it. You want a complete and deep story even if the TF is still a key part of the appeal. And for that I'm glad that people with commitment to the craft like you exist ! The more diverse our availible art is, the better !

The problem with Pokémon is that it repeatedly kicks its own internal logic in the nads and is, at times, extremely lazy.
I won't bring Pokémon to the standard as Shakespeare, sure, but you STILL need to commit to the storylines you bring up.
Perfect example being (good) Pixar. You can have well-executed mature themes in children/family media. When you do things that way, the plot and story matures with its audience and only gets better; something that aside from maybe Gen 1, 4 and 5, the series doesn't really have.
That's why Gen 1 & 5, both narrative extremes, worked so well on a narrative level. It was about the journey and YOUR quest. Saving the world wasn't the priority; it just kept butted in and stopped your progress.
>Gen 1 had little to no story, except for the rival. Most the unexplained things were thought out but were hidden away in lore, which leaves a lot to the imagination without breaking suspension of disbelief.
>Gen 5 had the deepest story in all of Pokémon, I'd say. They gave us antagonist to completely contradicted the very concept of Pokémon battles, so the game would naturally cause clashing with them. Characters were reoccurring, had development and ACTUAL character arcs without slamming you over the head with boring text (*cough* Hau & Lillie)
The issue here is that, Pokémon is currently in that awkward narrative middle, isn't evolving with its audience and doesn't always learn from their mistakes.
Saying "it's a children's game" or "it's just fantasy" is mostly an excuse to hide and justify laziness and poor execution. Kids aren't dumb, but they can only get as smart as the media they consume.
Same with TF; just because you don't show everything, doesn't mean nothing is happening in the background. A great example would be the questions you asked in my Purrloin TF. I left those facts in the air intentionally for the sake of the viewer's imagination AFTER thinking about the setting and implications. You had your questions but it didn't clash with the narrative that was presented. In fact, I'd say it only made you more interested, am I wrong?
Oh boy ended up typing a lot, sorry.

I feel situations like this are unavoidable when it comes to True freedom. I always remember the choices that others took away.
The choice to steal, torment, and fight, are hindered for trust in strangers.
Time, effort, consistency, given away for respect, all this enforces itself, only if both sides of the agreement remain intact.
If one side of the trade tries to break the other side, the entire thing can collapse.
The scientists thought they could get away from this and run wild with the single choice available to them. But now they have to face the price for it.

Looks like someone discovered that he was a terrible hunter ! Acting badass can only carry you so far in the wild, where food has legs and run away rather than sitting in tin cans ripe for you to pick up :P
Also, as someone who speaks French, I think that's a lovely name she choosed for Braixen~
What a great epilogue overall ! I didn't know I needed it until I read it !

True that.
As for the name, it was way trickier to find than she thought it'd be; wanting something symbolic but not too generic, in addition of actually sounds fitting for a female.
Both Scientist dude and Braixen are from Kalos, so Felisha figured she'd at least honor that.
Thaaaank yooooou! Keeping on providing quality content the best we caaaaan!

If I might be so bold, I would even suggest you to use "Pardonnée" instead of "Pardonne". It sounds more feminine thanks to the "ée" and it turns the word into the female's agreement of "Forgiven" (as, in French, we make the agreement between a subject's gender and any adjective that describes them).
It's the same thing in susbtance but it sounds and reflects Braixen's character arc better I think !
(PS : I love the backstory behind it ! I usually choose names for my characters in story at random because I'm lazy :c )

I did think about that in all honesty at some point.
The thought process being as followed:
1. The grand majority of my audience is English speaking, and likely don't speak French, so the nuance isn't really all that lost.
2. Most people don't write, use and/or know how to pronounce accents, so it's less confusing to just drop it.
3. And likely the dumbest reason, not all of the fonts I use support accents. X'D
For an actual in-character reason
4. She hasn't actually been forgiven yet, it's more so a motto. Every time Felisha calls her is reminder for her to forgive this Braixen for what she once stood for.
Hopefully it'll sink in eventually.

This was a really refreshing and fun read. Nice to see work like this in this vein. Not a lot of it often anymore since a lot of the older crowd has gone to different pastures. Excellent emotional expression and color art. You have the slowness down in the pacing which counts a lot in liminality of character in the transformation genre.
Wow I can't believe it's been over a year since we worked on this and yet people are still reading or even enjoying this ;v;
Thanks a lot for the kind words. This was made around the time I was getting a bit disillusioned with TF and wanted to go deeper.
Frankly I'd say the Diethyl's writing aged great but my art not so much haha
I'd love to give this format another shot whenever I get the chance.
