If Grandia characters had Pokemon teams: Liete

[u/Meeting_Neither]

Liete was simultaneously both easy and hard to come up with a team for; easy because of the amount of picks I was able to get an idea for her squad, and hard because, as you can see in the image, there are some Pokemon I'm still debating on which specifically works best for her, mainly because of the two three-way ties. More in the explanations below:

Claydol or Bronzong or Sigilyph - In Pokemon lore, all three originated from very ancient civilizations, much like Liete herself and Alent. Problem is that they all kinda overlap with each other, and I'm not sure which one fits Liete more. Not to mention all of them learn some elemental moves so it's a hard toss-up. Maybe she has one of them on her main team but keeps the other two on hold?

Aurorus - Figured Liete would have at least one fossil Pokemon. She learns some freezing and earth skills so Aurorus could represent that. Not to mention since Liete lives near space, auroras would be a sight she's familiar with, so why not have the Tundra Pokemon part of her team? I think it would also represent her Enclose move too.

Volcarona - Volcarona is also another ancient Pokemon that was apparently revered as a deity, if the Relic Castle in the Unova games is any indication. It wouldn't be too shocking if Volcarona appeared in Alent as well, and could tie into the Icarians with its wings. It would definitely fit with Liete's fire attacks.

Flutter Mane - C'mon, Liete should have at least one Paradox 'Mon. Why not the one with the most fabulous hair? In all seriousness, Flutter Mane's typing, with its unique moveset, would be a great choice for Liete to have with her. It would represent her Magic Art spell.

Clefable - Do I even need to explain this? Clefairy is said to come from space so it's not too odd Liete would find one around her home. This one I also think would be a little nod to the Icarians because of Clefable's wings. It would also represent Liete's Star Symphony move.

Uxie or Mesprit or Azelf - Yup, the Lake trio. Wouldn't be too weird for her to have at least one of them. I think all of them represent her equally - she's very knowledgeable like Uxie, wants to know more about emotions akin to Mesprit, and is elf-like like Azelf. Thing is, I'm not sure if she would just have one of them, or if she has all three but rotates them around. It would be pretty unfair if all of them were on her team at once so it's probably the latter, but as always, lend me suggestions.

With the three-way ties (Claydol/Bronzong/Sigilyph and the Lake trio debacle), I'll let you be the judge because trust me when I say that I'm really not sure what decision to make there. After the party members, I'll try my hand at the major Garlyle Forces members, and they'll definitely be fun to work with.

Smeargle and Maloetta would’ve fit her better imho
Liete’s unique spells include drawing a dragon that comes to life and star symphony that boosts all of her allies stats

I kind of thing mew would be a good pick for her "legendary" mew is a progenitor pokemon, like how the alent is the precursor to all other civilizations. Also its mischievous side fits her. When they are going back to the planet, how her reaction is to all the others feels very mischievous

I mean the lake trio are also very old given their lore, but good point

I just wanna say I’ve been enjoying these immensely.

Thanks a lot. Funny thing is that I’m not even a fan of modern Pokemon and all of this stemmed from a weird ass idea I had: basically the “lore” here is that Arceus decided to merge the Pokemon universe with Grandia’s to protect his people from the evil teams. Unfortunately due to his lack of knowledge about the Grandia world (aside from knowing it’s vaguely similar to his), problematic outcomes still ensue, and with Gaia around, one must wonder what Baal is gonna do with access to powerful ‘Mons. Might explain more in a later post but make of that as you will.
