BadJokesLucia Fuck it, the Celia playlist:

//Of course Pokemon has voice acting. When you do a roll. Or Rotom saves you after you parkour into a fall from a fatal height, which should honestly be fucking up your shoulders. Or a Pokemon tries to murder you despite your own moves doing absolutely nothing to opposing trainers.

"...An age without technology isn't something I need to bother worrying about." Crystals are ejecting from the tree. Growing... Growing... Terastallizing... Growing... Tall, thin crystals with a metallic reflective quality are drawing the electricity into the ground. First Corrosion, now-

"You all have horrible taste in lovers and I pity you. Happy couples explode." Hey, Celia said the thing.

...Reina said what was convenient to let her have everything she wanted. When she was asked to keep her word, she refused. It may have been a freeze up at first, but she never made an attempt to fix it. She just kept making excuses until things fell apart without her input anyway. She never took-

BadJokesLucia Just saying, there was actual significance behind this fuckin' thing.

Celia has always been the odd one out. She's never felt like a part of the family. And the one who tried to change that? Nothing but a manipulator who lied to her face for the sake of convenience. So Celia doesn't have a reason to see herself as a Kingchester. ...Besides. 'Celia Kingchester' has-

Of course she feels superior. She simply is superior at this point. Everybody is against her because it either negatively impacts their insane goals, or because they are afraid of necessary actions being taken to improve the world. And those betrayals happened before things got this bad.

"...If we slam Wendy's face and shield together, will she take a screenshot?" ...The group of picnicking Celias are not as innocent as they were looking for a while... Something might still be a little different in their heads if they're having that line of thought, though.

And not everybody is capable of accurately assessing the condition of a tree. Where many would see a perfectly healthy tree, another may see that the whole thing is about to topple and damage something important. Celia can see that the Kingchester family is beyond saving.

This is more than one evil apple. This is a wholly infected tree. The tree could have been saved when only one branch needed to be trimmed, but now the whole thing needs to be cut down and burned before the infection spreads to other trees.

The whole family is an outright villain, a dangerous traitor, or potential fuel for villainous plots. The world is safer if they're all gone.

Nah. People nowadays recognize that the heroes are better off killing the villains.

And if they're worthy of being her friends, they'll understand that it was for the safety of the world.

After Celia's done purging her family, she should try to make some friends. If only for the sake of ending her record of being betrayed.

Huh... Celia was expecting something a little more Cyberpunk-ish. Towering computers, lots of neon, mysterious machines... Instead, she finds herself in a sandy landscape where her roots seem eager to just keep digging deeper and deeper as if exploring what she can't see. "...Celia, formerly of-

Celia was rolling her eyes. ...Was. She clearly wasn't impressed with more doubts about her methods. Once she obtains enough power, there simply won't be anything to oppose her. Nothing that could start a 'war' against her. ...But this idea of getting away from the city and being able to go all-

That Fire Blast is... Twisting. Compressing. ...No. It's being sucked into a single point by a distortion before Celia redirects it right at that incoming punch. "There's one thing you're wrong about. I'm not surprised when brute force doesn't work. Brute force is the result of planning repeatedly-

Context does not make it any less weird, unfortunately-

...Yet Celia seems rather unconcerned. After all... Something that big is a really easy target to hit. Her attacks stop for a moment as the crystals converge and compress into... A Mega stone? One which she pulls into her body, and- "It's time for you to come to terms with how outmatched you are."-

"Don't call me 'dear', senile old coot." The lights from Celia's Judgement seem to be growing more intense... No, there are more lights in general. She's pouring more energy into the attack, and she doesn't seem to be breaking a sweat yet. Seriously, how much energy does she have to work with...?-

There are four copies of Celia just making sandwiches around a picnic table in Paldea... How many copies of her exist right now?!

"Zygarde doesn't need to worry about Xerneas and Yveltal. I'm keeping them under control. ...Zygarde is already on thin ice with me. Make sure it knows not to test me any further." If Celia had taken over Kingchester Corps... Maybe things would have been peaceful, or maybe she'd be too busy-

Celia's just rolling her eyes. "If anybody can pull it off, it's me. My plans may be constantly ruined by interference from moron after moron, but one thing has stayed the same every step of the way. I am a terrifying magnet for power." Her plans fail... But that's why she's creating brute force-

"...If Kaori comes to hate me, so be it. This world being worthy of her is more important than me being worthy of her. When she reincarnates, when her soul returns to this world in a new body, the world needs to be good enough for her this time. Even if I have to become the subject of every-

"...Alright. Then I won't destroy the regions. I'll slaughter their gods and every other inconvenience they are to create, and then I'll consume everything for myself. There is no room for problem elements like them in a world worthy of Kaori." Celia will brute force her way through everything in-

"So you allowed yourself to be utterly useless at one thing she asked of you because of a different part of what she asked. Your judgement truly is useless." ...She's keeping that flame going strong. The heat needs to be maintained... Though it is starting to heat up the whole chamber of the-

"...Yes, you did. You had years to do something meaningful, but all you ever did was play the part of a silent stalker until it came time to make an obstacle of yourself. You were useless, then a hindrance, and now useless again. Your guardianship was the biggest waste, the greatest misplacement of-

"...This family was doomed the moment that man survived that day." A part of Celia has to question how things would have turned out if their father had died and mother survived. ...Probably better than this. ...A sharp crystal dagger is forming in Celia's hand, behind Reina's back. "The best-

"Your death likely won't solve everything, but it's one of many things that need to happen to reach true peace." Celia's walking forward. Things are finally going right. "...Apparently there's a clone of you? I'll need to find and kill her. And that man won't be far behind you." ...Are the two-

"So you knew after all... Yet you still allowed a snake into your nest." She's still keeping the Judgement going... Just how much energy does Celia have to work with? Yveltal is able to maneuver around and dodge, though it can't keep attacking Aleister like that. "Your Project Unity will never-

"Yeah, go figure. Go on a quest to sacrifice your daughter for somebody else's ambitions and you get people fighting against you." There's that distinct feeling of wrongness... Though Reina's the only one in the family to encounter it so far. But quite a few things are just... Wrong. For example,-

Reina's statements about Lavinia and Freya were... Something. Just enough that Celia would have had to formulate an argument, even if they didn't hold much weight. She openly rolled her eyes at Reina's claims to not be a manipulator, though. She was shifting her stance, just about to skip right to-

"Ah, this is going to be annoying to clean up..." Celia's... Jumping off of Yveltal and landing on a roof. Her staff is called out, and small crystals are summoned... The crystals glow and ignite into flames before zooming through the air, drilling through drones. "Anybody who hasn't run away by-

"...Is that... Damn. She's not staying out of this nonsense even after I killed and revived her. I guess I should have realized that she's not very smart... But we can use her as a distraction. Dark pulse, Yveltal. We're taking down the Crown tonight."

"A crashed limo... And there's the Kingchester Crown... Ready to kill, Yveltal?"

"...Well, I guess Lumiose is on high alert after seeing Yveltal, even if I have them under control... UGH! They're probably going to close the battle zone tonight as a safety measure now..." ...Celia is certainly dedicated to getting those Rank Ups, at least...

And... There's one of the doors to the city. "...How far South did they go, I wonder? ...We may need a view from the sky." Aaaaand she's calling out Yveltal... Inside the city that got fucked up when she woke it up the first time... And just ignoring the screams of terror as she climbs on...

"...I wonder if I'll have enough time in the battle zone to rack up the points for a ticket after killing the Kingchester crown tonight?" She's... More bothered by the idea of getting delayed in reaching Rank X tonight than she is by the idea of finally facing her father in battle...

Another eye roll, but... There's a bright smile right after. "Your inability to form a coherent pun nearly got you drowned. Threaten him directly and his Machamp will snap your Machoke's neck while making you watch. Only then would you be finished off, after having time to regret what your got-

Celia's rolling her eyes. "Not what I asked." She is kneeling down and poking the cement, though. ...Her fingertip passes right into the hardened cement? And eventually it just... Pops apart, like a small scale version of a road buckling... "You're alive, for better or worse. Now after you tell-

The water's rising out of the canal... And just gently setting Celia down before returning. Great, she can control the water now... ...At least the boiling has stopped now that she's out of it? "...I don't suppose you saw what direction they went?"

Something white just splashed into the water... And it's suddenly boiling?! Though a Waterfall away from the heat(?) is sending that man back up onto the street... What exactly is going on...?

Cattail's ears are twitching... "...Hear something interesting, kitty?" ["Mrrrrrowwww..."] "...A familiar voice? ...Well that might delay my rank up." That's what she's concerned about...?

...Celia and Cattail really seem to enjoy the parkour setups to get onto the rooves... A cat being acrobatic is no surprise, of course, but this is a clear sign of what Celia would have gotten up to if she hadn't been held back by a sickly body. ...Are they planning sneak attacks like this?

"It's getting dark out... We'll have to see where the battle zone opens tonight, Cattail." ...Celia's Meowscarada is with this Celia, not the one at Mount Coronet? The hell is going on here...?

Celia beat up the Garbodor and wild Trubbish herself. She could take down a Legendary herself if she wanted to, so why not? ...Unfortunately, that means that some trash sludge was shot at her. That, in turn, means that there's a very cooked puddle of sludge that passed through her body...

"My Trubbish seems to love it here. He loves that nobody objects to him hanging around the dumpsters." ...Aaaaaaand there's Celia's Trubbish being chased out of an alleyway by a group of other Trubbish and a Garbodor. "...Minus the more territorial members of his species."

"...Why are some of these people holograms?" Celia doesn't mind spending almost a month beating up strangers to rise through the ranks. In fact, she's glad to have something to do that will give her steady, visible progress. But some people just being holograms is absolutely absurd to her.

"...So basically I'm supposed to assert dominance over everybody I catch inside the red borders at night? ...Alright. It would be handy to build a reputation for myself beyond creating massive crystal structures."
