UUBL: Where Are They Now?

Mega Gardevoir was a beautiful and lucky Pokémon. It had a voice like a choir of fairies and was talented enough to learn things on the spot, and this allowed it to steal Mega Gallade's heart. It boasted about its relationship with its friends, which couldn't do much to it in retaliation, as it could've easily demolished all of them with its firepower. However, after coming home from a long day to see its lover once more, Mega Gardevoir found Mega Gallade in bed with another Pokémon, and it was none other than Tapu Lele. Mega Gardevoir's anger burned glistening hot, hotter than a million suns. Stunned but without shame, Mega Gallade explained that Tapu Lele "had better synergy" with it and Tapu Lele was "just an overall upgraded, efficient, and less constricting version of you". Mega Gardevoir, ashamed it failed to please its former lover, ran away to the middle of nowhere to reside. After boasting about its relationship with its friends back in UU, it simply couldn't show its face to them again after being humiliated. Ever since being cheated on, Mega Gardevoir has never had a normal life, though it never did beforehand thanks to Pixilate. Regardless, Mega Gardevoir only ever finds peace in complete isolation these days, where no one can consider it to be partners with them.

Staraptor was always a fan favorite of the crowd, especially for being a Route 1 Normal-type bird Pokémon. As a dominant fighter in the minor leagues, it was quick to become the best out of every other Pokémon. Part of its achievement comes from its duelist capabilities, as it would be quick to finish its opponent with a blow so swift it would hurt itself in the process, but luckily it heals up quickly afterwards. Reckless, you may call it, but it works. Some say it was the most non-Fighting-type Fighting-type out there. One day, Staraptor, tired of destroying opponents before it even blinked, decided it was time to join the big leagues. It was extremely excited to show its skills against the toughest of the tough; however, it was in for quite the surprise. Its first fight was against Chansey, one of the beefiest fighters in the league despite its motherly background. With its adrenaline rushing, Staraptor's first move didn't have so much thought put into it. It went up into the sky and dived into Chansey with all its might, honing in on the circular blob. Unfortunately, Staraptor didn't know the saying was go OUT with a bang, and it ended up KOing itself upon impact. The damage was so severe that it sadly became paralyzed for life, which is weird considering Chansey didn't even use Thunder Wave. These days, Staraptor looks back at his careless mistakes with regret, but at least it has a slick hairdo.

As a mere little Porygon, Porygon-Z always took interest in computers. In terms of intelligence, it was also always on top of its peers. Unfortunately, instead of utilizing its skills for good, Porygon-Z went on to become a rather dominant hacker on the web. It can penetrate even the strongest of firewalls through its great Adaptability to what it encounters. Even then, it can probably just blow right through it without much thinking considering its powerful programming thanks to its "software", and Z-Conversion, allowing it to strengthen itself to penetrate right through a website's or system's weak point. From its novice days to years after, it was able to reap in almost five banks worth of money from its hacking. What does it use the money for, you may ask? Bird seeds. How does it eat? I don't know, but it does somehow. Tired of its schemes, others have resorted to putting everything it their power to stop Porygon-Z, track it down, and lock it up, and they do succeed. Surprisingly, they never realized how ineffective firewalls were, so they instead used "steelwalls" and "rockwalls" (very lame names, but it seemed like a good choice then). Engineered by the finest Ferrothorn and Tyranitar, these antiviruses were put on every computer possible, stopping Porygon-Z and its shenanigans. Now, Porygon-Z sits isolated, locked up away from any sort of technology it could take advantage of. The closest thing that's "tech" is the toilet, and it can't even use that. Unfortunately for it, Porygon-Z will most likely never see a computer for years after all the hacking and wallbreaking it has done in the past. Perhaps it should've used a VPN.

Unlike the rest of the Pokémon here, Alakazam's life isn't really all that bad. It would never cheat on its wife, keeps its anger to itself, obeys the laws, and, most importantly, pays its taxes. However, it didn't seem to be completely satisfied with its life. Why? Perhaps it's the facade it must put up as Mega Alakazam. Everyone loves Mega Alakazam; in fact, it's a fan favorite among all children. Unfortunately, Alakazam just doesn't get the same attention it does in its regular forme. Mega Alakazam had everything to grab a crowd's attention: superb psychic abilities that triumph over many, the ability to gain the skills of others, and a pretty sick beard. To top it all off, it even has five spoons. Wow! Upon reversion, however, Alakazam loses all of that in exchange for the ability to hold items other than spoons. Alakazam was determined to make itself known over its Mega Evolution, but nothing really worked. Hell, it even tried boxing; in fact, it was pretty good at countering its opponent, but not much else. Even things it can do easily in its Mega forme are a struggle; for example, when it tried competitive ice cream eating, its speed to swallow and ability to attack as much of it as possible in a bite was lacking without its three extra spoons. Alakazam was salty for a while about its other forme grabbing more attention, but it did eventually realize that it was a silly thing to be mad about. Besides, its life was already swell in the first place, so why change it? So, Alakazam continued to live its life normally, with it occasionally coming out as Mega Alakazam to entertain those that enjoyed its facade. Perhaps UUBL does have some light in it.
