Chara Will Always Be Inspired By Undyne Even In Au's She Should Technically Not Know Who She Is - Blog Posts

For full res

To go with the last drawing I did (sorta based on the post-game/finale story that is Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky when the heroes find out it was Darkrai behind the whole thing between Temporal Tower's collapse and the Time Gears etc.

but the PokeTale Ascendance version of it.

I was discussing with a friend in my server, and I decided for my take that it's basically during the final fight with Darkrai, after learning he was the one responsible sorta for turning Chara (and Volo) into a Pokemon and what had happened to hers and Volo's siblings: Dialga turning Primal and losing his sanity in the future timeline/just starting to in the past/current timeline, and Palkia going into stasis along with Giratina (hence why they couldn't help Dialga when he lost his ability to control Time due to the tower starting to break, or completely breaking even, in the Future Timeline)

THAT is the moment when Chara finally transforms into a Gyarados, when Darkrai was about to do the final blow and kill/finish off Volo. Chara jumps in the way of the blast in the nick of time, and starts to transforms just seconds of taking the attack meant for Volo and she starts to prepare a Hydro Pump  and pay back the pain and sadness Darkrai had caused to so many other pokemon

------------

For anyone wondering why I decided Chara would be a Magikarp for my PMD au  is cuz magikarp is one of my most favorite pokemon(along with Gyarados) of all time, and Chara's my most favorite Undertale character (though Undyne and Sans are really high up there as well) but also cuz of the level 20 Motif with Magikarp  getting at its absolute strongest when it finally evolves, and Chara at LV20 in the Genocide route becoming 'strong' and capable of destroying a whole ass timeline p much with a single swing of her knife etc

and volo becoming togepi cuz thats his partner pokemon soo ye.

Also its volo who's Chara's partner pokemon since the PMD-verse is based on the games ver of PTA (and in that version of PTA it's volo who ends up basically being Chara's sibling sorta the same as Zero does in the anime version of my AU)

Which is kind of explained here in the description

For PokeTale: Ascendance

An AU based off of an RP between me and a friend of mine from my discord server discord.gg/pQf9ZsdF6E where the Creation Trio as babies (a time they all cant really fully control their powers and junk) accidentally create a portal into the Undertale Universe and meet Chara and basically Arceus finds Chara and adopts her after finding out about her shitty human parents and Chara ends up helping Arceus raise the babies and basically lives in the Pokemon Universe now
