comment
An irritated Pokémon might tell you to stop what you're doing. An irritated animal will probably just attack you. Pokémon, for all their power, would be open books and a breeze to care for to any competent animal handler on Earth. After a fiery death, a professional zookeeper who never outgrew Pokémon games ends up in the world of Pokémon. The entire world is thrown onto its side.Borne of Caution is a Pokémon Fan Fic by Fuggmann. The story can be found on SpaceBattles.com (here), Sufficient Velocity.com (here), FanFiction.Net (here) and Royal Road (here). It also has a mirror posted on Archive of Our Own (here) courtesy of Vibelordess with Fuggmann's permission.

Heroic BSoD: Lee has this response when Vulpix loses to Zinnia in Chapter 8, the logic that she'll be OK failing to break through the memory of failing to save a mauled lion cub back at the zoo.

Poor Communication Kills: The fact that Lee and Zinnia don't tell Brendan the full truth about Courtney allows him to develop a crush on her, which is returned, and for her to make a solid attempt of swaying him to her side.

Adaptational Villainy: Maxie of Team Magma. Showing a willingness to kill anyone in his way? Not surprising. But using a Claydol to turn his ace Camerupt into a meat puppet, forcing it to fight and even Mega Evolve past its limits? To the point where Camerupt tries to turn on Maxie the instant he gets the chance? That's far beyond what he was like in the game.

comment
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: The only genuine part of Octillery's behavior is his intelligence. Beneath his amicable and sociable mask is a creature of cold logic with a Lack of Empathy who looks down on almost everyone around him. His companions are, by and large, only a bother to him that have tempted him to go his own way more than once, and his only reason for agreeing to join Lee was to understand why Ninetales cared about him so much, because he wants to be able to counter it.

comment
Olympus Mons: In Chapter 16, going over the list of candidates for his team, Lee expresses some interest (though no expectation) of recruiting Latios or Latias. There's also a mostly scratched-out entry at the end of the list that's nevertheless obvious to any reader: the only Pokémon whose name ends in "-wo" is Mewtwo. Suicune is mentioned later to be one of the few Legendaries to ever have been captured, as well as Tobias' Latios.

comment
Face of a Thug: Lee has large scars on his face and a stoic continence, which makes him seem intimidating- not to mention looking like someone who's been in fights and highly experienced. In reality, those scars are the remnants of the event that sent Lee to Hoenn, and he doesn't emote much because strong facial expressions pull painfully on those scars.

 Borne of Caution (Fanfic) / int_658f7193
comment
Lack of Empathy: First shown in Act 2: Interlude 3, Octillery has been numb to emotions for most of his life, ever since he barely outthought and escaped from a group of vicious Water-type predators. He wears a convincing mask, but he's relied on the strength of his mind for so long that he can't comprehend the strength of the heart. Indeed, the chapter shows that the only reason he joined Lee was that when Ninetales told him how important he was to her, the numbness in his mind wavered for the first time, and he's determined to learn what caused it.

Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!: Courtney's reaction at the end of Chapter 2-20, when she's thoroughly examining herself for any indication that her mission could have been compromised. As she thinks over all of the facts, she realizes that in response to Brendan's Armor-Piercing Questions concerning the wisdom of a human having the power of Groudon, she wants to say that Maxie is the one who can harness the power. But she hesitates. She no longer has absolute faith in Maxie, and realizing that makes her realize that she's accidentally betrayed Team Magma.

The Reveal: In Chapter 70, we have two of these.

And afterward, Lee blows that revelation out of the water by finally telling Lee, Brendan, and their teams the truth of his origins.

Godzilla Threshold: Meteorfall Crater is a sacred training ground to the Draconids, and allowing outsiders to even set foot there requires exceptional circumstances. All three of the Draconid elders concede to allow Zinnia to bring Brendan and Lee there with the reveal that Maxie not only had access to Mega Evolution but was forcing it upon his Camerupt. Yet it seems Zinnia made one deeper request; Elders Juniper and Tanae are both willing to allow it, but Taxus, who only grudgingly agreed to let outsiders into the crater, requires further meditation.

Cliffhanger: Chapter 1-5 ends with Lee and Brendan finding that Oldale Pokémon Center is on fire, and they're the best chance of helping. This is after the previous chapter ended with Brendan informing Lee that they, as Lab Trainers, were responsible for law enforcement and disaster management wherever necessary. Interlude 1-2 ends with Ash learning that pretty much all of the Gyms he'd defeated, he'd done so while they were using teams that were deliberately weaker than their best, and resolving that he'll train even harder to be a proper Pokémon Master...and Lee feeling fate breathing down his neck. Chapter 1-14 ends right as the final battle of the Dewford Beach Brawl is about to begin: Lee and Zinnia vs Andre and Benjamin. Chapter 1-23 ends with Andre challenging Ash to a one-on-one battle. Chapter 1-28 ends with Courtney, incognito Magma Admin, taking on the Team Rocket Trio alone. Chapter 1's finale ends with Courtney joining Lee's group. Chapter 2-8 ends with a last-minute change in battling at Lavaridge Gym: Lee ends up facing Moore instead of Flannery. Lee's Logs 2-1 ends with Birch asking Scott if he can borrow Anabel. Chapter 2-12 ends with Corvi finally resolving to return to Lee. Chapter 2-16 ends with Lee rejecting Maxie's offer of leaving with amnesia, and Maxie attacking with lethal force. Chapter 2-17 ends with Corvi entering the seemingly lost battle against Maxie's Camerupt, and evolving into Corviknight. Chapter 2-29 ends with a (seemingly) chance encounter between Lee and Archie, boss of Team Aqua.

Laser-Guided Karma: In Act 1, Chapter 6, Brendan and Lee help with a fire at the Pokémon Center, which is soon revealed to be caused by a giant Manectric whose egg had been stolen due to interest in the giant's gene. Lee carefully pacifies the Manectric by returning the egg. Much later, in Act 2, Chapter 2, that same Manectric tracks down Lee to request that he raise the Electrike that hatched from the egg (though as he's already raising a Shinx, he suggests Brendan instead, which Manectric accepts).

There Are No Therapists
 Borne of Caution (Fanfic) / int_96fbeaf
comment
There Are No Therapists: Zig-zagged. There are therapists, and Professor Birch advises Lee to see one. However, once the scale of Lee's issues are revealed to Birch, he has to go back and find someone who not only can deal with the "Multiverse Theory" thing, but also someone capable of dealing with the extreme level of trauma that led to Lee's arrival in Hoenn. And even after that, the actual meetings with the therapist are not as frequent as they'd like, since Lee is still on the road and can only regularly meet up at Pokemon Centers. Still, once it becomes clear how his mindset could hurt his Pokemon, Lee starts attending once all the arrangements are made.

"Not So Different" Remark: In Act 2, Chapter 14, Ninetales and Corvi have this after the latter comes clean about his Dark and Troubled Past, and he realizes that for the first time, he's facing someone who can fully understand his fear of it happening again: not because it has happened to her, but because due to her much longer lifespan, it inevitably will. For her part, it's the primary reason that she moves past his offense of abandoning Lee.

This Is Gonna Suck: In Chapter 1, Lee quotes this verbatim before he yanks a shard of glass out of his side from the nuclear disaster. In Chapter 8, he has this reaction as he's coerced into a battle with Zinnia.

What Is This Feeling?: Revealed in Act 2: Interlude 3 to be the reason that Octillery joined Lee; feeling Ninetales's fervent affection for Lee, the numbness that he's hidden behind for most of his life wavers, and he's determined to understand what caused it.

Secret-Keeper: For Lee's origins. Professor Birch is the first one he tells, and it opens the possibilities for making his place in the world. Birch recommends a therapist, Mabel, who is psychically compelled to never reveal her clients' secrets. She and her Xatu are a massive help for Lee and Ninetales. Finally, he tells Zinnia, Brendan, and their teams in Chapter 70, blowing Zinnia's reveal of the looming apocalypse out of the water.

My God, What Have I Done?: Lee's reaction to his first battle against Brendan's Mudkip, a curb-stomp to the latter. He gets over it as he sees what he already logically knew: Pokémon are Made of Iron and made to fight.

The Gloves Come Off: After the battle with Team Magma on Mt. Chimney, Lee has this resolve when two things become clear: this world isn't a game or cartoon, and Maxie fully intends to kill them next time they meet. Shaken as he is, his hatred for Maxie crystallizes a new resolve. He reflects on how he's been making waves in the world already, and the chapter ends with this Badass Boast:

Be Careful What You Wish For: In Act 2, Interlude 5, a POV for Sylveon states that she had been cold and numb ever since the human she fell in love with abandoned her, and more than once she'd considered throwing herself in the fireplace just to feel something again. The next chapter, when Lee finally tells his companions everything, Sylveon surreptitiously maintains her empathetic contact with Lee when he orders her not to, and vomits at the memory of Lee burning to death.

 Borne of Caution (Fanfic) / int_b58642b1
comment
Trapped in Another World: Lee doesn't mind it, but considering Earth was destroyed in a nuclear apocalypse, he should be dead; he has no idea how he got to Hoenn, and no way to leave the new world if he wanted to. It turns out that he's not unique, either; "Fallers" are a little-known myth in the world of Pokémon. Zinnia has heard of them, but until Lee came clean about his secret, nobody could ever confirm their existence.

We Can Rule Together: Late in Act 2, Courtney reveals her secret to Brendan and asks him to join her. The fact that Lee and Zinnia have kept him in the dark about her for too long and the real friendship that the two of them have built leaves Brendan conflicted up until the conflict with Team Magma atop Mount Chimney, where he agrees to join Courtney. However, when he sees that Lee and Zinnia are about to die to Maxie, he decides to destroy the TE extractor and rejoins them. He tells Courtney that he only considered it because he wanted to be close to her, and turns the offer back on her.

Spiders Are Scary: Aasir, Lee’s trainer at the zoo, had no issues taking care of lions but could not handle spiders. Vulpix, later Ninetales, is less terrified and more disgusted, as shown when they see a shop in Lavaridge where Spinarak and Ariados are weaving fine clothes.

comment
Scissors Cuts Rock: Type advantage is a significant factor, of course. But it's not the most significant. In his modded Emerald version, Lee defeated Rock-type specialist Roxanne with only Vulpix. Later, facing Roxanne in person, he defeats her Geodude and Nosepass with Corvisquire and Vulpix. When Brendan gets his Mudkip starter, the pair of them challenge Lee and Vulpix many times. They always lose. Andre repeatedly challenged Brawley's Fighting-type Pokémon with his own Dark-type team out of some kind of inferiority complex, refusing to leave Dewford until he succeeded.

Crossover: One (probably) non-canon side story, "Borne of Divinity," shows Lee and Ninetales meeting Amaterasu and Issun in Nippon. Ninetales implies that it's not the first nor likely the last time that they've traveled to another world for Lee's work. Another side story shows them arriving in Konoha village for studying chakra.

Zinna also has one- Aster, her best friend and the previous lorekeeper of her tribe, died and passed on the role to her, leaving Zinna with a huge responsibility that she's not sure she can hold up.
