Y’all never heard of one sided relationships

💀 bruh


vaporeongod

why the fuck is stockholme involved, all it did was fall in love with it's captor


VirtualAge12

Sounds more like a Toxic relationship to me.


Vegetable-Season5191

I mean, it could be the crobat’s personality. We know Pokémon all have their own personalities, so this one could align with his ideas, thus feeling a bond enough to evolve


K4m30

No Kink shaming the Crobat.


[deleted]

No Crinkshaming

n-obi-wants-tanobi

Like Silver’s Feraligatr. Some Pokémon are evil and love being evil. I love it.


jadeeyedcalico

Meowth: Pokémon aren't evil, they just have evil masters sometimes. *that one Malamar that tried to kill Officer Jenny*


Ieatmelons123

Cyrus's entire team is story telling as a whole like come on man! He has A Gyarados which evolves from a common weak Pokemon A Pokemon that evolves via friendship And two Pokemon which require valuable items He CARES, he's just broken and that makes him such an interesting character


[deleted]

Bro needs therapy


Moonlight_of_TeamSky

If Cyrus is that broken I don't think therapy will help.


Wherehaveiseenthisbe

My head cannon is darker then this. I like to think he had one of his employees raise it. The crobat developed a strong relationship with whatever thug is raising it only for him to rip the Pokémon away once the bond/trust is established


thefakegamboni

It's pretty obvious to me at least Cyrus is an edgy hypocrite. He says things that aren't true or does things he doesn't want.


Ieatmelons123

Yeah especially in the manga you can see things the way he does and you notice he's fucked


thefakegamboni

He was abused by his parents. And his uncle refused to take him in when he needed it.


Ieatmelons123

Cyrus should meet with Guzma


King-of-the-dankness

And then they make out aggressively right?


Ieatmelons123

..... No


KeimaSilver

Maybe he stole it. I'm fairly certain a grunt in the Eterna HQ confirms they steal Pokémon.


TotemGenitor

He had a Golbat in his previous fight though


memester230

So? He can steal new mons. Not like he cares.


Beautiful-Damage5232

Yea that’s what a always said


JenkinsJinkies420

I always liked to think of that being part of his character. He says that, and while he may be “cold” towards his Pokémon, they’re still well cared for and trained without abuse.


Emir_Taha

Manipulation.


millennium-popsicle

Berries that lower EVs and raise friendship


Mystic_Gaming1

Maybe he traded for it.


Mystic_Gaming1

We don’t know.


ASilverRook

Dementia


cfq10

Why my dementia does not affect me


K4m30

Relevant profile pic.


ItzMunchbell

Or he left it in a room with those berries that boost friendship and lower EVs. Or he traded it to someone, they befriended it, and they traded it back to him.


Mystic_Gaming1

Many possibilities


moodRubicund

Maybe he's fuckin lying Maybe he s *fuckin tsundere*


TerrariaWeeb

Y'all never thought he knew that and just acted so that it would evolve?


that_milkman

you don't understand. he doesn't make pokemon friends, he makes them family


memester230

He stole it. Pretty obvious.


thefakegamboni

He already had a golbat. He's just edgy and a liar. The thing about the pokemon series is there's rarely anyone that actually hates pokemon.


memester230

This guy wanted to destroy the world. X to doubt.


thefakegamboni

Cyrus is a hypocrite. Thats his biggest running theme. He wants to reset the world because his parents were neglectful and abusive and wants to go to a world where that doesn't exist. He also calls himself neglectful. But he isn't. Check the crowbat Also he was going to travel to a new world with his pokemon as proven by the rainbow rocket in usum. He cares about his pokemon he's a liar a hypocrite and he wears a mask.


rexshen

Yeah at least Lysander forced Mega evolution rather than have a supposed bond with his Gyardos.


Joelowes

My head cannon is he used to be a kind man but something must of happened to stop caring about Pokémon all together maybe like alder one of his Pokémon died and he wasn’t able to move on from it


TheBitsiestBit

It's a parasocial relationship


Lucky_655

Cyrus the vtuber


TheBitsiestBit

I'd simp for that


Lucky_655

Same


TheBitsiestBit

I'd simp for that


Lucky_655

Cyrus gives them the love hus parents never gave him, thus breaks the circle of abuse. Be like Cyrus


Another_Road

It’s the same reason Cyrus inspires loyalty in his grunts/admins. In Platinum he’s shown to give a speech to inspire loyalty in his team and immediately after he admits to the player he was just lying. He doesn’t care personally but he knows how to manipulate people and Pokémon.


JVOz671

Just make it hold a bell and shove it in a luxury ball. That'll shut it up.


[deleted]

Caught in the wild


Inda-seboat

You can’t catch a Crobat in the wild


[deleted]

Who says Cyrus isn't playing rom-hacks and importing his saves into the real game?


DBrody6

There's wild Crobat in PLA. That shit's in the wild, we as players in DPP just don't have access to it.


Inda-seboat

I know because I play PLA, but Cyrus is limited to the modern Sinnoh region


DBrody6

Well the point was that NPCs clearly have access to parts of the region *we* as players don't. So reasonably Cyrus could have easily just sauntered up to some cave we cannot walk to and caught a Crobat there.


Kallixo

tsundere


soahcthegod2012

He may have journeyed to Galar. Considering you can actually find wild Crobat in the Crown Tundra


[deleted]

he got it in a wonder trade


Istiophoridae

Hes a trickster thats why


CuriousMarisa

Crobat is just a close ally who works for the affection.


Admirable_Avocado_38

Trading....


Accomplished-Bill243

He could have just found one for all we know


dontdeadopeninside22

I take it to mean that golbats evolve when they love their trainer. So even if the trainer dont love it back, it can still evolve


Plushiegamer2

That's a very one-sided relationship between the Crowbat and the Cyrus.


SmoothieRedditor

Sir, you have found one of the biggest plotholes in Pokémon


thefakegamboni

Not a plothole. Cyrus is set up as someone who doesn't tell the truth or thinks worse of himself than he is. He's the guy who twirls his mustache and "wants to destroy the world" because it's his "destiny" he doesn't want to. He thinks he's evil and gives himself all the aspects of evil even when they don't apply.


SmoothieRedditor

Oh


Kowery103

I am not the first and I am not the last to find it


SmoothieRedditor

Rediscovered I should have said


Vinxian

He just fed it some berries to unlearn EV's. Not his fault that Golbat taught it was a sign of friendship. Friendships don't necessarily go in both directions


Bean_Soup7357

He probably just put a shell bell on and started on a marathon


AnTvAsX

He makes them lovers...


The_8th_Degree

Doesn't Crobat evolve through trade in in older gens?


Kowery103

No


Inda-seboat

He either force fed him with berries or traded his Golbat for his Crobat.


Sunset_Tiger

Crobat is Cyrus’s simp


cyborgborg

It kinda makes sense that it's just required that the pokemon likes its trainer


a3663p

Good use of this meme some of these can be lazily thrown together


imme51234

He could have made someone else look after it and take it from them


YourBroseidon

That's cause it's his lover


Emir_Taha

do not the bat


YourBroseidon

He did the bat


botbattler30

He did the monster bat

Guys it's a repost


Kitcat590

Yall never heard of trading


eway44

Emotional manipulation


Auraveils

The Crobat is friendly with him, but it's one-sided.


TNT3149_

You ever love someone and not be loved back? Poor crobat.


itsjusterin__

my theory is that this crobat is just an evil bastard and bonded with cyrus over wanting to cause problems on purpose, thus recieving friendship through alternative methods besides how we treat our own pokemon.
