    Summary

    A young boy finds himself in a big new city. After meeting a new friend, he might as well stick around here, he supposes. Even if it seems like the entire city is out to get him sometimes.

    Or: how Corbeau got on by himself before he received help he needed.

    This is essentially all canon backstory from ZA, so if you have not played and want no spoilers for his character, I'd recommend saving this for later!

    Summary

    Le Super-Tournoi de Jacinthe devolved from a mere brunch affair into effectively a day long prison sentence, completely derailing Corbeau’s schedule and exhausting him entirely. Still, ever the workaholic, he refuses to call it a night when he and Philippe are finally freed following the end of the tournament. Seeing his boss so agitated and unable to relax even after returning to the Rust Syndicate office, Philippe offers his service in aiding his boss in any way he can.

    Summary

    Eight years after the events of Opelucid, Colress has fallen into step with life in Alola. Working with Interpol isn't all that bad, really.

    However, new intel about movement in the underground of Unova sends him right back to his homeland - where he discovers a bit more than he bargained for in the basement of a colleague's lab. He might need some help.

    (This fic is me writing the two characters I still remember in B2W2 into some semblance of canon: Colress's brothers. Apparently they dont exist but I was convinced they did for almost a decade. They're now real and in this fic and also I once heard a friend say 'having a daughter wouldn't fix whats wrong with Colress but it would Dr. Doofenschmirtz-ify him' so I decided to test that theory)
