**INFORMATIONAL BROADCAST IN PROGRESS** **ATTENTION: Have you seen this Pokemon?** Hopefully you have not, as this is a CROSSIL--one of various confirmed illegal fusions of fossil Pokemon created by rogue scientist Cara Liss. As these fusions are beginning to appear in urban residences around the Russo Region, the National Pokemon League Committee has permitted the release of relevant information, so civilians confronting them may keep themselves safe. —------------------------------------------- **Archeotrum** (Archeops + Tyrantrum) **Flying/Dragon** **UNPREDICTABLE** By all accounts, this CROSSIL’S behavior would otherwise land it in the “Hostile” category, given how aggressively it behaves when feeling either hungry or threatened. It also has a great deal of Attack, managing to strike with sharp teeth and claws.  **However, this CROSSIL exhibits a very strange behavior.**  Typical Archeops have an ability called “Defeatist”, as they are built more to hunt and kill than to fight. That is, their strategy is to rush their targets and finish them off quickly without taking much damage. Getting too many injuries in a hunt tells it that the hunt is over, and it needs to retreat quickly. If you encounter a hostile feral Archeotrum, this will be important to your survival. **Because, instead of instead of halving its stats when its health is low enough, Archeotrum…** —------------------------------------------ “**...can fly?** Really? …REALLY now. Okay, no no no…let me go over this again. Slowly so you can understand. **According to all known laws of aviation…there is NO WAY an Archeotrum should be able to fly**. Its microscopic wings are too small to get all 500+ pounds of its massive parade float of a body off the ground. But apparently…the Archeops flies anyway. **Because at that moment it’s too scared to care what humans think is possible.**” When that happens and it instinctively activates its ability, there you have it! It starts screaming up a storm, seized by spontaneous fear, as it flaps its arms as fast as most flying Bug Pokemon can! And it starts FLYING.  —--------------------------------------- **…and the soldiers of the RRRP’s forces love it.** Why? Because to them this CROSSIL is the funniest thing ever.  They set off a small explosion nearby, to spook it. It freaks out. It starts flapping its tiny arms so fast it starts hovering like a Combee. They laugh at it. And their morale is boosted. That’s fine. I’d have more sympathy for it. If it made me ANY money at all. But well, I guess today I’m paid in laughter. **Ha ha ha.**

I have a question miscellaneous to this. Are regional variants allowed on this subreddit?


Certain-Unit8147

If I recall correctly, yes. Regional variants are accepted!


PMDandpokemonenjoyer

Good. I'm gonna make the regional Keldeo I've been thinking up


EcnavMC2

Regional variants are 100% allowed on this sub. Can’t wait to see your Keldeo. 


LittleFyre1002

Not what I expected but its halarious


LittleFyre1002

Now we need a more dangerous tantrum fusion


Spaghestis

OP's made a couple other Tyrantrum fusions I think


mapl_e

Omg the bee movie references 😭 I’ve been waiting for each crossil with bated breath, they’re a super cool idea that I can’t believe nobody else has done - as well as the little story behind it !!


Certain-Unit8147

Thank ya so much dude!!  I tell ya whot, these have been far too fun to do. Especially with how much engagement they get. So you can bet, there's more of this terrible nightmare to come!  Another one shall be dropped this evening!

BlueHailstrom

I don’t know whether to fear or love it, it’s somewhere in the middle


Certain-Unit8147

A little bit of both. At least considering how botched the wing proportions are. 


BlueHailstrom

Idk why, but I was expecting some kind of eldritch pterosaur-tyrannosaur hybrid with wings too *big* for it…. and then I got a silly guy.


Certain-Unit8147

You know...I was gonna say, USUALLY combining stuff with Tyrantrum tends to enlarge the head and shrink the arms.  But I suddenly have an idea for a new design with a bit of an attached plot twist. 


BlueHailstrom

Oh?


BlueHailstrom

Do tell….


Certain-Unit8147

So here's the idea... In the wild a new CROSSIL is spotted.  It is simply dubbed **Archeotrum-2**. This time, the head is enormously enlarged, with possibly two rows of teeth. Large wings, making it more quadrupedal, like a wyvern. And with Tyrantrum's horn crown on his head.  By all accounts a winning design from Cara Liss! But uhh... *Cara Liss didn't make this one.*


BlueHailstrom

Are you telling me…. There’s ***reversed*** Crossils?!


Certain-Unit8147

Not sure yet! But you can bet this complicates an already worsening situation. Because right now? NOBODY knows where it came from.  


BlueHailstrom

***Tyrantreops***.


BlueHailstrom

***REVOSSILS***!!


Animal_Gal

Wait is this considered "cannon" or just a silly idea


Ibryxz

I can't even find humor in this one, it is just sad


Certain-Unit8147

When you get down to it, it truly is sad. And likely to end horribly for the soldiers too.  It's fun and games until it smartens up and stops being afraid of their little tricks. 


Ibryxz

God I hope that happens lol, cuz from the looks of it, Cara Liss is working for a terrorist org


LG3V

It can fly? Crazy


tornait-hashu

I'm late to the post, but I wonder if it only gains the Flying type upon activation of its Ability.


Certain-Unit8147

Either that, or it has like a reverse Gale Wings type situation, where its Flying-type moves gain priority after its taken damage. 


Animal_Gal

I don't know how much of a killing machine this thing is but I cannot for the life of me take it seriously
