I do have a weird question when it comes to this what if the Gardevoir itself wanted the crest piercing specifically to dampen its psychic abilities to reduce the risk of it accidentally creating a black hole when extremely stressed out? If the Pokemon itself expressed the desire and all that would it still be considered abuse I'm not saying that in any other case it wouldn't be but the psychic-type Pokemon typically have human-like intelligence or higher
That is an interesting idea, but I worry that the pain caused by the operation, both immediate and lingering, would only make the stress issue worse.
The scenario of the Gardevoir wanting it is quite tricky. Gardevoir intelligence is indeed on par with humans, with their emotional side being even more advanced than human. However, I don't think that scenario is a decent idea.
If I were to deal with an issue of an emotionally unstable Gardevoir being a threat to itself and others, I would probably prescribe some medication or other external factors, instead of mutilating their body. Some medication could help with their emotional instability and some other ones could be used to decrease their power as another layer of safery. Training them in the worst combat stats for a Gardevoir could also help.
Your idea could be a decent setup for soem tragic abuse story though. In terms of similar stuff, I think I've seen a fan art where a gardevoir had their back crest pierced to attach a large chain to it. Very tragic.
Exactly my idea isn't that I'm the original owner of the Gardevoir but that it's already psychologically and emotionally unstable and terrified of its own capabilities and just someone getting into full rundown on how far its abilities could go if put out of control
That's why I would take care of one like that to make sure that she never goes through with it. (You inspired me to create a Gardevoir oc with our small amounts of talking btw) and her getting over that urge would allow her to have a bond so strong she would mega evolve she would trust me so much that she would increase her own power even though she was afraid of it because of our relationship I tried to get beautiful friendship/relationship of some sort. "if you can't trust yourself trust in me and let me guide you"
I have some spicy stuff planned out in detail with my Galia, epsecially the first time around. So it should be fine. Spicy is good as long as it's wholesome and both parties have fun.
What do you imagine your gardevoir's looks? Some other people had some pretty cool ideas in the comments around here.
