So, as Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans showed with its ending, the entirety of "Tales of Arcadia" was reset the morning when Jim Lake Jr. originally found and was chosen by the Amulet of Daylight. But instead of taking up the mantle of Trollhunter again, Jim chose to have his best friend, Toby Domzalski, assume the role.
While many of us praised the movie, it was all but unanimous that the ending was wrong. Sure, Toby proved time and again his own heroism an' all, but Jim's choice (or rather the showmakers' choice) felt not only wrong but also completely out of character.
So... let us explore how the new timeline might unfold had Jim, now armed with knowledge of the future, stayed the course and re-took the mantle of Trollhunter.

Absol is a rare Pokémon that lives in the mountains, away from civilisation. When it senses danger with its horn, it would leave its home to warn people of the impending doom. However, that usually leads to misunderstanding - that Absol is the cause of the disasters.
Humans, being foolish and impulsive, would assume that Absol is the cause of the destruction caused to many villages.
Even though Absol suffered under the impulsive nature of humans, it still leaves the mountains to warn the people - even if it meant being blamed for "causing" disasters.
This is the story of a young female Absol that learnt that life is cruel and unfair but no matter what, helping others is not an option - no one deserves to suffer from dangers they do not know of.
Absol saw the cruelty of humans - they murdered her mother mercilessly when she was only trying to help them. Follow Absol in her journey to help humans understand the true nature of Absol, the Disaster Pokémon.
