#‘ohh but game balance’ I DONT CARE. I DONTTTTT CARE

[sieglinde-freud]

ohhhh if u say so… second gen pokemon au incoming 🫡 under cut bc uh. VERY long post.

okkk so all of this assumes the awakening characters were placed in the pokemon world and not vice versa… though. i will admit the thought of medieval fantasy owain running around with a pikachu does entice me a little bit. but thats not what i wrote down. another time maybe. also this is all from like. me three or four years ago mid pandemic suffering from two brainrots so if anyone has suggestions i am so down. i just like my little guys having little guys :) no time travel bullshit either what if they were all happy

ok so for lucina i gave her absol, dragonite, beautifly (THOUGH WE COULD SO CHANGE THIS TO YLISSEAN VIVILLON… ANON ILYYY), froslass, aegislash, and poliwrath :) i have a couple notes written down for everyone, so for luci… absol was definitely a gift from chrom. her first pokemon and she found it in the wild and he was like “are you sure… arent those things kinda bad omens?” but it was so cute she insisted and it became her best friend forever. she tried to grab her aegislash by the hilt when it was a honedge and it terrified everyone around her she never did it again. like how olivia gave inigo an oricorio egg (written with chrolivia in mind… lmao), i think she’d give lucina a dratini egg (SHE HAS A PINK DRAGONAIR. DO YOU HEAR ME) that lucina definitely evolved fully. absolutely the type to have a dopey faced dragon like aww. well on her way to becoming champion

for owain i gave him ampharos, alolan raichu, druddigon, carnivine, excadrill, and throh and if im so honest with you guys i do not remember writing down half of these. anyways this mf absolutely had a pikachu but because hes not ash, he evolved it. he had no idea it was gonna get a surfboard tail but by god is that not the coolest shit ever?! all of his pokemon are insanely protective of him (his carnivine did absolutely try to bite inigo’s head off once after a few jabs… they dislike eachother) and owain teaches them all cool battle poses. his pokemon all know pretty basic moves but hes renamed all of them (thunderbolt is now some shit like sky piercer 3990 from the ultimate heavens!) and he only did it to look cool at first but it is a legit battle strategy that throws off his opponents. kudos to him!

gave inigo primarina, oricorio, altaria, rapidash, breloom, and cinccino. he threw a fit when chrom caught lucina a cool pokemon and not him (he was like. three years old 😭 he did NOT need one) so when he WAS old enough, chrom came home with a pretty little fire horse for him. hes also ass shit garbage at type matchups so i dont think he battles, he is a performer :) or he tries to be. guy who vomits everytime he has to go on stage… he practices dances with them, but until he’s ready to join his pokemon on stage, he takes part in pokemon coordinating, which yes is STILL scary but the attention isnt on him so. he manages.

brady has a polteageist, audino, chansey, scolipede, stoutland, and mr mime. he and maribelle found a sinistea in the wild one day when he was little, and he cried so bad because he thought it was just a teacup until a WHOLE ASS GHOST game out of it. theyre besties now but maribelle teases him about it a lot. stoutland was his family’s pet but maribelle insisted he take it with him to keep him safe (he cried a lot that day too). he doesnt battle much but he’s taken part in a few contests alongside inigo and cynthia, though he secretly just wants to be a pokemon nurse.

gave kjelle mawile, mienshao, hawlucha, bastiodon, excadrill, and mudsdale and they are all female. she takes great pride in her girl power team. mudsdale was a gift from her mom but she. she cannot ride. dont even ask her she will not. when she trains her pokemon, she trains alongside them, and was sorely disappointed when she grew up and found out the trainer was not allowed to fight in battles either. alas. she and gerome are constantly battling eachother. his edgy darkness team vs her girlies. yes. definitely gonna become an elite four member one day but she’s taking her time.

severa has a milotic, tsareena, houndoom, braviary, hitmonchan, and a lycanroc (night form). her mom got her a feebas one day from fishing, and severa got so fucking mad because it was SO UGLY. but she as she traveled around with it, it grew on her, and it evolved she cried real tears. one time cynthia got her to compete in a contest, but she submitted her houndoom into a cuteness contest and got pissed when they told her it didnt meet their standards of “cuteness” (they were so wrong for that…). her mom currently has a seat on the elite four which makes her feel a bit pressured to live up to her battling talent, and she throws a fit whenever she loses a battle (which isn’t too often but when it does happen… 😬)

cynthia got galarian rapidash, goodra, manectric, tropius, sirfetch’d, and volcarona. she challenges inigo to rapidash races and wins every single one of them, horse girl that she is. she loves her sirfetch’d because he reminds her of her dad, but also kinda hates him because he reminds her of her dad (frederick!cynthia btw… hehe). she’s genuinely pretty talented at battling but in her eyes contests are way cooler because it’s just your pokemon doing a bunch of cool ass stunt shit!! are you kidding me?!?! do you know where her flower entrances would shine?!?! CONTESTS. but she’ll train with owain and severa when they ask. but severa gets kinda annoyed when cynthia cares more about looking cool than actually trying to faint her pokemon (embarrassing when severa loses…). is the most fascinated by mega evolution because what do you mean your pokemon unlock a new cool state only by having a close bond with them… are you kidding… she’s not too caught up on pokemon science but she bugs laurent for information on it when she can. her manectric can and WILL mega evolve (i didnt check if that was one of the painful megas… lets hope not!)

gerome has a salamence, hydreigon, zoroark, bisharp, noivern, and a trevenant. he is a frequent listener of whatever piers’ band is called. his team has a very clear weakness to fairy type pokemon and it bothers him greatly. it bothers him more that kjelle doesn’t shut up about it. it bothers him even more that inigo’s primarina could sweep him. he’s working on it. he typically travels on his own, not really because he dislikes other people, but his pokemon scare a lot of people off. the first of the group to get eight gym badges and no one knows when or how that happened (though, it’s pretty easy to get from city to city when half of your team can fly you anywhere you want)

had f!morgan in mind for this, and she got a camerupt, klefki, grimmsnarl, escavalier, beheeyem, and porygon 2. i didnt really take into account pokemon stats, but she absolutely tries to use trick room shenanigans. klefki has nothing to do with that though, that was a cute gift from robin and it was also a mistake. that fucking key disrupts their household so much… she loves it though. her pokemon all take after her a bit, being a little… mischievous, lets say, with camerupt basically being their only saving grace. she sees owain’s special moves strategy (read: “strategy.” he never meant for it to be a viable tactic) and starts to do the same. watching them battle eachother is… hard.

laurent got a vanilluxe, alakazam, rotom, delcatty, mismagius, and an umbreon. he’s not too into battling, he does more lab work than anything. his mom is a member of the elite four, but that’s mostly so she has an elevated platform to share their findings. still, being her son has taught him pretty good battle strategy, so he’ll do it for fun every now and then, and to test his own research. he has a rotomdex but its actually useful, being able to function as both a dex and a pokemon, letting him assess his opponent on the field (which!! is probably not fair!! but like… i dont think he cares). unfortunately that comes with a drawback of rotom being able to talk, which it does. a lot. more than it should. miriel caught laurent a misdreavus while on an expedition, and it is very dear to him (same hat?? SAME HAT!!). he also prefers special attackers, and he tells everyone it’s because special attacks are more efficient due to the lack of contact required, but that’s not true. he just thinks its cool.

i gave noire a banette, decidueye, shedinja, mimikyu, froslass, and golurk. she is an unintentional ghost type specialist due to the curses her mom placed on her—they’re just kinda drawn to her. unironically one of the strongest trainers here but you wouldn’t know it by looking at her. she’s kind of scared of all her pokemon, but they wouldn’t harm a hair on her head. she found banette when she was a little girl in a random ass parking lot, and it’s been her bestie forever. it beefs with tharja, but deep down, tharja was happy noire had a companion. she’s legitimately a good trainer, but she relies on severa for help because she’s always scared she’s doing something wrong.

yarne has a kangaskhan, buneary, whimsicott, dubwool, azumarill, and furret. his buneary does not want to evolve, so he will not make it! got an everstone and everything, but if it really wanted to it could (theyre best friends!!). he doesn’t like watching pokemon faint, so he stays away from battle when he can. he ends up forming an interest in pokemon care and breeding, which takes him a while to get used to all the strange new pokemon he has to work with, but once he does he’s pretty good with them. he spends a lot of time with laurent and helping him with his research and also making sure it stays ethical. sometimes laurent gets too much in his own head… inigo once tried to rope yarne into contests, but if you thought one guy with anxiety was bad, well. two does not make it go any better. no i dont know how being a taguel would work here dont ask

nah got a charizard, haxorus, tyrantrum, flygon, kommo-o, and kingdra and yes she did that intentionally. she loves dragons!!!! dragons are cool!!!!! her charizard has the X megastone and she now gets to shove it in everyones face YES HE IS A DRAGON. shut up! her and gerome bond over their mutual struggle with fairy types. all of her pokemon are way taller than her (i dont buy this shit about charizard being small. shut up) and it frustrates her a bit but it is quite amusing for her for her opponents to not take her seriously based on her appearance, only to be curbstomped by six gigantic dragons. she doesnt have much strategy, truly, she just overpowers the enemy until she wins. good for her! what’s a status move

my favorite thing about thinking about pokemon is that i eventually get to thinking “what pokemon would my fav guys have” and its so fun. i wrote out a bunch of teams for the awakening second gen like three years ago that i should probably fix but i know i gave inigo a cinccino but specifically one that pissed him off all the time by tail whacking him whenever he flirted with woman a la brock’s croagunk. his mother gave him an oricorio egg from her own. noire has a bunch of ghost pokemon and she is completely terrified of all of them but they adore her. yarne does not fight ANYONE he is a pokemon breeder. right? right. lucina has the most pretty beautifly anyone has ever seen ever
