#Could be abreviated to TABTO AU though

[thoughtspeaker]

is it okay to ask about the Submas AU idea you had?? i kinda just wanna hear what it's generally about since it suddenly nagged at me out of nowhere.

I'm glad you asked!

Some context that may not make sense to my bringing it up until proper explaining: I've been headcanoning N as being autistic, much like how many headcanon the Submas twins to be(myself included).

How is that relavant, you might ask?

Well, assuming you know the original games the twins are from well enough, you should know that N was taken in by Ghetsis after being found by him, having been raised by pokemon prior to that. From there, Ghetsis worked to build him up to become the chosen hero to one of the legendary dragons(exactly which varying depending on the game, of course).

Well I had a thought.

What if sometime after Ghetsis finding N, he ended up finding Ingo and Emmet as well? A trio of children that he would take the opprotunity to try and mold into the perfect heroes for the trio of dragons.

Reshiram and Zekrom had already been proven to like twins, after all. That was why there was a legendary pair of them in the first place. Surely they would like a set of twins raised specifically to live their Truth or Ideal, right?

And so, raised and brainwashed by Ghetsis, Ingo, Emmet, and N all grow up as siblings(even if only the twins are by blood), each one having been told they had to be the perfect hero for one of the three legendary dragons. Emmet and Ingo had already liked dressing in opposite colors after all. Why not assign them the corresponding dragons to those opposite colors?

Emmet would be told to always follow his Truth. To always be honest with himself and others, regardless of their feelings.

Ingo, on the other hand, would be told to always work for his Ideal. To wave away other's truths if that was necessary to make his Ideal a reality.

And N? Well, he would be told to make himself open to others Truths and Ideals, just as Kyurem is known to be.

Of course, this also means Ghetsis needs to find all three dragons instead of just one, but... Well, he deems it no small sacrifice to use his time for that. Especially since it means nobody would be able to rise up with those same dragons to stop his plans.

...He's severely underestimated the power of a train hyperfixation spread through a trio of autistic children.

He's underestimated the way the things he's trying to teach the children will backfire on him when his plans finally begin to unfurl.

And more than anything? He's underestimated how much of his brainwashing can be undone over the course of just one journey made with siblings and rivals.

...That, and he has no idea that the Light and Dark Stones will be found by those he brainwashed sooner than he himself can acquire them.

Ghetsis will try to progress with his new plan regardless of all he doesn't know.

After all. Wouldn't having all three dragons be the best he could get for his plan? Surely all the frustation of raising the three children will be worth it. After all: Three Are Better Than One.
