oh?? other aus?? i am Looking? i am Looking Closely?

UBGIUBLB Well I guess I can try and explain one of them. (The drawings are kinda rushed so sorry) This is kind of a long one, so bear with me: I don't really know how to call it, but rn I'm just naming it the "lone bulbasaur au". Ok so Some backstory. During the war Squirtle and Bulbasaur were still pretty close. They weren't able to see eachother as often as before, but they would still hang out every couple of days. Since Bulbasaur was someone Squirtle knew and cared about before everything went down, he was actually able to have full conversations with him. He didn't usually say much, but it was a huge improvement compared to how he would interact with everyone else.

With all the planning during that period, Bluey and some others from the army ended up learning how to read and write with human language. Squirtle passed that knowledge to Bulbasaur the best he could, becuase if anything ever happened, it would probably be pretty useful to him.

Whiskers was able to befriend them at some point. Ever since hey joined the Caterpie Army, she had seen them as part of the family after all. With Bluey, that friendship had been pretty one-sided, but he did trust her somewhat, all things considered. She ended up actually becoming pretty good friends with Bulbasaur, though. Whiskers would keep him company whenever Bluey couldn't. Things weren't good, but in Bulbasaur's perspective, they weren't bad either. He really missed Charmander and was worried about Squirtle, but he figured that the worst was probably over. He just had to wait for this weird war to end so him and Squirtle could leave find somewhere nice to live. He just needed to be patient.

But everything changed when, one day, Squirtle just didn't come back from a battle. Whiskers told him that Bluey was just "out on a big mission" and that "he would be away for a long time". The story was strange, but since Whiskers was his friend, he chose to believe her.

That mission lasted days, then weeks, and with Squirtle away and Whiskers busier than usual, Bulbasaur started feeling really lonely.

But oh! Squirtle started sending him letters! Whiskers would deliver them to him and help him write letters back.

Things were starting to look up! Whenever Bulbasaur felt too lonely or sad a new letter would arrive and brush it all away. It was like magic.

It only lasted about two months, though. When they lost Whiskers Bulbasaur stopped receiving letters. The war didn't last all that long after that, and Bulbasaur was let go.

When he realized that Squirtle wasn't with the survivors od the army, Bulbasaur decided to pack the few things he had, including the letters, and look for his companion alone.

Present:

He's been looking for Squirtle for a few years now, but is still determined to find him. He ended up meeting the Sinnoh duo and now takes care of them. He tells both of them stories about his childhood and how "Oh you'll just love Squirtle once you meet him!", the kids don't really like this 'Squirtle' guy, because they suspect that he just flat out abandoned Bulbasaur, but they're mostly quiet about him. Chimchar's favorite stories are the ones involving Charmander.

Bulbasaur dislikes fighting, but was actually able to become quite strong over the years. He hasn't evolved yet because he fears that Squirtle will not recognize him if he does.

He's a pretty good dad all things considered, but his overly-positive attitude does annoy the kids from time to time.
