Old meme champion shenanigans

Alder may be my favorite Champion for his role in the story, but imo (and probably an ice cold take 😂), Cynthia always had the most presence of them all-- from her music and the way it builds your apprehension as you prepare to fight her, to her party (with several very hard to come by Pokemon like Milotic and Spiritomb, I think that makes her team more iconic), to her gorgeous design, to being the hardest fight among Champions. (Aside from probably the BB League gang, and idk if I really count them here since they're more like a school League rather than the region's Pokemon League.) They've tried making Leon canonically the strongest Champion, at least in the anime, and hyped him up a ton, but ✨no.✨ He's certainly not a bad Champion, but he's more like on Nemona's or Blue's level for me.

But she's immediately who I think of when I think of the "Pokemon Champion."

The two Pokémon Characters that I most desire to witness interacting are Red and Cynthia. Not because I want to watch them have a battle (though for the record I think they'd be pretty evenly matched) but because of everything else I think would happen. 

You see, both Red and Cynthia are highly respected trainers. They're pretty much two of the strongest trainers on the planet. Legends. Bastions of wisdom and valor. Their heroics are well known, and simultaneously mysterious. Pretty much anyone in universe would expect their meetings to be respectful and dignified. Surely these two great trainers are pillars of rationality. 

Ding Dong, that's COMPLETELY wrong. 

Red and Cynthia SEEM pretty reasonable in context. Red seems completely calm and controlled when compared to his counterparts, the hot-headed Blue and head-in-the-clouds Green. Cynthia SEEMS wise and mysterious because she shows up to provide exposition and leaves. But Red is the guy who decided to live on top of a mountain for months without a jacket just for kicks, and who has only ever spoken ONCE just to mess with someone. Cynthia goes on vacations to everywhere all the time for reasons that are unclear but seem to be related to archeology and summoning deities, and jumped into a wormhole to another dimension with pretty much no context. Both of them are absurdly powerful and as a result their internal sense of danger is completely broken. The horrors of both the heavens and the earth are known to them, and they survived it already. They both just wander around and actively seek out weirder stuff. (And considering their Pokemon continue to accompany them after all this, we can assume the Pokemon are just as nuts as their trainers.)

So my theory is that if Red and Cynthia ever meet, all semblance of having brain cells is rapidly defenestrated. You take your eyes off them for a second and they are already half a continent away. There's an equal chance of them spending the day petting baby pokemon at the daycare as there is them traveling back in time, summoning a God, and killing it. Heroes will weep. The Earth will shake. And neither Red nor Cynthia will be at all aware of what's going on outside their line of sight. 

Please let this be a thing.

What’s yalls favorite canon vs fanon depiction chat (from Twitter)

[trivial-writing]

I want to talk about the Pokemon champions. So let’s talk about the Pokemon champions on how well they would drive (family member bonus as well ;) )

Lance: drives a bit over the speed limit , but who doesn’t (at least in my area)? He is efficient at driving. Though, he only drives when he’s forced to. He normally rides on Dragonite to get places. When doing G-men stuff though, he’s reckless and goes way past the speed limit. I mean, have you seen the red gyarados episode? That car almost tipped over. Honestly with how he drives, many of the G Men think he used to be a race car driver. Some of the G Men, who of lower status than Lance, made a bet about it. Lance doesn’t know about it yet is the thing because they don’t want him to tell higher office about it.

Clair: the epitome of road rage. It’s not her fault everyone is stupid. They just turn when it’s not even their right of way. It’s not her fault that that guy crashed into her because she was driving so fast! Even though she drove 65 in a 50 area. Drives like Lance because he taught her, but drives way more recklessly. Puts out the middle finger when slow people are… well, slow. Gives the elder heart attacks all the time.

Wallace: he’s pretty good at driving. He drives a bit slower than the speed limit. Whenever people ride with him, they always complain about how slow he’s going. He has a lot of road rage and talks way too much. This may or may not be the reason why he drives like an old man on a Sunday morning after church.

Steven: takes way too much from his father. Very punctual. Sometimes has road rage, but catches himself. When he first started out, he gave his dad a heart attack though.

Cynthia: ADD driver aka the very opposite me. She does everything under the sun when driving. She does her hair, eats, calls/texts people on the phone, does makeup, etc. She gets distracted a lot. She has so many close calls. So much so that her s/o (for me Steven) just lightly suggests that they drive instead. Cynthia doesn’t have road rage though. She just has a good time. When someone walks up to her about her driving, they immediately stop when they realize who’s driving. They freeze and just nope out of there because no person would square up with a garchomp unless they have a death wish.

Cynthia’s grandma drives like Wallace, but slightly faster. That’s how slow he drives.

Alder: does not drive.

N: refuses to drive because of harmful pollution, and he’s scared of engines. He hates going at high speeds because he doesn’t like to hit any Pokemon. It’s just a bad time for him.

Iris: in the back seat of any driver’s car egging them on to hit anyone she sees. She is a chaotic child. No one can tell me otherwise. When she can drive, she immediately got her license revoked. However she illegally drove anyway. It got so bad that the police called Drayden to pick up his granddaughter.

Drayden: pretty good driver. Has minimal road rage. It’s only when people drive recklessly and put the lives of others is when he rages.

Diantha: always in a rush. She drives way over the speed limit, but everyone else does in Kalos, so she gets a pass. She’s an angel when driving. She knows all the road rules, even the rules that don’t even apply to her region. She knows because if she needs to go to another reason for work reasons, or if she needs to visit her s/o who lives in a different region (Lance for me personally). She’s known to be Little Miss Perfect on the road. She also has to drive Sycamore to the lab ‘cause he caused a gas truck to explode ‘cause he crashed into it.

Kukui (does he count? I’m gonna say he counts): reasonable at best. Burnett drives primarily though.

Hau: way too nervous to drive. Gets a phone and asks Hala to drive for him.

Hala: careful. Not much to say here. You can tell which characters I have the moat brainrot for.

Leon: good driver, terrible at actually going to the proper destination (who could’ve guessed). Sonia is terrible at driving, so she just tells Leon where to go.

Hop: once he does drive, he drives Leon places for his mom and dad.

Geeta: uhh??? She’s too much of an enigma to me.

Nemona: does not have eyes on road. Too focussed on battling. She sees powerful pokemon, battles. Will stop in the middle of the dang street just to battle anyone or anything.

Kieran: pre ogrepon is scared. Post ogrepon, menace on the highway. Carmine has to drive him or else everyone in Blueberry Academy is dead like Lucario in Mystery of Mew.

That’s it. Have a good Pride month.

An AU where various characters get random “diverse” attributes added to them to see how it affects their canon character arc.

I gave Red crutches, but I got all the other character changes by bombarding my mutuals with questions, asking them to list characters in various different categories like “rival” and “Professor”.

THIS IS NOT “FIXING ART”. I LOVE CANON DEARLY. I’M JUST SLAPPING SHIT ONTO THESE CHARACTERS AND SEEING HOW IT CHANGES THE STORY. THIS IS FOR AN AU.

This all started because I wanted to see how it would change/recontextualize their stories and character traits. Red doesn’t have a personality so I just went with whatever felt right.
