(I made something dumb hehe)

Based this off of a headcanon I have that Volo’s parents dipped/perished while legend hunting and now he kind of laughs about it with people he’s close with (so just Gris basically) but Gris is from a really caring family so he’s like “wtf no don’t laugh you should be crying”

But the audio just fits the vibe (I made this instead of sleeping)

The idea of Giratina remembering the main character even after 130 years...

[robinaa]

there is something so comedic to me about the idea of Volo and Ingo getting together. smooch the guy who forgot god sent him there to stop you

also i just love the dynamic of someone so damn earnest swaying over someone who is extremely duplicitous, its cute

[mokadevs]

guy who has done some terrible things

PLA boys taking care of you when you're sick

Adaman 

the moment you feel something coming on, he’s insistent that you rest

he’ll continuously be warming soup for you

oh how he worries

but he puts on a smile and takes care of you to the best of his ability

he asks Mai to take on some of his duties/tasks so he can be with you at all times, and she’s happy to do so

but not before a slight argument about it

the cuddling will be nonstop

and you bet his and your Pokémon will be joining in

he keeps you SO warm

the forehead kisses are constant

he’ll even read/share bedtime stories with you if you’re willing to listen

anything you need, he’s on it

and once you feel better, he’s resuming his leadership duties

but he’s not taking his focus away from you

he’s got you by his side

“And don’t think for a moment that I’m gonna stop pampering you because you’re better… because I’m not.”

Volo

Volo is very much a wanderer

but when you’re sick, he’s staying put

he hates to see you in such a dreadful state

and he can’t bear to leave you until you’re feeling better

while you nap, he’s out collecting herbs and medicinal leeks 

he’ll make your favorite soup

and he’ll hand feed it to you

he’s a deranged; touch starved lunatic, so you bet he’s holding you at all times

his Arcanine will be your pillow (and your heat source)

and Togekiss is your entertainment

while he’s searching for herbs and leeks, he’ll also be hunting for little trinkets for you

because his poor, sick s/o has to have something special

this man has an ABUNDANCE of stories to share with you

and he’ll share ALL OF THEM, even if you don’t ask

once you’re feeling better, he’ll pack up and head out

you WILL be getting a kiss on the cheek (or lips) before he departs

“I’ll be back soon, y/n. If you start feeling ill again, I’ve left the recipe for the soup I made on the table.”

Melli

you’re sick, and Melli does NOT like that

he distances himself from you

and not just because of how gross you sound

but he’s TERRIFIED of getting sick himself

he’ll speak to you through letters delivered by Pokémon

and they’re very sweet letters

but once Adaman finds out that he’s ‘too good’ to take care of you…

you can hear that scolding from across the Diamond Clan settlement 

Melli will slowly approach you

and he’s absolutely disgusted

you can 10000000% tell that smile is forced

but once he settles in

he’s trying his best to help you

he’s hesitant to cuddle with you

but he assumes there’s no other choice

and once he feels how hot you are, he holds you a little tighter

since he’s here, he may as well be close to you

he apologizes for being rude, something he would NEVER do for anyone else

and he’ll send Pokémon to Adaman to request recipes for soups

you’ll probably end up making them yourself, though, because Melli can’t cook at all

he’ll learn eventually

once you start feeling better, Melli does indeed get sick

because he’s always running from illness, his immune system is a bit weaker

but you’re there for him regardless

“Can I have some soup?”

Since so many people like to ship themselves or their ocs with Volo, here's a fun headcanon I like to implement in other fandoms:

For every iteration/version or save file you have of Volo, that version of him is unique to you. And you alone.

Obviously this manifests in every artist drawing him in their own style, or writers giving him certain habits/ways of talking, but I like to imagine there's a version of him generated in that chaos of code that's specifically made for you <3 perhaps these little differences in detail bleed into the character and by the end creating your own version of Volo.

Also I'm a sucker for self aware tropes, it's kinda fun imagining the programming of the game taking into account every single choice/action/detail of the players and adapting it into a slightly different version of him.

headcanon time

In the real (modern) world, Volo would be completely fluent in Latin and every Halloween without fail he uses that to freak out the neighbors by saying creepy stuff in Latin. He makes it a point to say creepy stuff to really sell it

he was "exorcised" 5 times before the church realized he's just fucking with people

no, he didn't stop them from "exorcising" him and wouldn't stop them if they kept trying

More Warden Ingo Headcanons

Part two to my previous post about Ingo in Hisui, which you can read here.

Where Ingo lives: Ingo has a private hut out in the Coronet Highlands, sort of like the one Iscan has in the Cobalt Coastlands. That was where he was living after he was made Sneasler's warden and before he met the player character. He also has a hut in the Pearl Clan Settlement. That location in the Alabaster Icelands is where he stores the belongings he had on him when he first arrived in Hisui (namely, his other clothes, his apartment keys, his wallet, and his Xtransceiver, which has long since run out of battery).

He absolutely refuses to throw away any of the belongings he had when he arrived, even though his work shirt and gloves are full of holes, and he doesn't remember what the Xtransceiver is even for.

There wasn't much in his wallet except for some cash and his trainer card, which has his photo on it. When Ingo found his trainer card in his wallet, he was able to recognize himself as the one in the photo, but couldn't understand why he was frowning and pointing like that. He was all, "This must be me, but why am I making that face?"

The face in question.

Even before he lost his memory, Ingo didn't have much awareness about his facial expressions. Pokémon Masters shows that Ingo genuinely doesn't realize that he's always frowning.

After moving to Jubilife, Ingo sleeps in the building behind the Training Grounds. Zisu also sleeps in that building but in a separate room. (I don't ship them.)

He still sometimes goes to the Coronet Highlands or the Alabaster Icelands for warden duties.

Not so much a headcanon as an observation: A lot of the Pokémon in Ingo's team at the training grounds are the evolved forms of Pokémon you can find in Unova in Black and White 2. Magnezone, Probopass, Tangrowth, and Gliscor are all obtainable in Black and White 2. Machop and Abra, meanwhile, are obtainable in the White Forest, which is a location exclusive to White. Even though he has no Gen V Pokémon on his team, his team is still connected to Unova, and especially White version.

The Razor Fang he used to evolve Gligar was actually purchased from the Gingko Guild.

None of the human characters have ever seen Ingo cry or laugh. He has, however, cried in front of his Pokémon. Gligar, in particular, has sat up with him many a night as he cried.

Ingo had only met Volo twice before running into him in the Ancient Quarry while escorting the player character. Volo doesn't take his job as a salesman very seriously, but when he found out about Ingo, he asked the merchant who normally goes to the Pearl Clan Settlement if he could go in his place that week, just so he could meet Ingo.

Ingo never knew quite what to make of Volo. He seemed friendly enough, but some of the things he said were a little...off. He once commented to Ingo that there were certain people who might envy Ingo's amnesia because it would relieve them of their painful memories. Ingo responded that he couldn't agree; he would rather keep his painful memories because he feels hollow without them.

Afterward, Ingo wondered if "certain people" included Volo himself.

Still, Ingo is grateful to Volo for selling him an empty notebook, obtained from the Galaxy Team, which Ingo uses as a journal. Ingo had been wanting to keep a journal for a long time, and he really appreciated that Volo was able to get one for him.

Ingo has no idea that Volo is the one who opened the Space-Time Rift.

The first time Cogita came to Jubilife Village (during the crisis when the sky was blocked out), she actually caught Ingo's eye. Ingo was working with the Galaxy Team and the other wardens to keep people calm. As he passed by the Clothier (where Anthe works) he happened to see Cogita inside and was struck by her beauty.

It wasn't love at first sight or anything. It was more, "Wait, who's that? Oh, she's lovely..."

He was struck by a strange sense of déjà vu. After a moment, he realized her resemblance to Volo and figured that's where the feeling of familiarity was coming from.

In reality, he'd had a similar feeling of déjà vu when he first met Volo. He even asked Volo if they had ever met before, but Volo answered (truthfully) that they hadn't.

Of course, who Ingo was actually remembering was Cynthia, who he and Emmet had become acquainted with through her trips to Unova.

Basically, Ingo's complete train of thought when he first saw Cogita in the Clothier was: 1. Who is that? 2. Oh, she's lovely... 3. She seems familiar... 4. Oh, she looks like that merchant, Volo. 5. Yes, that must be it. 6. I've been staring at her for a while. 7. I should go.

Since then, whenever Cogita visits Jubilife (which isn't super often), Ingo takes notice. He doesn't follow her around or anything, but she has to pass by the Training Grounds to enter the Galaxy Hall, and whenever she does, he quietly gazes at her from the fence.

He has no plans to actually approach her. With the gaps in his memory, Ingo feels that he's "incomplete" as a person and doesn't think he has anything to offer her.

He's also worried that he may already have a spouse or romantic partner somewhere that he's forgotten about. (He doesn't.)

Cogita has actually noticed him staring at her. (He's not being nearly as discreet as he thinks.) She's not alarmed or offended by it. She thinks it's kind of funny. Cogita isn't the type of person to be surprised that men are checking her out.

pla hc no. 30

!!! big number!!!!!

Akari learned how to mimic other voice before being yeeted into hisui, and Rei uses this to full advantage.

"Akari, give me a starly call-"

"Akari I need you to mimic Adaman, Melli wont shut the fuck up."

"Akari, do me a favor and yell at Volo, use Cogita's voice."

Rei has Akari use these powers, for ~evil~

Akari also manages to mimic pokemon calls, which makes their survey work easier.

[trainer-from-unova]

I don't remember the plot of Platinum (and I don't want to read the Wikipedia because) maybe I'll replay it after finishing LA, but I was wondering why Giratina helped Volo but not Cyrus, and then I remembered that both Giratina and Volo both hate Arceus and also maybe Giratina was tired of humans after interacting with Volo

[volostan]

No but I think about it pretty often (the headcanon where Volo's -and Cynthia's- Spiritomb is born from the souls of the Celestica people)

volo meeting rohan's dad

[literallylyn27-02-97]

So guys I'm curious for potential fic reasons what is your hc relationship between Volo and Cogita? I personally tend to go with aunt.
