#and Ingo doesn't know what's going since Emmet doesn't want to talk to him and especially not about that

[ratwithhands]

School's done!!! I mean there's still like two random days I have to go back before it's completely over but I'm not getting anymore assignments!

Here's the drawings of high school Ingo and Emmet that made the advert and cover of my magazine culminating this semester. They also made it into the advice column for that project (though technically that was Ingo talking about Emmet in a message to the magazine). Fun fact I freehanded the perspective on Emmet in like 20 minutes because I had to rush. I think it came out alright considering I've never done that before ^^. Anyways I'll se if I can put up some doodles later for Burst.

We made it fellas :) I'll see you later, have a good night

[yanderes-galore]

hi, sorry if i'm too early to the rq period, but can i ask for a concept with pla ingo and a reader who was the unova champion and also knew him before being sent to hisui?

Sure! It's been a long time since I've played Pokemon Legends: Arceus so this is based on memory.

Yandere! PL:A! Ingo with Unova Champion! Darling

Pairing: Romantic/Platonic

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Clingy behavior, Amnesia, Overprotective behavior, Selfish behavior, Manipulation, Jealousy, Dubious relationship/companionship.

It's no wonder Arceus saw you fit for the task it has chosen for you.

Who better to try and stop Volo than a Champion?

As a result you, former Unova champion, are sent to Hisui.

Ingo doesn't really remember you at first due to his memory loss.

When you do meet him in Coronet Highlands he can tell there's something about you.

You recognize Ingo as... well... Ingo somewhat, but are perplexed by his amnesia.

Ingo finds himself strangely drawn to you when he sees you.

Even fighting you feels familiar, yet something seems missing.

He isn't sure what.

By the end of his first battle with you he isn't really sure if he wants to part from you.

You know Ingo well as Champion.

To pass time you would challenge him and Emmet all the time.

You had grown close to the two brothers, becoming friends.

Maybe Ingo just saw you as a friend... or maybe he saw you as something more and never bothered to admit it.

Either way said feelings keep bubbling within him even now despite his memory loss.

Even your name echoes in his mind as familiar... he knows at some point he's heard it...

At some point he's cherished it.

Hearing you talk to him makes his heart flutter just a bit.

He tries his hardest to figure out why you're so familiar.

However... eventually you yourself end up bringing it up.

You say you used to be a Champion for a place called Unova.

More bells ring in his mind... he looks shocked but he listens to you.

You tell him you used to challenge him and his brother often.

You admit you considered him a close friend.

Yet now... now you're stuck here to fulfill some prophecy.

Ingo takes some time to digest the information but he begins to look at you fondly afterwards.

He admits the memories are vague but he does remember you.

No wonder he feels such a strange connection to you.

Ever since then you two often are around one another.

After all, you have the strongest connection out of anyone here.

Ingo starts to act differently around you too.

You notice he hovers around often and even asks to train you more.

He gets worried when you're on expeditions.

His behavior is somewhat understanding.

You are the only connection he has to his old life.

Not only that but you invoke such strong emotions within him.

Having battles with you seems... normal.

He misses it, actually.

You both may not have your usual teams but the skill is still there.

Others expected you two to get along due to both being from the Time Rift.

Although they didn't know you knew each other so well.

I expect there's moments where Ingo gets... sentimental.

Especially as he remembers you more and more.

There's times Ingo will break his more stoic behavior to hug you.

It brings back memories for you too...

Oh Arceus, you worry for Emmet....

You even bring up his brother at times, hoping to jog his memory.

Ingo is upset that he can't see his brother whom he barely remembers... but he feels comforted that you're here.

Especially as his obsession gets more intense.

His depression with his memories and feelings are what drives him to you.

Soon he asks you not to leave so often.

He wants to talk to you, battle with you, feel your warmth....

It may be selfish but Ingo and you have been through a lot, right?

So... he deserves to be around you the most, right?

You no doubt try to jog his memory... but he begins to wonder what the point is.

What if you both never go home?

The thought plagues him often, even Sneasler can tell something's wrong.

Maybe he'll never even see Unova again....

Then his thought flick back to you.

... so what if he doesn't?

Ingo has you, doesn't he?

No one else can compare to you and him.

No one else deserves you.

Aren't you meant to be?

As long as he has you... maybe he can be happy.

A little slice of home...

Maybe it won't be so bad to be stuck here as long as he has you... forever... his dearest champion.

[au-wannabe-the-very-best]

Sounds like Alxi is gearing up for a journey to find himself and figure out what he wants to do, if he wants to stay. Not like he has much of a choice unless he gets tossed back home.

Would he eventually get his own place, once he gets his documents settled, or would the brothers all decide to move to a new place with 3 bedrooms? It would be nice if they all decide they are still family, even if they aren't blood related. He could even still work at a train station if he wanted, since he still has the experience.

Alexi is going through a huge existential crisis, for the second time, and is a little too scared to really. Talk about it with anyone. Instead choosing to try and deal with it himself.

Meanwhile, Emmet is terrified to even talk to Alexi, because he was a major player in Alexi's first existential crisis and somehow convinced the poor guy that he was his missing twin brother.

Alexi is kind of convinced for a while that he'll have to figure out new living arrangements and just. Move out of Emmet's life. Which is something Emmet doesn't want either, because as complicated as things are, Alexi for all intents and purposes was his brother for the past five years, even if he wasn't Ingo. Like, Alexi made him soup when he was sick, scolded him when he overworked himself, play wrestled him, all the works. Emmet can't stop Alexi from wanting to move away, after all, Emmet... Contributed to this guy's brainwashing. But he doesn't want Alexi gone either.

Ingo is actually the one to convince Alexi to stick around. Ingo, for very obvious reasons, has no preconceived notions about who Alexi is and what he should be like. Ingo personally has done nothing to wrong Alexi directly. It's so much easier to interact with Ingo than everybody else, who act so stilted around Alexi. (You know. Because of the guilt and horror.)

Ingo just. Talks with Alexi. About everything and anything. Alexi ends up giving Ingo his "memory journal" where he's kept a record of things from the past five years, because the journal includes stories that Ingo's family told Alexi in hopes of "jogging his memory." Although Ingo remembers Emmet and his home now, he's still got a bad case of amnesia, so Alexi thought this would be helpful for him in the way it wasn't helpful to Alexi.

Ingo finds himself very touched by the entries of Alexi's journal. It's meticulously kept, and Alexi is very clear about what he's feeling in the moments he records. Alexi very obviously loves Emmet. Loves the friends and family Ingo had trouble remembering. Alexi writes about their mannerisms and their ticks, taking special care in these notes because "you should be able to recognize who they are by these traits, even if you were to lose your memories once more."

Alexi thought he had lost his memories and kept a record in the case he ever lost them again, and this proves to be incredibly useful for Ingo. Alexi is more than happy in aiding Ingo's efforts in regaining his memories. The two become close as a result, and Ingo finds himself treating Alexi as a brother.

Ingo is rather honest about wanting Alexi in his life. It immediately makes Alexi reconsider leaving.

They still need to move, of course. Ingo came back with an entire team from Hisui. They kind of need a bigger place to house all these new Pokémon. (And Alexi's Ferroseed. Can't forget the newest addition.)

And as for Alexi's job. He actually needs to get his certification in his own name to continue working at the station. And Ingo's been gone for five years so HE needs to get reexamined as well. They become study buddies for a while.

What if I posted the draft of the prologue to a fic of an au I haven't talked about on Tumblr. For a Halloween treat.

It's not edited up to where I want it. That and because this is only the first part of this au and it will be a long while before I write the rest is why I'm not posting it on ao3 yet. But if you would like a little something spooky, here is:

Heart of the Subway, part 1: Descent

Ingo sweeps his flashlight out in front of him. Even though Chandelure floats beside him, it is the proper safety procedure to illuminate the path ahead. The sensor that went offline is rather deep in the maintenance tunnels, but it shouldn't be too far now. Ingo hums to himself and Chandelure whistles along.

He reaches the next intersection and pauses. Instead of the two branching paths he was expecting, there are three. Ingo consults his mental map- he had been certain he was going the right way, but he must have made a wrong turn. A rare occurrence - one that hasn't happened since Ingo and Emmet became Subway Bosses, in fact. But that's the only explanation for the discrepancy. Each tunnel has the even shape of a man-made structure - no chance of a subterranean pokemon causing mischief.

All three paths slope downwards.

"Chandelure," Ingo murmurs. "Have I made a wrong turn?" She, too, knows these tunnels well. Chandelure chimes in confusion, confirming that she is also in the dark. Ingo had presumed as much - if she had noticed something wrong, she would have stopped him earlier. But he had to ask. "Very well. Let us retrace our steps."

Ingo turns around and heads back the way he came. He could have sworn that this tunnel had a slight downward slant when he had originally gone through, but he must have been mistaken. It's certainly sloping lower now.

Sooner than he expected, he reaches another intersection. It's wrong. There should be an opening to his left, and an opening forward, but there are four tunnels splitting off. This is not the way he came, but how could he have ended up somewhere else?

"Chandelure, do you sense anything?" Ingo asks. If it is a trick by a ghost, she will certainly be able to tell. When he doesn't receive a response, he turns and finds the space beside him empty. "Chandelure?!" He calls, but only his own voice echoes back to him. His loyal partner would not wander off and abandon him, but her purple tinted light is gone. Where is she? Ingo whips around to the direction he came from and-- it goes down.

No, no, he definitely descended coming this way. Did he get turned around? Which way did he come from? He shines his flashlight into the other tunnels, but all four slant deeper into the earth.

That's not possible. It-- the direction he came from, he went down. He didn't hear anything. Nothing could change the tunnels so silently.

It feels like a dream, but Ingo bites the inside of his cheek and feels pain. He's awake.

Ingo pulls out his radio and gets blasted by static. No matter how he tries to tune it, the results are the same.

Ingo... does not know the protocols for a situation like this. But he cannot simply stand around. He picks a tunnel and descends.

After several yards, Ingo turns and shines his flashlight back. The tunnel does not appear to be going back up like it should. He shudders and turns around again. What a horrible optical illusion, he tells himself, and desperately tries to believe it.

As he walks further and goes deeper, he begins to see cables run along the walls. He shines his flashlight on them, and though they are in line with the electrical wiring used in the subway, their placements and directions do not make logical sense. Ingo is intimately aware of how messy the wiring of the subway system was when he and Emmet began their careers. It was one of their highest priorities to repair when they became the bosses. It would make sense that there could have been wires they missed when doing the power system overhaul, so deep in the maintenance tunnels, but... these cables dip in and out of the walls in a way he's never seen before.

As he continues going deeper, he encounters cables drooping down in loops from the ceiling. An egregious safety hazard in five ways he can count off the top of his head. No one must have been in these tunnels in decades.

The wires grow thicker on the walls, running in all directions. Yet it is quiet - no hum of running electricity, despite the forest of cables. The only sounds Ingo can hear are his own careful breaths, and his rapid heartbeat.

It is not long before the cables have grown so thick that the walls are no longer visible. Ingo nearly trips before he realizes there are wires reaching out of the floor as well. He trains his flashlight and eyes at the ground, stepping carefully around the growths.

The tenuous beam of light hits a slab of solid metal. Ingo raises it to view an ancient door, wires twisting around every inch. Thick cables have entirely replaced the walls and floor - and a quick look upwards confirms the ceiling is covered as well. He swallows his dread and turns the doorknob with a shaking hand.

Immediately after stepping through, the door closes behind him with a sense of finality. The chamber he has entered is much wider than the tunnel he was in previously. Cables twirl and flow all around, congregating in a massive pillar in the center. Ingo realizes with a start that he can see outside his flashlight’s meager view - the whole room is filled with a dim sourceless light.

When he returns his eyes to the central pillar once more, he feels–

welcome happiness home

What…?

Ingo finds himself relaxing despite the incongruous nature of the emotions. It doesn’t make sense to feel this at home in such a strange, alien location, and yet. It’s as if he’s sitting on the couch, one arm around his brother, surrounded by their pokemon. Comfortable, safe, warm.

He can’t hear anything, but he can almost feel a noiseless sound. A pulse. Gazing upon the monolith of intertwined lines, he gets the sense that these wires, despite the lack of electricity flowing through them, are not lifeless.

He is suddenly, indisputably sure that this is the heart of the Unovan subway system. There is no logical evidence, nothing that could have led him to this conclusion, but he is certain.

Ingo is awestruck. Nothing could have prepared him for the power and life that the core of the subway emits. After all these years, all the effort Ingo and Emmet put into restoring a run down transit system - seeing that it has blossomed into something like this makes him want to laugh and cry. It was worth it.

The corners of his eyes pinch, his version of a wide smile. He wonders if he should feel reverence, in the core of the place he and his brother dedicated themselves to, but instead he’s filled with love, love, love that is not his own. Ingo realizes that it’s the subway itself, communicating with him in pure emotions, and he laughs. His own joy is reflected back at him. He loves and adores the subway, and it seems it loves him back.

With a noise like leaves rustling in the wind, cables shift in the pillar, opening a small entrance. Ingo feels a gentle pull forward, an invitation to enter the heart. happy closer appeal. Ingo notices he’s taken a step closer without realizing it.

He steps back and plants his feet firmly to the ground. Come come come. No, Ingo will not do anything blindly. Love safety stay happy, the subway croons wordlessly, yet he feels himself start to sweat.

Suddenly he’s sure that if he enters the heart, he will never be able to come back out.

Comfort love safety. It’s not bad, down here. Pleasant, really. The subway loves him. He could be happy, nestled securely in the heart.

But he cannot do this. To stay here would be abandoning his responsibilities. It would mean leaving his job and his passion behind. Never seeing his friends or his pokemon or his brother again.

Negative false reassurance. Still there still there

Ingo shakes his head and shudders. He doesn't understand how staying here could be anything other than abandoning everyone. He tries to turn back around and--

He can’t move.

Despite the subway’s faith confidence trust, Ingo feels his breathing speed up. It won’t let him leave. It won’t-- he doesn’t want this but he can’t even lean backwards.

Ingo shivers, and thinks of Emmet alone. Not knowing what happened to his brother. Worrying about Ingo. Worrying Ingo left him, falling into those old self doubts. Ingo promised he would never leave. He promised - and in a burst of frantic energy, he turns and manages to take a step away.

No love safe comfort stay stay STAY

Ingo struggles to take another step, while a whispering rasp hisses behind him. As he pushes his frozen legs as hard as he can, he spots squirming black shapes approaching in the edge of his vision. Cables reach out to him, wrapping around his arms, ever so gently. More circle his wrists, his legs, his feet, his chest, his neck, with extreme care. Like handling fine china, like holding a precious treasure, the wires cradle Ingo, embracing every inch of him. Ingo’s terror and panic fight the calm safe love, but he can’t move at all in the wires’ tender hold.

Paralyzed, Ingo can do nothing as the cables begin to drag him into the heart. He tries, he desperately tries, but he can't even twitch a finger. He can't move, he can't move, he will be stuck down here for the rest of his life and he will never see his brother again-

adoration safe calm belonging stay

Drawn into the subway's heart, a path made specially for him, all Ingo can do is scream "EMMET!"

Then the wires fall back into place, as if the entrance was never there at all.

No– stop- what's going on? He doesn’t want this! He can't move! He doesn't -

Home safe belonging love love love

the pressure, it's everywhere- he's being crushed, he - air? Is he breathing? He can't move, he can't move- help-

Calm safe peace secure

What is that sensation- running through him, he's never felt something like that, he doesn't understand- rumbling stopping and starting, in him - pinch and itch and drag on parts a body doesn't have, how- he doesn't want this, please stop-

Right belonging acceptance

There's no color- How is he seeing so much at once - too much, it's too much, he can't- make it stop, please-

Rest reassure love

It doesn't hurt but he doesn’t understand- he's not supposed to be– he is supposed to be…what is he supposed to be?!

Right correctness cherished belonging

help, he can't– it's so quiet- this is too much, he can't–

Reassure calm love adoration

He can't- he can't…

Acceptance belonging home

H-help… Em… met…

Belonging belonging belonging

He...

Calm safe belonging

…

Calm.

He calms.

Emmet is doing paperwork in his and Ingo's office when the lights flicker off for a second. They're back on almost immediately, but Emmet groans regardless. The subway's backup generators prevent essential functions from shutting down, but a power outage, no matter how brief, means there are many safety checks that must be run.

Emmet blinks, and places a hand on his chest. Nothing happened other than the lights going out, but he feels like something is different. He can't put his finger on what or how, exactly, but…

Hm. He'll have to ask Ingo if he felt it too after he gets back.

[coldslaws-gear-station]

Here's a few miscellaneous fun facts about the AU because rn it's actually giving me extreme brain rot;

UD Ghetsis' favourite flower is a Hydrangea, it was the first ever flower he ever cultivated. When Alder decided he wanted to challenge himself by raising a bigger plant, Ghetsis gifted him a hydrangea seedling, which grew into gorgeous pink hydrangeas. Though Alder was confused why his were pink and red while Ghetsis' were purple are blue.

Ghetsis himself is actually royalty born, however he was a half blood bastard child. While all of his half siblings were clawing their way into to being in the head seat of the royal clan, he stepped away, forfeiting his right to the throne. Fortunately they all perish mysteriously after their castle was seemingly set ablaze out of nowhere, since he was the only living relative of the family name, he got all of the inheritance. Hense why he's so unbelievably loaded.

Ghetsis' Hydreigon was actually the offspring of his father's Hydreigon that was going to be gifted to his much older half brother, however he refused to take the egg, claiming he could just buy himself a fully evolved dragon and he doesn't want to waste his time raising it. They were simply going to dispose of the egg since he didn't want it but Ghetsis stepped in and offered to raise it. Despite the fact that his father quite literally hated his existence, he gave the egg to him, probably expecting him to die raising it.

After the events of BW and during the events of Alder's healing, he steps down from the league and gifts the position to Drayden. He sees it as an apology for always making his life harder as he always has to deal with the aftermath of when a trainer would lose in the league. He knows he'll set the other Elites straight, he'll do more good with the position than he himself will ever do.

N isn't actually a random child Ghetsis found in the woods, he's actually his biological child. However his mother and Ghetsis' late wife had passed away during child birth, is why Ghetsis went so particularly feral when N was being held captive.

When N was held captive both Colress and Juniper tried to read through all his notes about the dragons to make the dream mist versions as real as possible. However he writes exactly as he talks, too fast, looks like chicken scratch.

N was born intersex (intersex N peak), Anthea is a trans man and one of the Triad's is a trans woman, though all three of them use they/them commonly. Concordia is cis, however he's a raging lesbian, hopeless romantic even. She's exactly like her father, dramatic.

Since the Striaton City triplets aren't actually gym leaders, they work with Ingo and Emmet as mini conductors. Cress guides people to the correct trains, Cilan greets passengers whenever they get on or off the trains, and Chili kicks out rude and brash people being rude to staff. They live in Anville time and you can battle them on Thursdays only.

The brain rot is real, I fear that one day I may be consumed.

- 💌

YES!!! THESE ARE SO GOOD.. all of ghetsis's horrible family conveniently dying in a mysterious fire though hello?? ghetsis. you wanna talk about smth /hj

drayden<3 he deserves it thank you. that's really gotta suck for drayden to have to clean up the mess. dealing with irate and probably distraught trainers. jeez

not sure what it is about ghetsis and having "my wife is dead" vibes. this is like the 3rd or 4th ghetsis ive seen with a dead wife (including my own) hey peepaw you okay. lowkey it's accurate though he really has widower vibes

AGREE WITH NS HAND WRITING. THINKS TOO DAMN FAST TO WRITE GOOD. AND INTERSEX N YEAAHH^!!! i wanna talk more about ns gender on my blogs really bad i just haven't had the opportunity. especially with regards to how ghetsis felt about his "son" not exactly being a boy and how he treated them over it. but intersex n real. also glad to see anthea not being cis is a decently popular interpretation for people who actually write them

shoutout that 1 triad member. woman winning per usual

ALSO!! i love that the triplets get to work at the station bc it works so well. bunch of identical siblings at the subway is hilarious and also the fact that cilan is canonically a huge train nerd in the anime iirc. i bet he's so happy and i love that for him<3<3

let yourself be consumed with brainrot

You got any headcanons about Gen 5?

It’s my favourite generation of Pokémon :)

So I’m taking this and running with it because you didn’t clarify what kind of headcanons. So Ash is defiantly aged in this one

Cilan is the one who gets Ash into weed. Not even smoking but just edibles.

Ash got his ass rocked by a Seismitoad while fucking around in a muddy pond. it was under the water and he stepped directly on it's head by complete accident. he kept whining about the bruises so Cilan gave him a 5mlg just so he would stfu.

he's introduced to Mario Kart and Sonic somehow in between going through Castelia City and Nimbasa City

Ash has already started to box and dance before he get's to Unova so he ask's if the Nimbasa Twin's wanted to rumble around after their dual battle with him and Cilan.

Emmet refuses but Ingo takes Ash on and quickly becomes he best sparring partner Ash has ever had so far. in the end Ash extends his stay in the city for just a full day of boxing with Ingo, thankful that the man took a day off to do so.

if Alder was asked who he favored the most out of all the trainer's he met during that year, he'd pick Cilan without hesitation. Ash is a close second but Alder doesn't like how quick to anger he is, especially when trip's around.

Unova as a whole is defiantly a trail in patience for Ash. since Pikachu's aren't native to Unova a lot of rich people or influencer's try to put a price on the Pokémon. wanting Pikachu for their own gains.

it take's everything in Ash not to swing at Iris near the middle of their travels because she hadn't dropped the 'kid' thing yet. in reality he doesn't lift a finger but mentally Iris has most likely died at least thrice by now.

the reason why is most likely related back when he was traveling through Kanto and how Misty bit at his heels for acting like such a kid despite Ash being 10 years old. he feels guilty that Misty and Brock both had to grow up fast but that doesn't mean Ash has too. he's learned it's better to let the insult roll off his back and not put to much wind to the flames but Iris just won't give up.

Iris had grown up quickly as well despite being a year and a half younger then Ash and about three years younger then Cilan. she's jealous that could see the world through rose colored glasses and take them off when things start to get serious.

she doesn't realize that she can do that too until much later, like around the time when Ash is in Alola for a time frame, but it's hard for her to do.

both Iris and Ash realize that Cilan's a mean and sassy drunk, he's like a year older then the legal age drinking limit in Unova, until they get knocked out of the league during the final battles. sitting by the green haired chef who's somehow gathered a group of people so they could just shit talk.

it's definitely the first time Iris and Ash has seen this so their off to the side. contemplating on whether or not to approach their friend or not. choosing to just stay in ear shot and keeping Cilan in their eye sights in case the chef bolts off to somewhere.

Ash ends up tasering Trip at some point during the entire Unova arc. no one knows how it happened and Trip actively refuses to even speak to Ash and his friends afterwards for a while.

Ash and Iris originally thought that there was some hella sexual tension between Cilan and Burgundy only to realize that it went deeper then that.

apparently Burgundy liked another connoisseur girl that was a rank above her but that girl liked Cilan instead of Burgundy. the girl publicly turned down Burgundy before going and also publicly asking Cilan for a date.

what Burgundy doesn't know is that Cilan had left mid date after realizing just how bad the girl was. absolutely clueless about what happened to Burgundy.

Iris knows most of the story but Ash is the one who knows all of it. they both agree it's 'not their turf' so they don't bringing anything up.

Ash and Georgia are so neutral towards each other that if they were left alone in a room, it would be completely silent because they would just ignore each other.

Elsa's Tynamo has a thing for Ash's Pikachu after their gym battle and it takes a while to peel the eel Pokémon off of Pikachu after it gets healed up.

Gwa!Submas more in depth

( with one star appearance ; ) )

Gift for @nc-eikin as a thank you for Tarzan!submas

Cw: mentions of yandere, monster fucking, daddy kink.

Afab reader

they would make special audios for their darling. Only for their ears to listen to. May or may not go all out. If their lover likes monsters then it will be monster audios; if they want yandere, then oh boy, they will kick up the possessive level.

Include all of their Darlings most favorited Kinks. Ingo, Emmet or both would lay in bed with you and urge you to try it.

" Close your eyes dear, but you can't open them."

" Trust us darling, we've worked verrry hard on this."

You put your headphones in your ear and listen. Not even minutes into it they start touching you. you whimper almost squealing in shock when you feel fingers brush into your hair at the same time it happens in the audio.You almost open your eyes but you feel hands covering them "ah ah ah, verrry bad listener~ keep those pretty eyes closed~"

Watch anime? Play games? Have a favorite title?? You can tell dear Emmet about it. He totally won't use it to his advantage in his next post ; )

Ingo lowkey Kink shames you lol. he asks you what your favorite audio is to know what his audience is normally into he can take notes on what he can improve. And oh how is Skitty smile drops when you talk about the most darkest audio he has? That yandere one where he is a priest trying to manipulate you into being with him??

"oh...?" he says with a dark look. " I can't say that I'm surprised with a sinner like you," he says, backing you against counter, his whole body pressed against yours. He grabs your chin with his fingers forcing you to look up at him. " Don't tempt me again, dear; I may be a pious man. But even the most righteous of men have the most ravenous of demons," he growls before kissing your forehead and walking out of the kitchen like nothing fucking happened.

You get to read the comments and smirk at how many people thirst for their voices knowing that they can't have what you have.

Emmet gets low-key jealous if he sees you listening to other people's audio. Nothing too far. He just gets a little pouty and asks what do they have in their audio that he doesn't have in his. You laugh and say a hot dilf voice. And he just grabs you by the shoulders, pinning you to the bed. Immediately lowering his voice to a rough, husky tone, " Don't toy with me, little girl... Unless you want to be warming Daddy's fat cock later, I suggest you don't push any more of his buttons."

You love the wholesome moments all three of you share after watching a movie the both of you are immediately invested in talking about it. The two are talking about an audio idea inspired by the film, and you're entirely for it. You are giving them more ideas and feeding into their new obsession, watching them unable to hold their excitement.

And then you have the overworked Gremlin side. Where you have to beg Emmet to go to sleep because it's 2 hours past midnight on his day off with eye bags under his eyes while he edits his audio because his computer corrupted it.

Ingo has a different reaction when he sees you listening to another person's audio. You gush about this one women's GWA account, 'Mr.Cl0dsire,' you swoon about how she's so talented, and her voice has such a range; suffice to say you sort of have an internet crush on her suave voice. Ingo hiding a smile, just raises an eyebrow 'oh...?' how intriguing. Not too long ago, he just got a DM from her absolutely praising him for his voice work... Since they've been mutuals for quite a while, maybe he can pull some strings~ and have a very special audio made just for you with a special guest~.

Let's just say if you ever were in a relationship with these two you're fucked : )

And I have yet to mention that Emmet would totally sneak up on you while you were listening to something. And slide a thick toy inside of you. ( your permission ahead of time, of course) pounding your poor cunt, silly.

Ingo learning how to voice your favorite character just to see you squirm.

Or both twins are sitting you down with hearts in their eyes, asking What audio you would like them to do because they want nothing more than to see that smile on your face.

Emmet would it get a mischievous look on your face and urge you to put in your earbuds while you sit next to him on the train. You try to hide your now reddening face as you heard his voice whisper naughty things into your ear, the lewd sounds from his hand stroking his wet cock.

Hisui Live Stream AU

Akari is Champion Dawn and ends up in Hisui with only the clothes on her back and her phone blessed by Arceus. She's only able to live stream her adventures and isn't even sure they're posting. They do post whenever she enters a distortion, but she just can't see the responses.

Imagine Champion Dawn missing for a week before suddenly going live. People click on only to see her in a hazy purple area with ancient styled clothes. She's going on about how different the past is to the future and complaining about having to learn how to wash clothes by hand and not being able to have a hot shower (the horror!). She also explain how she managed to make it so her arcphone can make it see what she sees and being able to use both hands. People can see her using a shinx, bidoof, and oshawott. They watch as she catches pokemon including the largest cyndaquil and Rowlett people have ever seen that she calls "alphas". The ends as she approaches an old-style village saying that she doesn't want people to see her talking to her arcphone since they don't know what it is.

People are obviously confused. They look at her profile to see she live streamed at least once a day. They learn she's going by the name Akari. And they're horrified to realize that she's literally in the past on an honest to Reshiram Arceus set mission. And that the reward for said mission is meeting Arceus again and presumably heading home.

It becomes big news.

It inspires memes.

It inspires prayers.

People pity her as they watch her begin to drive herself to the ground in an effort to get home. They watch as she latches onto the streams in an effort to alleviate some homesickness.

They watch that as she spirals further they're granted access to meet the citizens of Hisui. Simply because she can't be bothered to preserve the timeline anymore. And they as the citizens also pity her and enduldge her because she's their best resource of pokemon information.

They watch as Irida introduces Warden Ingo. Subway Master Ingo. Akari doesn't know Ingo is a Subway Master because plot, but boy howdy do the viewers know. Emmet finds out because he was watching the videos with Lenora in an attempt to distract himself from the fact that Ingo has been gone for 4 months. (At this point Dawn would be in Hisui for 3 weeks and it's funny to think that Ingo immediately got promoted to Warden as soon as the Pearl Clan found him) Nimbasa would set up a prayer site at the subway begging for Ingo to be returned home along with Dawn. There would be so many gifts to the gods for their safe passage home. The janitors would have to constantly move then so the space doesn't become a hazard.

They also get a first hand view of all the nobles' frenzies and how close she came to death multiple times. Kamando has people cursing his name now. Emmet is yelling at his brother to help that poor girl.

But the theories. People accurately guess that Volo is evil. They're very vindicated when Volo's treachery is revealed. People theorize that the crack and distortions in Hisui are just the by products of Cyrus and they'll fix themselves with time. People theorize that this was her punishment for catching the creation trio.

People also ship.

If you don't mind me making another long post, I'll talk about the current view I had for a part 2 and the what I thought of the characters first thought of the twins. Feel free to correct anything I miss interpretate, we currently don't have too much about the town's folks individual options on the twins and their Pokémon.

I sorted the town's folks into categories based on their opinion on Pokémon instead of the twins themselves but quite a few probably would be cut from the actual chapter unless I made a part 3

Likes Pokémon:

Jas, Vincent, Evelyn, George, Wizard

(George likes Pokémon but doesn't appear to, kinda like the dog owner who insults their dog but still gives it a treat. He might like their Pokémon but he doesn't like the twins because he doesn't want them to mess up the train station.)

Lukewarm about Pokémon:

Alex, Elliott, Harvey, Emily, Leah, Maru, Penny, Caroline, Clint, Gil, Gunther, Linus, Marlon, Marnie, Robin, Willy

(Alex, Elliott, Emily, Maru and Penny are all scared of Pokémon but think they're interest/cool but will observe from a safe distance. Penny is the most scared but also most intrigued)

(Harvey, Leah, Caroline, Linus, Marnie and Willy are scared of Pokémon but have more a neutral option of them and see they more like unprodicatable animals. Harvey favours Klinklang since its the least dangerous looking (and I like to think the Klink line is associated with anything with mechanics like the air force). Linus has mixed feelings about Garbodor, he feels a kinship since they're outcast but has a dislike since she might steal his dinner.)

(Clint, Gil, Gunther, Marlon and Robin are scared of Pokémon but aware that they can be tamed and are often used in their jobs outside of Stardew. Clint would like Boldore. Robin would like Gurdurr. Gunther is aware of fossil Pokémon.)

Plain fear of Pokémon:

Sam, Sebastian, Abigail, Hailey, Gus, Jodi, Lewis

(Sam, Sebastian and Lewis try not to show their fear but would run away if a Pokémon got too close.)

Hostility towards Pokémon:

Shane, Demetrius, Kent, Pam, Pierre

(All hostility mainly stems from parental overprotectiveness but witha small. Since Pam was the original bus driver, she possibly had seen some Pokémon battles outside of Stardew and seen how strong they could get. Kent is probably the only one to never fully like Pokémon.)

HI! Doctorsparkle here! Takadanobaba showed me your ask and well ... he is letting me take the stage on this main replay! I got to say tho Kraken! You are on the right tracks! I have to say you are amazing for paying attention to so many details and nuggets we have placed throughout various posts!

Your fanfic based on the mod is amazing as well and we are glad for all the ideas you have thrown at us. It really helps us when we are stumped.

Few things about some characters.

George - George’s relationship with Submas Twins is - Tolerating their presence.

Ingo and Emmet have a good relation with their wife, Evelyn, and they know that Evelyn adores Pokémon. (He knew she had one, as did he... when they where in their younger years before Stardew got rid of them. Evelyn had a Bellosom. While George problem had a a Crab-Related Pokemon. Like Krabby or Dwebble, really family Pokémon. They weren't trainers, just average folk.)

And since they have a good relation with the wife, well, you know the saying, happy wife. Happy life. As for his views on the train station.. he really doesn’t care… simply due to his age, him being wheelchair bound... and there has been dialogue related to him how he isn’t religious but since he is up there in age he preys to Yoba. (To which I can relate to, George and Evelyn as characters based on my own personal experiences with older family members.)

So really he doesn’t like the twins but as long as his wife is happy and the Pokémon are nice. He doesn’t care what they do… He's probably glad to have some form of company.

Harvey - Harvey is most definitely going to like Klinklang, however, he still views it as dangerous. Every Pokémon the Submas twins has is dangerous in their own way…. For Klinklang tho… well... giant spinning gears. And moving parts. If anyone who has worked with heavy equipment or machinery. Gears and sharp can be dangerous. Get your clothing stuck in there and well— RIP your arm or leg. Or your favorite outfit. He will still be wary and cautious about all moving parts on a Pokémon. Organic or Mechanical. Hence why he harps on the twins about their health more than anything. It's a hate-love relationship. Think of a nagging parent. He doesn’t outright dislike Pokémon but he just can’t turn off his doctor brain. Ya know?

Views on Job Related Pokemon

(Robin, Clint, etc) - LOVE THIS TO BITS! However, do keep in mind that Stardew Valley is isolated… it is a separate region. So, unless you're someone like Pam who travel across Stardew Valley. You're not going to see a Pokemon. Or a Pokemon Battle. I bet you no one even knows what a Pokemon Battle is.

I think they would learn about how Pokemon can help them with their own professions through casual talks with the Submas Twins when they have to say ask Robin for a commission or head down to Clint's to get some metal work done. The knowledge of Pokémon is lacking…. Which feeds into the fear and stigmatization of them. Knowledge is power. The government will most likely be censoring Pokémon related media... except for a few things that fall through the cracks like fashion magazines.

Which we’ll segway into… Hailey and Emily - They will most definitely fear Pokémon, however, we have some plans for the two with Elesa! They will know a little bit about Pokémon but only through fashion magazines. So think cute Pokémon like Happiny or Pachirisu. Anything bigger then a cat… forget it. They will be terrified of all of Submas Pokémon but over time it’ll dull down… they’ll still be jumpy but its not an outright dislike. Just... they prefer to see them from afar or in fashionable clothing in a book or magazine.

Gus - Definitely a fear of Pokemon... however! There are some exceptions. Joltik. And Garbador. Joltik I won’t go into details just yet, but one shows up in an event where Gus is. Garbador tho, think of Linus. Gus will most likely think of Garbador like Linus… so he isn’t scared of them. Plus. They keep the trash clean… so no raccoons or rats near the establishment. Lol. He'd be happy that no food/trash would go to waste and they make less of a mess than the other scavengers, so it's better to have it go to them.

Demetrius - Now he is a complicated one. I would say yes to hating Pokémon HOWEVER, there is definitely some character growth and development with him simply due to how Maru interacts with Pokémon and how much Stardew Valley is changing.

There is dialogue about Demetrius saying it's better that Stardew Valley- or this case the Ferngill Republic- is isolated. He could hate the Pokémon and dislike the twins at first because they are breaking the norm.

Maru, on the other hand, is absolutely fascinated about the changes. Scared and wary, but in awe of the Pokémon. The scientist in her is wanting to challenge the norm, while Demetrius is conservative and stuck in his ways… we’re also not a 100% concrete on this concept yet due to needing to double check dialogue and how his personality is in game but for Demetrius definitely a character development kinda guy.

As for how Stardew Valley relates globally with the Pokémon world stuff, I have been going off of the Setting article on this Wiki here

It shows a very pixel crude map of Ferngill Republic and Gotoro Empire. They are both continents or in this case regions.

You can’t drive to Ferngill Republic through Unova or any other Pokémon region. Only way to get there is by flight and then travel by bus. However when the train-station is up and running there will be Surfliner Routes, theoretical underwater train lines, or a giant bridge.

In Black and White and Black and White 2 there are the Wifi-Lines. I believe these to be international lines that connect to other regions. So, say for example, a train from Kalos deciding to go to Unova via this Wifi-Line or the Cyan Line. etc. etc. since Stardew Valley and Ferngill Republic has been isolated, banned on Pokémon etc. Passenger lines cannot travel on these train lines… also with the state of the station in Stardew, it probably isn't the best either.

The Ferngill Republic, however, conducts Agricultural and Economic trade with the other regions. Tomatos, meat, etc. due to possibly how taboo it is in some regions to kill and to eat Pokémon. Even though Magikarp and Slowpoke Tails might be a delicacy... the culture surrounding Pokémon as being our friends, family, partners in life... well you wouldn't want to murder Mr. Mittens now would you. That wouldn't sit right with some people.

So with the train station being rebuilt, expect a lot more economical benefits etc. and trade.

Hope this least clears up some things but also.. I just info-dumped like Ingo LOLOL. Aaaaaah…. Theres definitely a lot more I can write. Guess you can say… i’m like Lore Keeper Dani from Criticalrole. Anyway! Hope you enjoy this long reply to chew on!

>:3 thinking about how now that Lian is yeeted to the future he ends up enrolled into BBA and joins the league club >:) Lacey shows him around the school n stuff and they make it to the club room where of course, Drayton is lazing around but upon seeing Lian he goes ghostly pale and books it out of the club room leaving both Lian and Lacey confused (Lacey knows about Lian now, the one that was friends with Drayton but she’s unaware that the kid she’s showing around the school is the same one since Lian is kinda keeping it a secret he’s from the past)

Drayton books it to his dorm room and immediately calls Ingo (he debates calling iris but decides against it as she wouldnt understand like Ingo does as this is post reveal to the twins) ingo is concerned bc he knows it’s school hours for Drayton and then he hears the sobbing mess his nephew is in and becomes VERY concerned as he can’t even get the reason Drayton is calling bc he’s so upset….although he has a gut feeling it has to do with something with hisui if Drayton is calling out of the blue like this and not iris….

So after talking with Emmet so he can handle the battle station, he flies to BBA since Drayton isn’t gonna talk much with his crying and ingo goes to Drayton’s dorm to talk and Drayton finally manages to get out that he saw Lian or at least he thought he did, he did run out before he could get the kids name…but still he thought he saw Lian and he knows Lacey is his descendant but maybe Lian had more? Drayton doesn’t want to get his hopes up….

But yeah….drayton is in SHAMBLES at seeing Lian, I think he’d be such an emotional wreck that he manages to get sick and has to go home for a few days…

Real quick but the mental image of Lacey showing Lian around and he's just confused as shit is so funny your honour imagine him asking what this and that do and asks abt the new pokeballs and then sees all the different pkmn he hasn't seen yet he's like asking questions nonstop and Lacey's wondering why he doesn't know it and he's going that they don't have that where he was from, which is technically true, but still lmfaooo

But anyways

Ohhhhh the plot is thickening👀👀👀

Poor Drayton tho but sorry if my thoughts are like this since I just woke up Lian would not fucking recognize him and Drayton's there sweating like crazy if they do see each other but for Lian he's just another kid in the academy that's friends w his descendant, he doesn't even understand why Drayton looks nervous around him

Nobori and Kudari AUs At a Glance pt.1

Hello! Hi! So, I made a long post about the Dead Dove AU, and it got me to thinking! There's a lot of AUs floating around between me and Riso, and honestly not all of them have been talked about publicly! You might have seen some art from Riso but!! I thought it might be convenient to make some "at a glance" style posts discussing the slightly different angles of each AU.

Some notes may be vague, both because some things might have to stay secret for maximum impact, but also because I may not have thought of it yet.

Also, although I call select AUs 'shared,' Riso and I collaborate on all of the AUs. Shared ones are simply the ones we conceived of together, instead of coming up with the idea and subjecting each other to our brain worms.

~~~*~~~*~~~

Bot Emmet AU: Synopsis: Ingo wants to be everywhere all at once, so he decides to build a copy of himself. During the process, he realizes he's actually deeply lonely, and turns it into a brother, friend, and companion instead. Waking up before Ingo expects it, Emmet builds his own personality and becomes a real companion to Ingo, instead of a fabricated one. Spin-offs: Horror Amnesia 'au.' Nobori: Excellent with all things of a mechanical nature. Because he has felt emotionally isolated from others his whole life, he has trouble understanding his feelings and emotions; this also leads to him going quiet when he doesn't understand what he's feeling. Incredibly dedicated to his job and providing excellent experiences for everyone who comes to the Subway. Wants to do the best for Emmet as well as the employees in his charge. Rather serious, but he also loves to discuss electronics and programming. He will info dump if given the opportunity, and enjoys deeply discussing topics of interest to him. He is also incredibly wordy. Has a penchant for continuing thoughts out loud, not realizing that others have not been hearing his thoughts and being suprised when they confused. Kudari: Ingo is more important to him than anything else, regardless of his programming. He enjoys supplementing his knowledge via searching the internet. Has an overwhelming and inexplicable need to learn how to use nun-chucks. He's capable of taking pictures with his eyes, and has dedicated folders of pictures of Ingo. Because of how he was built, he is unable to stop smiling. Since the agents of the Subway are Ingo's guys, they are also his guys. He considers the subway agents to be like ducklings. Sometimes he will stand stock still in corners because he has found a strong signal and gets distracted with searching for things he finds interesting. Doesn't understand Ingo's verbally continued thoughts more than anyone else, but he joins into the conversation anyway. Romance Dynamic: Emmet initiates. Ingo is initially shy about it, and worries that he forced Emmet into it by programming him improperly. Ingo's entire sexuality and comfort with his body expands upon sharing his feelings with Emmet. Extra Tidbits: Ingo is trans and Emmet does not identify with any gender (and has completely interchangeable genitalia attachments). Fics: Build a Companion for Yourself, Nobori_Search.exe , Meet

Bride of the Black Dragon AU: Synopsis: Emmet has been chosen as the Bride for a ceremony which gives someone to the local deific figure, The Black Dragon. Unfortunately, Emmet does not know much of what this entails, and fears that he has been sent as a sacrifice. However, when he arrives... Nobori: Honorable and strong, Ingo is well-versed in all aspects of being a gentleman and a scholar. His background is similar to a prince's upbringing, so he speaks formally and with poise. When he is more comfortable with someone, he relaxes some, but still speaks overly formally. Has a playful side, and likes to thump his dragon tail when he's in a good mood (this translates to his human form as well). Kudari: Just wanting to live a normal life, he's at first intimidated with being forced into such a dramatic life. When left to himself, he's naturally curious, and likes to explore. His self-esteem is somewhat low, and he believes deeply that he's painfully normal. Gets extremely bashful when given compliments. Romance Dynamic: Ingo initiates. In the beginning, there is a size difference (￣y▽ ￣)╭ ehehe 🤍 At first, Emmet is shy, unsure, and Ingo gently builds his comfort. It's a respectful and soft love (with lots and lots of sexy times). In order for Emmet's body to adapt to special changes, he needs to take in the energy he and Ingo will share once their bond is complete. ( •̀ .̫ •́ )✧ Extra Tidbits: The fic series is still in progress. This has the potential to be a verrrrry horny AU. Any horny entries will exclusively be on Ao3 when posted. Fics: A Gilded Bride

Hisui AU: Synopsis: Ingo has certain memories that, no matter what he does, slip away the moment he tries to recall them, almost as if they are being taken from him. Despite this, for the fleeting moment he can experience them, they feel so very important. No matter what, he will find a way to remember. Nobori: Determined, he will fight to learn what his dreams mean. Although he does not seek out the help of others, his friendship with Akari allows him to accept her offer. He does not wish to cause trouble for others, and so he tends to push his own worries to the back of his mind, and instead focuses on ensuring others are safe and happy. Knows in his heart that he is missing someone deeply. Kudari: Because he is helpful to a fault, he will try and assist anyone as much as possible. Fiercely protective of Ingo, he will tear himself apart before he allows anyone or any thing to bring harm to his brother. Has a weakness for sweets. Although his speech is stilted in his native language, he takes rather surprisingly to the language in Hisui, and learns it quickly. Romance Dynamic: To be seen 🤭 Extra Tidbits: The twins have not admitted their feelings to each other in this AU yet - Ingo was thrown into Hisui before it could happen. The fic is still in progress! Fics: No Such Thing as a Bad Omen, Bonds Forged Long Ago Dead Dove AU: Synopsis: Built exclusively to explore dead dove topics, it has bloomed into something much bigger than that. Ingo is a controlling figure who explores all the interests and kinks he can think of, using Emmet as the one who experiences it all. Contains many dead dove topics, and the base AU is mostly centered around their sexual experiments. Connections: Mermmet AU Spin-offs: Death Train AU, Angel Demon AU, Pet AU, Royal4 AU, Quadruplets AU Nobori: Believes deep in his core that he and Emmet are two halves of the same person, cruelly split at birth. Incredibly high libido to the point where it is almost always in the back of his mind. Has a high need for touch, as well, and does not understand personal space when it comes to Emmet. Does have something of a mean streak, and will antagonize people when he finds it fun. Exceptionally calculating, he will plan things for weeks in advance before he acts on it, anticipating every outcome until it is acceptable to him. Kudari: A true empath, he can sense and is effected by the emotions of others. Despite this, he doesn't expect Ingo's treatment of him, and continues to hope that Ingo will stop what he's doing and they can go back to being happy like when they were young. Struggles to understand why Ingo doesn't listen to him, and tries to object to any of their activities that he does not like. Finds it difficult to not trust Ingo, and often falls for misleading words, stumbling into new scenarios. Romance Dynamic: Ingo initiates. Ingo is obsessed with Emmet, and shows it in unhealthy ways. Ingo, despite being well-read, does not understand sub-drop, and only provides the most clinical of comfort after their 'scenarios.' There is love in there, but it is twisted. Extra Tidbits: The growth between these two is instigated by Emmet's escape into another universe. Fics: Decoupled, Date Night

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Shared AUS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Royal AU: (shared with @glassesblu) Synopsis: A royal spin off of the Reverse Ages AU, Oemmet is a king who has lost his brother many years ago, and has withdrawn into himself. While he tries his best to rule the kingdom in a manner that his lost twin would approve of, he remains closed off to close bonds. However, with the appearance of a young prince, perhaps he won't be closed off for much longer. Connections: Reverse Ages AU Nobori: Young and idealistic, Ingo wants to impress all those around him and prove he is a formidable prince. When he meets Emmet, he's immediately struck with the need to gain his attention. A skilled swordsman, he is still learning the depths of court life as an adult, but is endearingly eager and determined. Despite this, he is very popular both in his own kingdom as well as in neighboring kingdoms. He is quite charming, and not prone to being bashful. One of his greatest enjoyments is making Emmet smile. Kudari: Emmet is well educated, and acts in the best interest of his country; he is a beloved king, and well-respected by surrounding nations. Because of his hard-work, his kingdom flourishes, but he is still incredibly lonely. He misses his twin, and considers Ingo's death to be his fault. It's hard for him to accept gifts because of his guilt. Able to see when someone is trying to take advantage of him or his people, he does not tolerate attempts to destabilize his kingdom. Romance Dynamic: Ingo initiates. It's very courtly, with exchanged letters and gifts and romantic poems recited to Emmet in beautiful, scenic locations. They like to flirt in established court manners, and be as romantic with each other as possible. Extra Tidbits: This AU instigated the Death Train AU, because Ingo did *not* accept that Emmet was left behind and unhappy after his death. So, he jumped off the Death Train, where normally Ingo and Emmet wait for their counterpart to join them, and forced his way into reincarnation to rejoin Emmet. Fics: Back to Back on the Battlefield, Double Heading

Unicorn AU: (shared with @glassesblu) Synopsis: Ingo is a humble hunter in the service of the Queen. He is highly skilled in navigating the woods, and makes sure to not disturb nature beyond what he must. However, those woods contain a beautiful being that the Queen covets among all things. When Ingo captures the unicorn of the woods, he does not realize it will bring harm to the creature. Meeting the unicorn years later, he realizes that he needs to free him, so as to save the unicorn from wasting away. Nobori: Down to earth, Ingo is very self-sufficient. For a very long time, he was loyal to the kingdom, and followed the Queen's commands to the maximum of his ability. Although he is a hunter, he's very kind to the forest, and offers words of respect when he needs to hunt any animals for any reason. Although he is usually straight-forward, he gets tongue-tied at Emmet's beauty, and becomes incredibly bashful in certain situations. Has a great sense of honor, and is dedicated to anything he sets his mind to. When the situation calls for it, he will fight to defend that which is important to him, but he prefers a more peaceful approach. Very strong physically, and loyal with all of his being; it was difficult for him to stop being loyal to the Queen, but his devotion ultimately lies with Emmet, who he chose in the end. Kudari: Sweet beyond measure, he protects the woods he lives in, though he does not do it through force. Simply, his presence cultivates gentle plant growth and healthy animals of the forest. He does not resort to any sort of defensive measures, and is kind to all who approach. Because negative emotions are fleeting to him, he quickly and easily forgives, providing the offender apologizes sincerely or seems honestly repentant. Does not like the feeling of clothing when in human form, but seems unconcerned with shoes that completely cover his feet (open shoes such as sandals cause many sensations that upset him, since he is used to hooves). Misunderstands when things are temporarily offered to him - considers them to be gifts. After Ingo offers his coat, he begins to consider Ingo his Knight, and shares his magic with him. Romance Dynamic: Emmet initiates, though both are quite inexperienced in matters of romance, and Emmet truly believes that Ingo instigated by giving him the hunting coat. Emmet is open to most anything, but does not understand innuendo in any capacity. Extra Tidbits: Due to becoming Emmet's Knight, Ingo becomes immortal. They make cameos in the Death Train AU, because they must check in on occasion. Here, Emmet frequently holds tea parties for any visiting Emmet and Ingo. Fics: None yet, but Riso has made so much good art!!! (this is just a sample because I love his face here!!!)

It will happen, someday.

*breaks your inbox* CAN I REQUEST SOMETHING-? AHem- can you UUHhh... family fluff like the reader being a cousin/sibling-? or somthi'n-

i regret this ask lmao-

and yes idk if the requests are open or not

Bruh.

My man actually broke into my inbox-

And don’t worry, my inbox is always open. I don’t think I ever closed it once. But I hope you like this. ;w;

Sordward

I think it’s clear at this point that this man kinda sucks when it comes to… well, being nice. If those are the right words. But hey, at least he can kinda try being that thing for once. Especially to people that he likes.

Since they’ll be genuine moments where he’s actually nice, if you can believe that. Rather rare, but it’ll really depend on what you are to him and how he sees you. But since you guys are family-

Those "rare" situations consist of him being like, having very sincere words and moments. Where he doesn't usually appear as the asshole that we all come to know and love. Like, he's still flamboyant as fuck, just not arrogant or being shitty about it. He's like an entirely different person.

Honestly, he’s probably only really nice towards you and his younger brother, if this were the case. The kind of nice that would be protective (especially if he’s the oldest) and caring. He’s also one to come up with silly ideas to go somewhere outside, but yeah-

But I mean, either way he's absolutely going to annihilate anyone that even tries to bother or hurt you. That's just how protective he is. And also because he does actually care about you.

Shielbert

He’s pretty much the sweetest cousin/sibling anyone could ask for. Like, he doesn’t usually try to start problems for no reason and tries to get along with people, even if he doesn't particularly like them.

But he likes you, whether you're his sibling or cousin. Maybe it's because you two are similar or have similar interests? Ah. Whatever it is, you two get along pretty well and hang around a lot.

… Maybe to a point he'd try to invite you over just to talk or spend time with each other? Because you're kinda the only one he genuinely likes to talk to and see (well, you and his brother are his favorites). And like, you guys can drink tea or whatever-

He’ll also do anything for you, if you ask. Like, whether you want a shoulder to cry on or want to make cookies at 3am with him. He just goes with the flow at this point.

If he's the older one between the two of you, he'll likely play the role as the "older sibling" or the "responsible cousin". Or any other words, he'll be protective of you. If you do the same for him, he’ll probably say something like “I can take care of myself” as he trips over a rock.

Emmet

Honestly, if you two grew up together as children. Whether you’re his sibling or his cousin. He was probably very close to you the most. I mean, sure, there’s Ingo. But uh, yeah… you two were probably close for a long period of time. 

Whether it’s just to hangout like two best friends that are family or go buy Doritos at 1am because you guys ran out of it. Just whatever floats your boat, I guess. You guys could even start problems with each other for shits and giggles, where no one actually gets upset.

He’s also the kind of person in the family that gives the best hugs and genuine care. So like, if you're sick, then he'd do his absolute best to help out. Even if you're 50 miles away from him and he has a job to do. Some things just take priority first.

Oddly enough, whenever you guys come in contact. He has a lot of things to say. For example, funny stories that happened at the station, or just anything infodumping related. He's also willing to show you around the train station if you'd like.

He's also one for Pokemon battles. But if you're not into that, it's okay. You guys could like, just chill around with his Pokemons going sicko mode. Be warned, a lot of his Pokemons are kinda goofy in a chaotic or good way-

Ingo

Hm. You know, he’s a very understanding man, whether that goes to family, friends, strangers, anyone. So like, if you have any problems or need genuine kind words from someone, he’s pretty much the guy to look for. Since he genuinely cares for his family.

Uh, but yeah, with his memories being wiped away. He probably forgot about you, but he still tries his best to be as respectable as he can. And he's glad that you were very understanding of his situation.

You can tell him about the moments you guys had together. Whether it's silly, embarrassing, anything. Sure, he might not remember them, but it’s nice to see someone who does genuinely still care about him after everything.

He'll likely be one to gush about things that interest him, such as battles and trains. And he'll probably apologize if he goes overboard with his infodumping ways. And yes, you can spend time with his Pokemons if you'd like.

But just know that he'll always be there for you. Whenever you need someone to talk to. Or just want to say "hi" to him. He's always there and welcomes any visits from you, even during his job because it honestly gets kinda boring-

[unovanhunny]

What if a similar thing to the champion au happened in the wet beast au, with Ingo learning something Emmet was keeping from him and confronting him about it? Or some third party giving Ingo the info without emmets knowledge.

Emmet doesn't tell Ingo that he was suspected in his disappearance, doesn't tell him that he was so stressed that there's a reason he always wears his gloves, doesn't tell him that he's taken up vaping as a way to relieve stress. But it's not something he can hide forever.

Ingo sees Emmet's hands without gloves and tentatively asks about the scars. Emmet doesn't like to lie, so he tells Ingo the truth. A nervous habit that he's always had, turned up to 11. Fidgeting with things until they broke (all his pen caps are clipless), leading to picking at his own fingers, leading to sores he had to bandage but kept picking at. Sure it was all stress induced but nothing Ingo has to worry about.

Ingo sees some of their pokemon all staring sadly at the patio one night when he goes to get water and has to check it out. He finds Emmet vaping and while he has no idea what a vape is, he knows that Emmet is smoking Something. They have to discuss it. (It works out fine, they end up smoking weed together)

The fact that Emmet was suspected in his disappearance happens later, he overhears some of the depot agents talk about it. "I'm so glad Boss Ingo is back." "Me too, the atmosphere has gotten a lot lighter since he returned." "Nothing was as bad as when they thought Boss Emmet had something to do with it all, though." "Oh, yeah. The whole subway could feel his mood. Not that I blame him. Imagine getting the police accusing you of having a hand in your brother's disappearance." And Ingo immediately has to go find Emmet and hug him. Doesn't say anything at first, but his heart hurts from hearing that Emmet had to go through something so horrible. But he does want to talk about it after.

How would Professor Rowan and Ingo meet?

When? Post Sinnoh-Crisis, pre-Hisui? Or maybe Post-Hisui with Professor Rowan questioning him about what Ancient Sinnoh was like? How the Pokémon developed into today’s typing.

The Alphas would probably be a heavy debate piece. (In general or you could assume the Alphas featured in Ingo’s Paths are caught.)

Has Rowan had any relationships before this one? Were they merely flings or serious?

this is gonna be a long post so it's gonna be under the read more.

so technically they've met before. was in the past when Ingo and Emmet first started their Subway/battle combo thing. it was at a charity gala and Emmet was sick so Drayden, good old uncle Drayden, took Ingo with him as a plus one. they were were friendly when socializing but that's it. they know of each other over the passing years because of how popular Rowan gets not just in Sinnoh but around the entire world for his research of Pokémon Evolutions and Rowan and Drayden are old friends as well since Drayden is an Army Veteran in the TA!Au.

Ash meets Ingo, this is where he's really starting to figure out what he wants to continue doing with his life because it seems being a successful trainer wasn't being acknowledge by Delia, and realizes this man is an INL member as well. mostly just data and research gathering like I've mentioned in a past post but he's really good at the job. Ingo and Ash meld really well and Ash gets the thought in his head that he'd be a perfect fit for Rowan. Obviously Ash gets way over his head but thankfully calls Gary first for his opinion, since he's technically the older sibling by six measly months, who talks him down but that doesn't stop Ash from info dumping about the Marine Corp turned Professor.

*Ingo dissapears shortly before the Virtress Conference starts. so he's gone for about 6 years give or take some months.

Rowan and Ingo officially meet for the second time Post-Hisui. it's not a very good meeting as Ash basically begged on his hands and knees for the Sinnoh Professor to take the Unovian in. due to the increasingly mental and physical strain on Ingo as he's now surrounded by a lot of loud noises such as his train and his brother who's clinging onto him for what seems like every second of every day. Rowan hears Ash out and he's well aware of Hisui as both Ash and Dawn had come back together and it was all over the news as a rift over Mount. Coronet had opened in their time to spit the trio out.

it's a bit of a strain between Sinnoh and Unova because of this as Drayden and Emmet both insist that Ingo would be better with his family while the majority of the army of therapists the INL offers up, Ash, and Dawn return fire and say that Ingo would be better in a place where he can heal without anyone pressuring him. The INL makes the final decision for everyone after Ingo comes to the headquarters of both the Unova and Sinnoh council members to speak up about his own wants and needs. in the end taking up Ash's offer, only after Rowan officially extends it on his own after learning about everything that's going on. stating that it would be good to be more near Ash and Dawn since those two were the ones who were dropped into Hisui, helped him regain his memory, and bring Ingo back to the present time in the first place.

Rowan and Gary are a fresh of breath air and for once they willingly give Ingo the space he needs and the attention he requires when the silence gets to much. it's also really nice that Rowan is extremally careful with his wording and questions as he can't help himself but probe Ingo for information about the past since he's been gone for six bloody fucking years. it's far better then his entire family back in Unova avoiding the whole situation almost at all cost. it helps Ingo work through his trauma and the sudden walls he built around himself during the time.

I have yet to decide if Ingo's Hisui team gets brought into the future and I'm even debating if I should bringing Lady Sneasler into the future as well. if I do then Rowan and Ingo would bond over his team as Rowan and his team are absolutely floored by staunch difference between the past Pokémon and the now Pokémon. If not then Ingo and Rowan bond over the Pokémon under the Professor's care as it seems Ingo has gotten pretty good at caring for the Sinnoh native 'Mon's. They also share stories of Ash, even if Ingo only has so few, and it soon develops in them sharing a glass of scotch at night or coffee in the wee hours of the morning before the sun rises about Rowans 'kids'.

"It feel's like every time a turn my back I gain a new damn kid."

"I get the feeling."

Gary finally admits Ash is right and that both Rowan and Ingo fit almost unnaturally good. having almost the same taste in coffee, music, clothing brand, and most importantly dry and dark humor. it doesn't help that Ash and convinced Dawn while in Hisui after Ingo regained his memories before making the hike to the Cobalt Coastlands. so it's two against one.

*I've mentioned this also in a previous post but Irida brings Ingo around them much earlier on in the story since there's two of them and its not just Ash and Pikachu that fell from the rift.

Rowan's had unofficially two major relationships and a couple of flings. one of them being with a girl after a few years of him being a Trainer, so around 14-16, they break up and it's what cause Rowan to enroll into the marines. during the time he had flings and then had a HR-inducing headache relationship with the then Sinnoh Champion that originally held the title for the longest Sinnoh Champion before Cynthia took it. He play's an important part in Rowan's history that I also touched upon. where he takes Rowan after the Dragalge Hyper beam attack to get almost fully healed by the last few fully fledged Aura users. He actually uses that vulnerable moment to strengthen his bond with Ingo, letting him know that he's not alone and that PTSD is a fucking bitch and it sucks but he can survive.

the dude is still alive, bitter that Cynthia knocked him off his throne when she was just thirteen and even more bitter since Rowan's plate got increasingly full to the point that Rowan couldn't even find time to speak with his mentor. he still lives in Sinnoh and pretty close to Sandgem Town as well.

Submas x self aware Reader! Part 3

The time of day doesn't change unless the twins are awake. You knew you needed to cross boundaries at least once to find more secrets of the game you were in. You went to their houses and found it unlocked, with the farmers sleeping in bed. No matter how hard you tried to wake them up, they would continue tosleep and night never turns into day.

This world and its history, you realize it doesn't date back farther than when your prerecorded backstory was established. Which meant that history only dates back to when your story was developed. There isn't a trace of recorded proof that the great vast country of Moonspire Kingdom ever existing past the memories only you carry. You truly felt alone. The book of great evil that you had in your possession was much too dangerous to try and use, it caused you to be sentient therefore in theory it has the power to take it away. If you were to lose your sentience now and yet retain the memory of being such...it is an indescribable horror of reality you don't want to ever live through. You want to stay sentient and the twins are your only source of company and connection to whatever real world was out there.

After a late night of gaming, one of the twins forgets to turn off their laptop and you realize this. Though it was dangerous, you tried to use a magic spell and enchanted crystal ball to pierce through the veil, the restriction that prevented you from seeing them.

Through your crystal ball, you see him, the one named Emmet. Unbeknownst to him, you had somehow accessed permission to see through his camera. Now you finally saw what they looked like.

The player character models were a close resemblance but they were nowhere near as handsome as the real deal. Your eyes went wide as you finally saw Emmet before you see him get up and start to undress, most likely to change into pajamas. Immediately, you avert your gaze; this was the true face of the farmer boy and you're no pervert. (Though you do admit, he has a pretty face and was nice to look at)

If this was Emmet, you assumed Ingo must look similar, due to the uncanny similarity the farmer characters had, with the exception of a smile and frown.

You remember how happy they were to see you earlier that day. You could hear them excitedly talk back and forth to each other, curious as to why your behavior had changed.

You did not know what world they had but living in this one was an isolating one, even more than before. You could not talk to any of the villagers or other characters. Though this seemed like reality, you can breath air, you can eat food, you can bathe, this wasn't real. You knew that now.

Though you were almost secretly resentful of the twins, taking your existence so lightly as part of a game; there was a deep sense of longing for company. They were the only ones you could talk to. Then came another sudden fear of realization. What you knew of games was that there would be an "end" of some sorts. Most games have a winner or a loser, which you don't think could happen for the farmer boys, considering how they're playing together, but what if there's an ending to all of this? If they reach that end, would they continue to come back for you? If they don't come back for you, would you live in a perpetual state of night time, unable to talk to anybody, left behind to be driven into a state of isolation and insanity? You swallowed dryly and considered going back to the tome, to search for a solution to this. You didn't think you have the power to make your world real (nor did you want to subject the other villagers to becoming sentient and becoming afraid as well, they didn't deserve that) but maybe since you established a connection to Emmet and Ingo's world, you can go to theirs?

But with that considering, it would take a great source of magic and rare materials. You didn't think you could possibly collect it all on your own…but the twins loved to take on quests for monster hunting. You saw them nearly every day, taking off a quest on the quest board before buying a train ticket from you. They are the only heroes of this local area willing to venture out to the farther lands.

You peer back into your crystal ball again to see that Emmet had fallen asleep, snoring softly. He fell asleep so quickly that you didn't realize how much time had already passed.

They were happy to see you when you appeared in the village square and always seem eager to help so maybe…

~~~

"I need your boys' help," you told the twins when they arrived at your train station the next morning. While the twins were actually resting, you took the time to research a possible spell that could release you from this world. But it would take more than just materials, the twins would need to write a runic spell on the floor in chalk in order for you to pass through. You weren't entirely sure how you could convince them how to do that but you could at least gather the materials you needed from this world.

The twins were undoubtedly excited, another cutscene with you! You exited your train station and the twins get to see your full form once again. Train conductors in this world has to be licensed heroes due to how often there are bandits and monsters in the open world, away from Moondrop Hollow. Your outfit was a form fitting vest suit that accented your sharp edges, with the sleeves rolled up and a hat to complete the oufit.

"I'm afraid I can't tell you the whole details, but I have a quest for you, should you feel brave enough to take it," you pulled out a paper in your hands and stuck it to the quest board. "This paper has a list of rare materials I'm in need of. I'm also hunting these resources as well, so you don't have to do everything by yourselves."

"The rare materials I'm hunting, it's not all harvested from monsters. I also require rare foraged items and a certain kind of fish. But this will most likely take all year to collect, as it's only spring. The fish I require will only appear during winter."

"I need your help with this. Please consider it. I am happy to reward you with every material you bring forth. You can deposit everything in the chest you see here." You give them a polite bow and go back inside your train station, ending the cutscene.

Ingo and Emmet immediately go to look at the quest paper you've posted and you can hear them mumbling. The items you required were very hard to find and the twins prided themselves on not using any mods to cheat in the game.

You listed the materials along with the season and location you can find them in. You requested the highest quality ore, a mystic mushroom, a glass gem, a gemfruit, and ghoulfish. Along with that you also requested a saber slime egg, royal killer bee honey, and spring water from the Forbidden Forest. These were the hardest drops to find in game. The last three being safeguarded by three difficult boss monsters.

You watch as the twins suddenly scurry off down the mountain path and you sigh as you watch them leave. But they come back moments later, sooner than you thought.

You see Ingo's character interacting with the chest and walking away from it. Your eyes widen, you get up from inside the train station and peer inside the chest. They've already collected all the ore? You wonder how long this took, but considering how soon they came back, you assumed they had this collection due to a vast number of years playing this game.

You stop to turn and look at Emmet's and Ingo's characters and stammer, "M-my, my. I wasn't expecting you to come back so soon. I didn't have enough time to prepare a suitable reward for you."

Emmet whines in person, Ingo makes a soft complaint. You feel bad for not having prepared ahead of time. You clutch your chin and thought, nothing in this world really mattered. You may as well provide them with however much this ore would be worth and more, for collecting it all.

"One moment," you say before going back inside your station. You come back out moments later and give the twins all of the gold they've given you. It didn't matter anymore that you were penniless when you can just take what you wanted from the store anyway.

"Take it," you said gently. "Money has no meaning to me anymore." The twins stand there in a quiet shock as their fortune grew.

"I'll think of a more suitable reward for next time.

Just finished part 2 and I must say, I can't wait to see part 3 if there's gonna be one!

Tumblr is being really broken to me and won't let me post the story, one hot second

[godonthetraintracks]

do emmet and ingo ever just. sit down and talk it out? or is that something ingo avoids out of sheer terror

Ingo is still having a hard time adjusting, and Emmet is reaching his limit. Hopefully he and Akari can figure something out soon...

***DO NOT TAG AS SHIP***

[Image ID: A greyscale comic without panels. In the first image, Emmet is attempting to talk to Ingo, who looks nervous.

Emmet, cheerfully: "Hello, Ingo! I see that you are going somewhere. May I come with?"

Ingo: "Oh, uhhhh... well, this is official Warden business, Emmet... Perhaps you can come along next time?"

Emmet: "Oh, sure!"

Emmet, later, looking more unsure of himself: "Um... hey Ingo, could I talk to you about something?"

Ingo, looking away: "I'm afraid I am preoccupied at the moment with... tasks. Perhaps we could connect at a future stop?"

Emmet: "O-okay..."

Emmet, looking dejected: "Ingo...?"

Ingo, whipping around to walk in the other direction: "Oh! I think I just heard Clan Leader Irida calling! If you will excuse me..."

Emmet: "...Right."

Emmet stands alone, tearing up and looking very unhappy.

Second Image. Akari approaches Emmet, who has his head down.

Akari, lighthearted: "Hey, Emmet. What'cha up to? Looking for something on the ground?" Emmet sniffs. Akari realizes something is wrong. "Wait... Are you crying? Hey, what's wrong?"

Emmet suddenly realizes she's there, and whips around to face Akari: "Ack-! O-oh! Hi, Akari! I am fine! Nothing is wrong! Tooooootally fine, yup. W-why do you think otherwise?"

Akari looks entirely unconvinced, and gives Emmet a disapproving look.

Akari: "Wow. You know, for a guy who's always smiling, that was amazingly unconvincing."

Akari sits down next to Emmet, and raises a hand nonchalantly. Emmet looks down at her with his arms crossed, looking unsure.

Akari: "Well. You certainly don't have to talk to me about anything Uncle Emmet-" Emmet interjects with a small "U-uncle Emmet...?", "-but I'm here if you want."

Third Image. A closeup of Emmet with a strained smile on his face, only one eye visible. Akari says: "Why don't you talk to Ingo about it?"

Emmet turns back to Akari, sniffling: "I-I can't... No. Ingo does not want to talk to me. Ingo does not want to see me."

Akari: "Really? ...So that's why you're upset?"

Emmet, eyes downcast: "...Yeah. It's just... none of this is what I wanted. None of this is what I imagined would happen..."

A poster of Ingo can be seen, taped to a wall. Above his head "MISSING" is written in unown lettering.

Emmet: "Ever since my brother went missing 5 years ago, I've spent practically every day looking for him."

The missing poster is seen again, but now faded and peeling away from the wall. It's obviously been there for a long time.

Emmet, continuing: "...Long after everyone else stopped looking. I became willing to do anything," A pre-transformed Emmet can be seen looking up at Arceus, "Anything, just to see him again... And I made a mistake."

A side view of Emmet can be seen, with a somewhat manic smile and obvious tears in his eyes: "Even so, I thought... "It will be okay. I will get to see Ingo again. So everything will be okay."

Emmet's smile drops, and he holds one hand to his face, the other going to his chest: "But... It's NOT okay. Nothing is okay!" Emmet sniffles and sobs through his words. "I am so far from home. I do not like it here. Everywhere I go I am called 'Almighty Sinnoh' or 'Arceus'. I am not the Almighty Sinnoh. I am not Arceus. I am Emmet. I am the Subway Boss of Nimbasa City..." Emmet sniffles. "I am A Subway Boss, together with Ingo. But Ingo does not remember me... He does not believe me when I tell him we are a two-car train."

Emmet rubs his right eye, tears streaming down the left side of his face. He raises his lower arms in a pleading gesture.

Emmet: "Why, Akari? Why doesn't he believe me? I-I've sacrificed so much..." He pauses, sobbing, "Just to be here... and it hurts. This body is s-so painful... It's hard to get up in the morning... hard to stand, sometimes... I am not meant to be like this." Emmet sniffles. "But I get up anyway. Because I am just so happy to see Ingo again. But he does not want to see me. I mean nothing to him now."

Akari looks saddened, muttering "Emmet..."

Last image. Akari scoots over to Emmet, wrapping her arms around him and giving him a tight squeeze, surprising him.

Akari, looking downwards: "Emmet... I have no idea how you must be feeling, but... I think I might know how Uncle Ingo feels... I don't remember where I came from very well either, and I don't know if I would recognize the people who were most important to me right away... The idea of forgetting something like that is really scary..."

She looks up at Emmet with a small smile on her face, trying to be reassuring: "So, um... be patient with him, alright? Ingo, I mean. It seems like you two were really close, so there's no way he's forgotten you forever. And, I bet if you took him back to wherever you two came from, he'll remember something! So... I'll help you figure out how to get back there. Maybe we'll find a way to get your old body back, too! And maybe I'll remember something..."

Emmet looks at Akari with a slight smile, grateful: "Akari..."

He envelops Akari in a four-armed hug, returning the gesture.

Emmet: "Thanks, kiddo..." /.End ID]
