#aso (vrains)

based off of a funny proposal meme I saw ages ago and no longer have the reference for

[kcuf-ad]

I hate that we never hear Faust's real name in the dub.

Maybe it was said, but I really don't know because how do you go from Aso to Alec?

I mean I don't mind the dub change, at least it isn't something like Roken or Vizor.

Okay so a weird thing about being a Green Day fan is that I associate every member of any trio with a Green Day member and I have to say...

Genome is very Tré coded.

Giving Yugioh Characters Pokemon that i KNOW they’d have Pt. 1

AKA LAVS YUGIOMON AU

Ty @baddyzarc for most of the yugioh sprites I used to make this post literally using your account when ever I need sprites for these guys 🙏

If grammars ass I know, pls don’t @ me

Spectre-

If you’re friends with me then you should already know he is gonna be on the list first, and if you watched Vrains and if you know Spectres character then you can already guess the type of Pokemon his team would mostly consist of.

The Trevenant is his first member of his team and his oldest member that’s been with him since he was an infant. When little spectre was left alone to his mother tree he just so happened to be left within the forest Trevenant resides in and looks over. Shocked to see the infant left by itself by the roots of one of his oldest trees, Trevenant had practically assimilated himself into a grandfather like role for Spectre. (Specter’s mother tree is a single mother she deserves someone to help her 😤lol)

Torterra is the second member, he had known Spectre when he was little and he was a small Turtwig. Would play with him whenever he would come and visit from the orphanage. During the lost incident he had evolved into a Grotle and attempted to keep Trevenant calm while Spectre was missing despite missing him too

When ryoken finds him I can imagine Trevenant and Grotle following the two to where they live and Faust/Aso will give him pokeballs so they can be with Spectre properly! (but also because Kyoko is just done being jumpscared by Trevenant 24/7… He just wants to help her look after his boy :>)

Next up is Appletun, I Could imagine a younger Spectre and Ryoken playing with Grotle eventually evolved Torterra on his back. In Torterras Official Pokédex entry “Small Pokémon occasionally gather on its unmoving back to begin building their nests.” So a scenario i can imagine is the two of them finding small Pokemon on Torterras back and even Two small Applins that the two of them caught and looked after together.

The Appletun is a very gentle sweetheart and is quite the sloth that prefers to nap in nice sunny spots. I’m just imagining Spectre just crouching down with Appletuns food in hand and just patiently waiting for the little guy to come to him imagine appletuns little slow but soft pitter patter footsteps 🥺 (I mean look at Appletuns speed stat, lil guy slow 😭)

At first I Felt Gardevoir would be more fitting for Spectre since the two of them are similar in terms of Devotion and Loyalty and Have Gallade go to Ryoken but I decided to switch it around (I’ll go into more detail on Ryokens part)

I like to think Spectre keeps an extremely close eye on his Pokemons health (Especially Trevanants…) And I like the idea of Spectre trying to Dote on his Gallades health and exercise and for his Gallade to get a little shy and embarrassed because of it, Hehe. Also Gallade would love Spectres Sunvine Thrasher, it’s just a fact. Gets upset if he sees it destroyed in a duel. It’s adorable ^^~ he summons it to the duel and all of a sudden Gallades not in his pokeball

The Seedot and The Shiny Phantump would be his most recent Pokemon

I could imagine as he got older and would visit the tree stump of his mother tree he one day found the little seedot there. Either the small seedot would shyly follow Spectre while also staying hidden, or Spectre would befriend the little guy, either option is adorable and correct

I could also Imagine something similar for the Shiny Phantump (The reason I specifically see Spectre having a Shiny Phantump, I mean cmon it should be obvious I don’t think I need to explain it, it’s literally perfect)

Trevenant is very Emotional attached to the tiny Phantump, Grandpa tree gets flashbacks to baby Spectre and is having 🌟Sentimental Feelings🌟

The little Phantump is very shy and gets scared easily and is almost always floating next to his shoulders, likes to just hide/snuggle there while he duels. If Spectres not dueling Phantump would just like to rest in one spot and just hold the cards and either stare at the art or just hold them. It’s like watching a kid hold their favorite stuffy, said stuffy being a card but—

A little seedot on one side of Spectres shoulder and a little Phantump hiding behind the other omg Brb gonna cry-

Ryoken-

What do ya’know! It’s mostly Dragons, who would’ve guessed?! Ok but on a serious note Despite his team looking like something a seven year old would make, just let mama cook mk?

Ok I had to have Ryoken come after Spectre so I can talk about the Gallade and Gardevoir thing, His Gardevoir is his first ever Pokemon. He had her when she was just a small Ralts long before the lost incident as a gift from his Dad. He would carry the small Ralts everywhere, where ever you found a small Ryoken you were gonna find a small Ralts there too. She’d evolve into a Kirlia when he’s 8.

Remeber during the lost incident Ryoken literally HEARD the kids his father took and experimented with? The scene we get of 8 year old Ryoken curled up and covering his ears? Go to Ralts , Kirilia, and Gardevoirs Official Pokédex Entry these Pokemon are known as the Feeling Pokemon, The Emotion Pokemon, and the Embrace Pokemon. Imagine seeing the chipper and sweet adventurous boy you were with go through the things Ryoken went through and the man that brought you to said boy is the reason behind it? That’s Kirlia’s POV , Yeah? Imagine little baby Ryoken curled up with his kirlia, now you’re crying with me.

A Pokemon like the Gardevoir evolution line would be a fitting Pokemon wanting to stay by Ryokens side and would be Ironic in a way Considering Fairy type Pokemon are the ultimate weapon against Dragon type Pokemon.

I could see her evolving into Gardevoir some time after Ryoken makes the call to end it all. She’s determined to stay by his side and care for him and try her best to help Ryoken the best the Pokemon could do like a doting older sister after everything that’s happened

Also his Ability to summon Data Storms by hand reminds me of the fact Gardevoir will make a small black hole to protect their trainers, and his vrains Avatar reminded me of Gardevoirs design from the colors, the flowy skirt-like cape, to the headset covering his face. I’m not a big fan of of it but I like to think for this AU I’ll only like it cause I’m gonna make an excuse that he wanted to match with his first ever Pokemon partner

The reason Spectre has a Gallade could be because it was a gift for Spectre as he made him his right hand man during the beginning of his whole knight of Hanoi thing. Since I’d sometimes see Gallade portrayed as Gardevoirs knight amongst the fans and the media. Fitting, no?

Now for the second Pokemon it’s gonna be the Flapple and the Garchomp. Back to what I said with Spectres Part, Both him and Ryoken had an Applin but his evolved into a Flapple due to the apple being tart, and the Flapple is a little shit that’s constantly causing fights.

I like to imagine when Ryoken was maybe around 10-13 he and the others had to go and look for Flapple cause it was out causing mischief, turns out Flapple had spit his Acidic Liquid inside a lil gibles hole in the ground and are now fighting. Flapple, the little shit that he is, saw it as a fun game while the poor little Gible was practically crying while throwing attacks at the flapple cause look! The poor little guys head hurts 😞

So with Ryoken being Flapples trainer and taking responsibility for what his little shit of a Pokemon did they take the Gible to Kyoko to fix up the little guys burn scars (Not without bite marks on their arms and fingers though)

After the treatment and befriending Ryoken you will never not see the two fighting and bickering, even after Gible eventually evolves into Garchomp, Flapple is still gonna pick fights with him and pretty much spit acid into his eyes to get him to fight. The fights usually end with Garchomp running to Ryoken crying about Flapple being a meanie. (While said Flapple cuddles up to Spectres Appletun acting as the worlds most innocent little thing 😇)

Is it bird? Is it a plane? NO! It’s Ryoken on the back of his Salamence! You’ve heard of dueling on motorcycles AND you’ve heard of dueling on Duel Boards but get ready for…Dueling on Pokemon! Y’know that scene where Yusaku watches him ride on the back of his monster during his whole link sense scene in season 1? Yeah that scene but he’s on his Salamence. The knights of Hanoi use Genesects, Ryokens using a DRAGON

I placed Dragapult and Salamence in his team solely because of Borrel Load Dragon if I’m being honest. They could be Given to him by his father when he goes after the Ignis. You already KNOW the dreepys are nipping and pulling at his bangs and his little hair tuft that’s on the top of his head that reminds me of a happiny

Maybe post Canon I could see him racing Dragapult while riding Salamence just to see them have fun

Now the last little gremlin, Hydreigon, I felt was fitting due to the Pokédex entry stating. “It’s said that Hydreigon grew ferocious because people in times long past loathed it, considering it to be evil incarnate and attacking it relentlessly.” Ryokens dueling and strategies are Brutal to a T we all know that

Hydreigon to me seems like a very fitting Pokemon he would use when hunting for the ignis. Get to the Duel between him and windy: “GET YO F***ING DOG BIH” “She don’ bite” literally everyone watching- “YES SHE DO!!!”

Also I’d just like to make note his Hydreigon is a She and her name is Heidi and she’s a special spoiled little princess 👍

Yuzu-

Yuzu’s here to sing! Cause Dueltaining and Pokemon Showcases are her thing! I can Totally see her being a Pokemon Performer and Coordinator while also being a Dueltainer! She’s multitasking and multitalented!

When she was born I could imagine her dad Gifting her Pokemon as a surprise for her, and he would take into great care and consideration for each one he would search for. He took such good care of finding her perfect Pokemon partners that some of them are just a bunch of Mini Yuzus mimicking bits of her personality and a few of her mannerisms!

Her Dad got her an Audino as a way to help him make sure she’s healthy and happy. She usually stays at home to tend for the chores and the food. No one makes sweets as good as Yuzus Audino, and that fact is Sora tested and approved!

Very nurturing and motherly to Yuzu but only for Yuzu! Y’know how Yuzu would wack Yuya with her feather fan? Yeah picture that but with yuzus dad and Audino. Nagging her father is probably her second favorite thing to do, her first? Styling Yuzus hair of course! Loves to wear matching accessories together with her, if Yuzu were to keep a hairstyle Audino did for her while dueltaining? She’ll be bouncing all over the place in excitement and happiness!

Her Vivillon Loves to flutter around and dance with Yuzu during duels whenever her melodius monsters take center stage! Hates being in her pokeball and prefers playing pretend as a bow on the back of Yuzus head while she’s at school or dueltaining, has she gotten in trouble for it? Sometimes yeah, but Vivillon doesn’t bother anyone so the teachers will allow it. (Though they do try to get her into her pokeball during exams. Keyword, try.)

Be careful on avoiding Vivillons bad side if you don’t want her to blast you in the face with a Bug Buzz (*ahem*sylvio*ahem*) This Lovely Bug DOES NOT like him one bit, if he’s not getting harassed one way or another by Vivillon? Straight to the hoptal because something’s not right ☝️ I mean I’m not gonna sugarcoat it, all of Yuzus Pokemon hates Sylvio they leave it to Vivillon though cause she just downright despises him

Her Altaria is quite the gentleman though and very easy going, and is the the only male Pokemon in Yuzus team. He will always be humming and singing a tune for anyone and everyone who will listen especially for Yuzu, when ever Soprano the melodious Diva takes center stage in a duel Altaria will make his appearance, ready for a duet! He loves performing, this bird was MADE for the spotlight and he’s never shying from it!

Yuzu takes extra attention over his coat, it’s fluffier and shinier then a Wooloos and he takes great pride and joy with it! Loves it when yuzu would use his coat as a makeshift pillow, anyone else were to try (or god forbid get candy in it *Ahem* *ahem*) you’ll get blasted with Dragons Breath that’s for sure

Lurantis is Yuzus most spoiled and Sassy Pokemon, she’s had her ever since she was a little Formantis who would throw the most hectic tantrums if not left alone to sunbathe in her little pot.

Lurantis is not the best with other people and is quick to cut them down a few pegs if they were to say or look at yuzu and her other Pokemon funny. Loves to show off during performances and battles as she takes great pride in her appearance and strength, but will slice your hand off if you try to touch her and aren’t yuzu! You can look but no touching! Or you’ll lose the ability to touch!

But she seems to really like yuya? How Strange, she’s constantly trying to cuddle up to him (somebody help him he doesn’t wanna get sliced up)

Skitty is another stay at home Pokemon who Yuzu found alone and abandoned in a box! She isn’t exactly the brightest one in her team, but this silly derpy kitty is adored by Yuzu and her other Pokemon so does it matter? After all out of all the Pokemon the little skitty is probably the most adored Pokemon in Yusho Duel school and all she Does is nap and chase around her own tail!

Has any work gotten done whenever skitty came over to visit? No. Has everyone kinda just duel eachother to see who gets to spend the most time with her? Yes. Did they get assaulted by the Yuzu Fan afterwards? Also yes. Was skitty napping during it all? Indeed she was, indeed she was…

Now the Flabebe wasn’t hers originally she was a gift from Masumi/Julia. Yuzu takes great care over Flabebe and will panic and freak out if the smallest thing were to happen to her. Her and Masumi/Julia will get teased by there friends saying that Flabebe is like there kid, those same said friends gets punched in the face and wacked in the head later but still-

Flabebe is so shy and meek and poor thing will just get scared over anything tends to stick by close to Yuzu, Audino, and Lurantis the most. It’s an important rule in Yusho that Flabebe is NEVER allowed to be alone when out of her pokeball!!

Wants to be able to perform with yuzu and the others but is just to scared to go on stage, maybe one day she’ll find the strength?

Leo and Luna-

The twins were very simple and easy to decide for! They obviously had to have matching Pokemon while also having their own unique Pokemon. Now you might be wondering, Why the hell is Entei and Suicune here?! Let’s work our way up first!~

Plusle And Minun are Pokemon I could see being with the twins since infancy! Their designs and color schemes are practically matching like they were made to be there Pokemon!

Leo and Luna are always cheering for each other whenever they need one another and are always cheering for the people they care about and you already know Plusle and Minun are joining in on the cheer!

I could totally see Leo and Luna on their Duel Boards with Plusle and Minun sitting on the board with them with their own tiny little matching helmets

Speaking of matching, The Twins Meowstic Duo are not to be taken lightly. they were given to the twins to act as a sort of caretakers/Babysitters. They are both protective of the two despite not actually being the twins Pokemon. The male Meowstic is constantly on the worry over the Twins safety to the point it’ll overthink even the tiniest scenarios

The female Meowstic is the level-headed one and keeps the male Meowstics head from exploding with his over thinking, she’s constantly throwing people out windows with her psychic ability if she deems that person as a threat. Or if she’s just bored and deems the person annoying- It happeneds so often that if they go through a week without someone being tossed out a window at least once? They Rush straight to whatever Pokemon center there is nearby in a panic.

The only person she won’t ever throw out a window though? Yusei. Is the male Meowstic jealous? Big Time

Leo and Lunas Scorbunny and Pichu were actually the first Pokemon they caught on their own.

Leo had caught Scorbunny when he was with Jack, Crow, Bruno, and Yusei. The wild rabbit Pokemon was actually giving the group trouble when they were trying to fix up one of their duel runners outside.

It would steal tools they needed and would make them all chase him around. Pokemon and trainers were running around and crashing into eachother like headless chickens trying to catch that rabbit!

It was like something out of a looney tunes episode or a Tom and Jerry episode. Leo, Annoyed by the Scorbunny at first, soon was able to befriend him later on since the two of them were pretty similar in terms of personality. Scorbunny and Leo are very competitive with eachother, they’ll turn anything into a competition with one another.

Their longest and still running competition is who can Annoy Luna the most.~

Luna and her Pichu actually met under different circumstances, she was out with Akiza when the two of them found the little Pichu knocked out sick and injured and on her own. Akiza and Luna were both understandably worried for the Small mouse Pokemon as they rushed to get her to the nearest Pokemon center. Nervous for the little Pokemon, Luna had wanted to visit Pichu constantly while it was at the Pokemon center and would constantly call them for updates on her health.

Luna made the entire 5Ds team sign a get well soon card for the little Pichu as well as some of her other friends (Do you think Yusei went to Kalin/kiryu to sign it as well yes or no?) When the little Pichu is healthy again everyone in 5Ds encouraged Luna to take Pichu as her own Pokemon since this Pichu doesn’t have anyone else that cares for her like Luna Does, when Luna had asked, the Pichu had happily agreed!

Luna is always carrying her around, was so excited when she got her she even showed off to ancient fairy Dragon! I like to think for this AU crossover Pokemon can see Duel spirits since their another form of monsters in this world.

Now that I’ve brought that up let’s get onto Entei and Suicune shall we? Now Leo and Luna don’t actually have them in their team but they are friends with the two. Entei is pretty much the Reagulus of this AU my idea for this is based off a Pokemon movie I loved when I was little back in the 2000’s “Pokemon 3 the Movie: Spell of the Unown” where Entei took one look at an orphan girl who’s parent’s were abducted and went “Is anyone gonna parent that?” And did not wait for a response (I know it wasn’t the real Entei but shhhh it was a sweet movie and is my favorite pokemon movie so let me be delulu over Dad-tei)

Anyways, Entei and Ancient Fairy Dragon are friends who are in the middle of a custody battle over Luna!!! I feel Like Suicune would come to Leo during the illiaster arc, but it could be a funny scenario if after Entei just yoinks Luna as his he tells Suicune “Dude HOLY SHIT get a kid these guys ROCK!” From legendary to legendary-single-dad pipeline with Pokemon and kids is real ya’ll and it’s SUPER EFFECTIVE!!! TO ANY AND ALL TYPES!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🦅🦅🦅

Originally I was gonna give Leo Raikou since he’s Loud and Boisterous like thunder but then I took a moment too look at the Pokédex entries for the three.

Entei is fitting for Luna in terms of color scheme and his Pokédex entry states “Entei embodies the passion of magma.” Luna is passionate over her friends and family and they mean the absolute world to her, she’s only a child but made a promise to a powerful dragon to help save another world. Luna is a remarkable and passionate kid for her age so her and Entei would be a formidable duo

Suicune is fitting for Leo as well in terms of his color scheme and his Pokédex states “Suicune embodies the compassion of a pure spring of water.” Leo’s a compassionate kid without a doubt he’s there for his sister when she needs him at the most important moments and he cares greatly for others just as much as his sister does. Suicune would have high respects for Leo and it would consider him as a reliable ally

Now Raikou’s Entry states “Raikou embodies the speed of lightning.”

Hmm I wonder who’d be good for Raikou? Perhaps…The Master of Faster himself? It would make The duel between Aporia and three of them interesting 😉 maybe I’ll add more in Pt.2 hehe

Gongenzaka-

“Hey lav, why does Gong only have 4 Pokemon?” You think the heavy strong style needs to over fill your team to the max limit? Fool!! Gong doesn’t need six Pokemon! His four Pokemon was trained to be the absolute best and can beat your team of six any time any day!!! 💪

Real talk though I couldn’t get myself to figure out what a team of six would look like for Gong for a variety of reasons. I know there could be a bunch of fighting type Pokemon I could slap in and call it a day but I want the Pokémon I chose to be fitting for the characters I assign them with when you take a first look. Not only that but for some I want their Pokémon to share similarities to the cards and monsters they use in duels

I’m taking this whole thing way to seriously buts that’s what I do babygirl, for me I can see Gong being the type who’d focus on a handful of Pokemon he’d bring their greatest strength out of.

Yuzu is a Pokemon performer/coordinator and Gong is definitely a gym trainer from a fighting Type gym his family owns, the Heavystrong style not only applies to dueling but battling as well! He isn’t the gym leader yet but he’s working hard to become a strong one trainers can look up to with respect.

His Hariyama has been with Gong since he was little and Hariyama was just a small Makuhita, they would train together non-stop while Gong was growing up. Since they were kids if Yuya would get bullied Gong would chase them off and you’d see Makuhita with Yuya.

Similar to Gong, Hariyama is a gentle giant. you’ll almost always see him looking after the small Pokemon and the kids, they either hang on his shoulders or he’d carry them carefully in his hands. Out of all the Pokemon in the Arc v squad Hariyama is the calmest

Emboar is also a Pokemon that’s been with Gong when he was little, but as a Pignite in his family’s Gym. he was stubborn and not a single Gym Trainer was able to gain Pignites respect, if you’ve watched the Pokemon series and know about Ash Ketchums Charizard that was Pignite with the trainers.

During battles he wouldn’t listen to a single command, to the more unsavory trainers- he’d set them on fire. The trainers in the Gym practically dreaded working with Pignite, Gongs Dad aka the leader of the Gym did not want to see this continue further so he assigned Pignite to Gong in hopes it’ll be a good lesson for him

And a lesson it was, for the both of them! Of course Pignite acted the same with gong at first, but along the line they’ve grown to develop a strong respect for one another and have come to rely on each other, especially after he evolved into Emboar. Although they respect each other Emboar is still a tease and a bit of a bully to Gong sometimes the others. Despite being Gongs Pokemon, Emboar enjoys playing around with Sora.

You can probably catch the two of them roasting marshmallows and eating s’mores together as if they’ve known each other all their lives. The Duo is understandably known as “Gongs Headache” …at least Hariyama is there to help out. They could need all the help they can get though-

Throh and Sawk are Pokemon that are mandatory to have if you were to be a trainer in Gongs Family Gym. Not much could be said about Throh, in terms of personality he’s similar to Hariyama- to an extent. In fact Throh has a slight “anger management problem” he’s quick to anger and is easy to piss off. Say hello to Emboars favorite victim everybody, if you ever see a giant fire pig flying through the air Being chased by the students of Yusho, you’ll know who was in a bad mood that day. Oh wait— there goes Sora…

The only people Throh tolerates is Gong, his Dad, and…Yuzu? Apparently? Likes giving her head pats and teaching her Judo moves.

Meditite is his most recent Pokemon and was the only pokemon who had nothing to do with Gongs Gym. Meditite was a wild Pokemon that watched Gong Duel, He was impressed by Gong thinking he was the coolest! Would follow him around quietly and just watch him. I feel like Gong would find Meditite observing his cards one day that’s how he’d find out about the small meditation Pokemon.

Since then Meditite will always be Meditating on Gongs shoulder during Duels and his dueltaining performances. You’ll always see Meditite on Gongs shoulder, Gong’ll sometimes meditate with Meditite when The days been extra hectic, Maybe Hariyama will join in too! Not Emboar though…Throh tossed him into the ceiling…

Aoi/Skye Zaizen-

As soon as I had the idea to make this AU, these Pokemon for Aoi/Skye came to me like a prophetic vision. When I think of my sweet lonely girl Aoi as a Pokemon trainer I don’t think of the Competitive trainers or the Trainers who wish to perform despite being a Celebrity duelist herself.

I’m talking about those cozy trainers that show Pokemon of what they also are, Companions. Trainers who will relax all cozy and comfy at home with their Pokemon cuddling close to them, Cooking and baking and enjoying tasty treats and foods with them, playing with pokemon, just simple wholesome companionship and comfort within one another

When I played both Sword and Shield I always had my entire party on Max Friendship with me so during battles when they do something like: “Sora the inteleon Toughed it up so you wouldn’t feel sad!” Or “Palm Palm the venasaur remebers the first time it met you” AND ID BALL MY EYES OUT EVERYTIME, That’s Aoi to me as a Pokemon Trainer.

She wants companions, friends who are their to let her know she’s not alone, so her Pokemon would be EVERYTHING to her. She’d probably prefer to leave them in her home out of their Pokeballs so they can be free to play but also remain in a safe location without harm.

Her Mimikyu has been with her the longest. I was mainly inspired by the doll I’d see Little Aoi carry around during her childhood flashbacks with her and Akira. How I see it happening, a little Mimikyu alone and by itself with no friends to call it’s own stumbles upon a little girl with no parents and the only person she has is her brother with no friends to call her own either. An unexpected yet perfect companionship

Akira is constantly trying to shoo the Mimikyu away knowing what’ll happen to his sister if she accidentally looks underneath the cloth of the Ghost type Pokemon, his sister is the only thing keeping him going he’s not gonna let a ghost type come near his sister and he definitely not gonna let this ghost type taker her away from him! (Spectre and Ghost gal: 👀..)

But the little Mimikyu will not listen, Aoi wants to be friends with Mimikyu and Mimikyu wants to be friends with her too! Older brothers rules be Damned! (Platonic Romeo and Juliet FR FR) Mimikyu will constantly follow the Zaizens around in the shadows, probably making funny shapes in the shadow for Aoi to laugh at. Technically, because of Akira, Mimikyu won’t be Aois officially until AFTER season 1 when he finally gets her a Pokeball for Mimikyu and he doesn’t need to hide from Akira anymore

Did Mimikyu hug Akira so dangerously tight that day? Yes, yes he did. Did Akira break a rib? Hehe… atleast the Zaizens are rich right?…

I also like to make note Mimikyu is known as the “Disguise” Pokemon who disguises himself as a Pokemon thats loved by all and Aoi disguises herself through an avatar of a character that’s loved by all.

Case closed, Next question

Ah, the Ralts, Adorable, sweet, precious little Ralts. I just had to give Aoi a ralts or I wouldn’t forgive myself if I didn’t. The rest of some of these pokemon are gonna be gifts from Akira and little Ralts is the SHYEST Little guy you will ever meet.

Poor thing is always hiding behind someone he trusts. If he wasn’t hiding behind Aoi he’s hiding behind Akira. Don’t tease him, even if it’s the affectionate kind, he’ll cry. When Emma met Ralts she kept saying things like “Who is this little cutie?” And just trying to get him to like her. Ralts cried and climbed up Akiras legs so fast and clinged to him like his life depended on it

Emma’s feelings were hurt immensely that day.

Speaking of clingy, Ralts needs to be holding at least one hand of the other pokemon Aoi or Akira has. OR- he needs to cling and be carried by either Zaizen. There is no debate on this. It’s is a mandatory universal law.

One of the Pokemon Ralts is always clinging to is Aois Cleffa and Marill! The two are bubbly, fun and always filled with energy! Aoi doesnt need an alarm clock cause Cleffa is always up and early running to wake her up and jump on her belly! Hurry up Aoi get up so she can play! Marill is a sweetheart who’ll help Aoi get ready for the day, She needs her tooth brush? Marills got it! Can’t find a missing sock? Marills found it! Gonna play video games? Marills bringing the snacks!

The two of them are very much the equivalent of a hyper active toddler if I’m going to be honest, they love to play and they can’t sit still at all! Something I could see commonly happen is Aoi sitting on the floor bouncing a ball around with Cleffa and Marill going to catch the ball and bring it back to her to toss again while Ralts and Mimikyu sits in her lap, happy to just watch.

Another Pokemon who’s gonna be sitting with miss Aoi? Why her Sobble of course! Sobble is a Pokemon Aoi found herself and took in, though it did take a while for her too do so. How I see it happening is she finds the Sobble hiding on her schools campus during a rainy day. The small Sobble is scared of her at first, cause well.. it’s a Sobble it’s gonna be scared ^^”.. but over time I can see Aoi bringing treats and snacks for the little Sobble and in a couple of weeks the little Sobble begins to look forward to Aoi visiting.

I feel like Sobble gets his own Pokeball and becomes an official member of Aois “Team” on the same day Akira gets her a pokeball to keep Mimikyu. If you thought Ralts was clingy, Sobble is worse he only clings to Aoi and will sit on her head or shoulder when ever he can. Needs to sleep in the same bed as her, and to be fair all of her small Pokemon sneak in the same bed as her to sleep together so it’s not just him. They all have their own brand of clingy, it’s adorable!

Now you might be wondering, “Hey, Lav what’s up with the Primarina?” Well wonder no more! As I will now explain Aois Primarina!……..She doesn’t belong to Aoi! Tadaaaa! 🎉

Ok but real talk though, the Primarina is a friend of Aoi and Miyu. When Aoi met Miyu she also met the small Popplio that would follow Miyu everywhere, Miyus mother doesn’t like Pokemon so she wasn’t allowed too keep Popplio but would play with her in secret when she would play with Aoi as well. Mimikyu would join the girls and the four of them would play together. During the ring incident and When Miyu is taken by the Hanoi for the Lost incident Popplio had searched for Aoi hoping at least she was ok and stuck by her side in worry over Aoi after losing Miyu.

Akira offered to get a Pokeball for Popplio but Aoi refused, she wanted to care for her yes- But she firmly believes she’s meant to be Miyus Pokemon and stuck to taking care of her even when she evolved into a strong and healthy Primarina a part of them both believed that they’ll find Miyu again and she can be her Pokemon Properly, until then Aoi will care for her.

Takeru/Teddy-Boy-

Gee I wonder what type of Pokémon he’d have??? Hmmmm… Maybe water type Pokemon? For his avatars blue hair, yeah 😌

ANYWAYS- I just liked to make note 4 out of 7 of these Pokemon aren’t his, can you guess which of the four it is before reading the rest of this part?

Now then, he’s another boy whose family owns a Gym in this AU, his grandfather is the owner of a Fire type Gym (to no one’s surprise) from where he lives the gym is very old but still very popular by the locals. After the lost incident and having to live with his grandparents he becomes a favorite amongst all the people in the gym, Pokémon included

The Pokemon in the Gym want to be around him 24/7, sometimes 4 of his grandfathers Pokemon would sneak off and follow Takeru wherever he goes, doesn’t Matter where he is or how far away he is they’ll follow him.

His first Pokemon that’s actually his is his Arcanine, his dad got him a Growlithe as a birthday present when he was little and these two were attached to eachother by the hip.

You’ll always see the two racing and playing with eachother!they’re always gonna be outside, if the suns out they’re out! If the sky’s awake they’re awake so their gonna play! They only time they have ever been separated was during the lost incident, and it was agony for both of them.

During the months Takeru parents were out looking for him Growlithe would be searching with them along with his Parents Pokemon, they tried to get Growlithe to stay with his grandparents since he was just a puppy but he just couldn’t

He has to find Takeru, Takeru needs him so he’s not gonna stop searching until Takeru is safe with his family again. When Takerus Parents pass away during their search Growlithe is just in utter mourning.

Growlithe was in an absolutely pitiful state, even when Takerus grandparents and the Pokemon of Takerus Parents tried to tell Growlithe that they weren’t gonna find him he didn’t listen.

During his Mournful search I can see Growlithe evolving into Arcanine, his Desperation turned aggression.

After the lost incident, Arcanine is terrifyingly protective over Takeru and his family, constantly growling and snarling at anyone and everyone who he isn’t familiar with If they got to close to Takeru. Has bitten so many people who tried to go near him you have no idea.

Flat out REFUSES to be in his pokeball at all he left Takerus side for one day and almost lost him for good. He’s not making that mistake again thank you. Will be following him in link vrains everywhere it doesn’t matter what he’s doing.

Now the Pokemon Takerus Parents Had was the Ponyta and the Pyroar, the Ponyta was his Mothers and the Pyroar was his Father. They are very caring to Takeru and will listen to anything he may ask of them no matter what it may be.

Ponyta was always trying to play with Takeru in hopes to cheer him up, she misses his mother too but she doesn’t want her trainers son to be hurt the way that he is. She may not have been with his mother long but she cared deeply for her so she will care for her son in her place.

His Fathers Pyroar is quiet and a bit melancholic after the incident, he follows him around quietly wherever he goes in quiet unease. Pyroar had great respect for his father as he’s been with him since he was a small Litleo so Takeru feels like his son as well.

Sleeps by him or in the same bed as Takeru if he gets any bad Nightmares. Slightly overprotective when it comes to his health but it comes from an understandable and caring mindset.

The Houndour, Flareon, Cyndaquil, and Chikorita are Pokemon that are new memebers of his grandfathers Gym. They’re competitive with his attention and get in trouble all the time whenever they sneak off to follow him. It’s like watching a group of little brothers trying to impress their older brother.

If he’s out on a run these four are running after him, if he’s in a fight they want to join in and fight with him, if they can’t then they cheer loud and proud for him! During season Two when Takeru leaves to go help playmaker the four of them devised a plan to follow Takeru behind Kikus back! Road-trip! When they finally find Takeru again they practically Ambush Kolters Hot dog truck. Not a single hot diggitty-Dog was spared from the flames that day 😞

RIP The Hot dog truck, Went down in stunning flames 😞😭

Also someone save Ai and flame they are being treated as chew toys—

Go Onizuka-

Say hello to Go Onizuka celebrity Duelist and fighting type gym leader! Yup we got another Gym bro babygirls- this time it’s a Gym Leader! A little thing about the gore in this AU is that the team you see right here? Yeah it’s not a permanent team for Mr. Gore here y’all!

Of course they won’t be gone-gone The Gore love his pokemon all the same! They’ll just be in his gym helping the beginner trainers! You already know most of these trainers ar orphans he took in

This is his Season one team. His team is gonna change throughout the Seasons Except one, one Pokemon is staying by Gores side the entirety of it all! Can you guess who it is? Here’s a hint: The little guy is staring right at you along with Gore!

Figured it out?

That’s Right it’s his Kubfu!

Kubfu holds high respect for Gore and works hard to become an even Stronger Pokemon for him! Kubfu is always training and trying to perfect his martial prowess, though the little guy is pretty Naive and easy too fool..a Popular favorite with the kids Gore visits and looks after, even though Kubfu is scared of them 😅

You’ll see him be chased around in circles by the kids who want to play with him pretty often. Gore has a photo of Kubfu in messy glittery pink makeup and a frilly pink tutu being made to play princess tea party by the girls and he adores it. Kubfu is constantly trying to snatch his phone to delete it..Maybe someday little guy haha XD.

Machamp and Pangoro love teasing Kubfu, these two are like insufferable older brothers who like to pick on the younger ones but are absolute idiots.

Pangoro is pretty lazy whilst Machamps a bit of a showboat, but one thing they have in common is their idiocy and their constant need to get into petty fights with each other, They both get the hots for a pretty girl Pokemon? Fight. They both want the last poke puff? Fight. They want to show off to the fans to show them their cooler then the other? Fight.

The Only moments they agreed not to fight eachother In is during Battles with other Pokemon and when playing with the kids. Surprisingly they work extremely well together during team matches and follow Gores orders respectfully and easily.

Machamp and Pangoro have been with Gore the longest since the three of them were little. So following Gores orders is no problem for them. They Respect him greatly and treat each-other as if they were brothers despite being three separate species. Mess with one of them you mess with all of them type of dynamic! Their not gonna hesitate beating someone up for the other. No way sir!

A Pokemon that doesn’t listen to Gores orders? Mankey, he just wants to fight and doesn’t care who he has to fight and how he fights, strategy’s be damned. Mankey will throw attacks left and right so he’s pretty much the last Pokemon he let’s out during battles, luckily most battles end without him having too let him out. Although, to Gores surprise and gratefulness, Mankey is very quiet and calm around kids.

He doesn’t move or react much when they pick him up and play with him, in fact he seems to enjoy when the kids do. If the kids ask him to do something he’s gonna do it, doesn’t matter what it is. Though Gore and the others Wish he did cause now their are holes in the walls Mankey wtf—

Because of this Mankey is a popular favorite with the kids who like playing sports! They’ll argue and fight who gets to keep Mankey in their team to the point Gore has to make the teams for them.

Even though Gore loves his Pokemon and he loves the kids at the orphanage he just can’t let two of his Pokemon visit the kids. Grapploct himself doesn’t want much to do with those kids, he thinks they are loud and annoying and hates it when they grab at his suckers. Especially does not like the smaller ones and the grubby little cheese puff covered finger, get away from him kid.

Now, Hawlucha doesn’t hate the kids like Grapploct he just prefers the quiet when he’s not in battle and children are not quiet whatsoever.

He doesn’t think they’re annoying but he doesn’t have the Patience to deal with children. he doesn’t mind watching his trainer and companions play with the Pokemon, infact he enjoys watching them play together!

But he swear If one of these kids get candies in his feathers

Yusaku-

Once again 4 out of 6 of these Pokemon aren’t even his, they just like him. Bro passed the vibe check they were captivated by his autistic swa— you get the idea…

From my view point if Pokemon existed in the Yugioh world, Yusaku would love to be a trainer..i don’t mean the Yusaku in main storyline though, I’m talking about Pre-Lost incident/Hanoi project test subject Yusaku..

Yeah that sweet little kid with the cutest smile? Yeah…now you’re crying with me again

Overthink about this with me for a second, as of now when I make this post there is about 1,000 Pokemon. There should be dozens of Pokemon that would have found the lost incident kids instantly if you think about it, whether they were wild Pokemon or Pokemon that work with the police even a Pokemon that’s kept as a spoiled house pet would figure it out

If you were to ask me to list Pokemon off the top of my head that would find the lost incident kids in like a week or less I could probably give you like a handful of Pokemon that could with out having to do much research.

I could also list Pokemon off the top of my head that could prevent others from finding out.

So not only would little Yusaku lose his love for dueling but I feel like he’d develop a fear of Pokemon as well since they assisted the people who were harming him and it took them so long to find him. Aren’t Pokémon strong and capable of incredible things? Why did it take them so long to find him? Why did they help hurt him?

Now like the previous kids I mentioned I decided to give Yusaku Pokemon thats been with him before the lost incident so h wouldn’t be as afraid of them as other Pokemon after the incident.

His Lucario has been with Yusaku since he was a Riolu. They had a very wholesome brother like bond with one another, though Riolu was a bit of a bully.

He’d snatch things from Yusaku and have him chase him around to get it back, Yusaku never could catch him but Riolu would still give whatever he took back! Yes, he likes to tease him but he’s still gonna be nice to him!

Before the Lost incident Yusaku had problems keeping Riolu out of trouble since he was always causing fights with others. When Yusaku was taken away during the lost incident they had taken Riolu as well and held it hostage while Yusaku was kept in his separate room.

The only thing Riolu had in the dark room was the “Nutritional” food he was provided and Yusakus Aura, Riolu held its focus on Yusakus Aura like it was his lifeline. His heart was practically breaking when he felt the change in the boys Aura who he loved so much.

When it finally ended, Riolu had evolved into Lucario afterwards when it’s health improved. He was determined to act as Yusakus bodyguard and never continued his teasing.

He focuses on Yusakus Aura 24/7 if he ever felt it weaken slightly? He’s panicking and attacking anyone and everyone who keeps him from getting to Yusaku or whoever is getting too close to Yusaku.

Another Pokemon Thats been with him Pre-incident is Ceruledge, a wild ceruledge that had a soft spot for the kid and didn’t mind following around. He met Yusaku when he came across Riolu looking for a fight with him.

During the Lost Incident Ceruledge was very confused, where has the small child who would visit him gone to? Had he left with out telling him goodbye? After the incident and when he finds him again and learns of what happend to Yusaku Joins in Lucario on acting as a body guard for Yusaku.

Ceruledge is not showing any mercy to the knights of Hanoi Thats for sure.

Now remeber how I mentioned how the Knights of Hanoi Use Genesects? Like in Team Plasma? Well before meeting Kolter and when Yusaku was on his Revenge spree he had attacked a group of Hanoi Memebers outside of Vrains with Lucario and Ceruledge.

One of the Genesects the Hanoi memebers used hated their guts and thought Yusaku was interesting so this Genesect will be seen through out Pre-season 1 and season 1 just following him around

Yusaku: I told you to get lost already….

Genesect: 👁️👁️

Yusaku:…

The other three Pokemon were after he meets Kolter and Ai.

A Porygon had found the duo and took an interest in their codes. The porygon has decided to hide in their Database and played with their line of code, evolving it into Porygon2

Thinking they were attacked by the Hanoi Yusaku had did some digging and found the virtual Pokémon in his computer and it hasn’t left them alone since.

The next Pokemon who wasn’t gonna leave Yusaku Alone was Munchlax. The Hotdogs have Allured him and now will never leave the duo alone, Munchlax has been spotted following Yusaku to school hoping to steal his lunches. Shima has had the other students believe that the Munchlax is Yusakus, much to his displeasure.

The third one is Hatenna who finds his quiet disposition calming, Kolter and Ai tease him saying that the small little Hattena has a crush on him cause she’ll attack anyone but him. (She does XD)

Munchlax constantly wants to play with Hatenna, Hattena hates him. You will always see the two chasing each other around the hot dog truck with Munchlax thinking they’re playing and Hattena trying to kill him.

After Season one when Ai leaves and he gets his closure, He’s decides to buy three Pokeballs..wonder who it might be for?~

[authoratmidnight]

Honestly I think the Knights of Hanoi (or at least Vyra and Aso) are a bit more complex than people want to think about. At least regarding the scenario they wound up in early on.

Like, consider the following scenario.

You’re a young adult, barely 20 years old and still in medical school (med school takes a number of years to finish so she probably wasn’t done with it yet), practising to be a doctor, when a high ranking scientist at the biggest name corporation (or one of the biggest), in the area hires you and a colleague on to work for him. Or perhaps you (and said colleague) already know this man and have worked with him in the past on smaller things to the point of being almost family like with him and his young son.

This is a HUGE opportunity for you.

And then you find out what, exactly he’s doing and it’s, horrific. Cause, you know, it involves torturing  a bunch of kids. Or at least observing and monitoring said kids (which is probably why you’re brought on, cause you’re studying medicine and he trusts you).

Which leaves you with a serious problem.

If you report it, well that basically ensures you have NO future ever, in medicine or anything since you’d be implicating yourself in it.

And then there’s his son. If you DO go against him and it does all get brought to light, this kid is going to end up in foster care more than likely as all the adults around him are likely going to be taken away and put in jail indefinitely. And the foster system is not exactly, great (I mean Specter went missing for 6 months and no one cared). So you know, there’s that wrinkle in the whole thing, not wanting anything to happen to Ryoken.

It’s not made clear when they met Ryoken and Dr. Kogami, if it was before or after the start of the LI, but flashbacks show that Kyoko and Aso at least were close with Ryoken, to the point of seeing him like family (iirc they referred to him as being like a little brother to Aso and the shot of three of them together, Ryoken looked hella happy so they clearly cared for him).

And of course, that’s not even touching on the kind of power and influence the boss has. Best case scenario he covers everything up no one takes the fall. Worst case, he finds a way to pin the blame on YOU/your colleagues and gets away scott free.

(Plus he probably, constantly fed them the idea that if a few lives are sacrificed to save the world then it’s an acceptable loss-’the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few’, as it were)

There is no winning in this scenario. Like, none at all.

And while I can’t speak for Aso or Genome cause we don’t know about their situations, this is, from what we saw in canon, the situation Vyra was put in. She didn’t just wake up one day and go ‘I’m going to help torture some kids’. She got roped into it by someone she respected and was perhaps close to, while she was young and impressionable and easy to manipulate and ended up in a no-win, inescapable scenario that was going to end badly for someone.

Sure she could have ratted Kogami out when she realized what he was doing but, would it have done any good? As we saw, SOL managed to cover it up anyways and everyone got off more or less scott free.

If someone had tried to report it right from the beginning he would have known, or at least figured out that it was one of his employees that spilled the beans.

No it shouldn’t have been left to Ryoken to put a stop to it at 8 years old. But like, I highly HIGHLY doubt the situation was an easy one for them to put a stop to as well.

Also, like, you don’t think he would be monitoring them at all times just to make sure they didn’t???? Or using some kind of threat/bribe/blackmail (like the fact that if one of them spills the beans they’re all going on, cause newsflash, humans are selfish and sometimes self preservation wins out) to keep them silent and loyal. Heck, there could have been financial manipulation at play as well. med school isn’t cheap. For all we know, Kogami could have been helping her through it. If she turns on him, he’s going to stop paying and she won’t be able to finish. She’ll be screwed. But, that’s speculation, we just do not know b/c the show did not give us a lot of details about his relationship with the Knights/how or when he met them and get them to work for him.

Ryoken slipped past the radar b/c he was a young kid, and Kogami was probably banking on familial loyalty to keep Ryoken silent.

On that note, familial loyalty, that is something that is HUGE in Japan so like, if they were close with the Kogami’s before the LI, to the point of being like family, that’s another reason they’d be less inclined to turn on him. That’s the thing, we *don’t* know when Aso and Kyoko and Genome met Dr. Kogami and Ryoken. As and Kyoko at least knew him for longer than Genome and were closer to him/Ryoken at any rate. The flashback, since it lacks Specter, seems to indicate they probably met and became close before the events of the LI. I think it would be rather hard for Ryoken to develop close feelings for either of them had he met them then and was aware of what they were doing.

Dr. Kogami is a powerful, scary man working for a powerful scary company and if you think someone working under him could have easily just, spilled the beans on the LI, I think we watched two VERY different shows and I don’t think you understand how difficult it would be to go against someone in such a position of power over you.

From an outsider perspective it seems easy to say ‘well they should have just’ yeah, they should have, but I really don’t think it would have been that easy.

Im not saying they didn’t do horrible things, b/c they did no doubt about that. I’m just saying I don’t think the situation is as simple as saying ‘well they should have just done something’.

Has anyone stopped to consider that, maybe they couldn’t?

   Waking up on December twenty-fifth, was meant to be like waking up on any other day.

   For Spectre anyway.

   Seven years old, he was full of wonder and curiosity but not for Christmastime. He didn’t enjoy fried food, he didn’t like mushy-gushy romantic comedy movies for adults. He had never celebrated Christmas at the orphanage prior. Not enough money to go around to give the children more than colouring-in sheets and maybe a store bought card.

   And so, that date on the calendar, remained innocuous and boring just like any other day. 

   Until now.

   “Tada. Do you like it?” Ryoken asked.

   He held Spectre’s hand, guiding him down the stairwells of the minimalist monstrosity which was the Kogami Mansion and yet… The sun room was a cacophony of festive spirit. It was kitsch and bright. Christmassy. Full of red and green amid the otherwise dreary, white walls and furnishings of the mansion. Wreaths hung up on the window panes, ribbons and sashes dashed through the room, fairy lights twinkled, and then there was the centrepiece: a fir tree which had yet to be decorated but was still accompanied by various presents.

   Five of them, Spectre counted.

   Spectre was dumbfounded as he was led into the sun room by Ryoken. Music which was whispered in a silvery voice played from a speaker, inviting them closer. The smell of breakfast was cooking nearby from the adjoining kitchen. He heard Aso’s voice call out good morning above the sound of sizzling eggs and bacon, a waft of maple syrup and something else sweet, too, like pancake batter.

   “Good morning, sleepyhead.” Kyoko teased Spectre as she and Dr. Genome waited by the tree.

   “Indeed, probably the first child in existence to wake up well after the sun has risen on Christmas Day.” Dr. Genome mused, stroking his chin.

   “Well, um…” Spectre fumbled to explain his circumstances but he found himself at a loss for words, he was staring at the tree.

   Both adults and Ryoken picking up exactly on his thoughts.

   “We wanted to surprise you since its our first Christmas together, do you like it?” Kyoko asked.

   “Yeah, it’s, um, really…” Spectre continued to fumble in his awe.

   “I thought it was a waste of time, personally,” Dr. Genome added coldly and yet, in his own way, knew exactly how to diffuse Spectre’s shyness, “we don’t normally celebrate Christmas but the soft-touches insisted. So, you better enjoy or there won’t be one next year.”

   Spectre giggled. Dr. Genome’s more abrasive nature always amused him. Kyoko rolled her eyes and gave him a playful nudge - or jab - to the side. That, too, part of the comedy routine and banter they found themselves in.

   “Ignore that grinch, you two.” Aso’s voice called out. “It is a pleasure to celebrate like that, heaven knows we need it.”

   Ryoken nodded, lips pursed, in agreement to Aso.

   “Do you want your present now or do you want to decorate the tree first?” Kyoko asked gently.

   “I get a present?!” Spectre exclaimed.

   “Of course. You're my best friend, of course you get a present.” Ryoken laughed.

   Spectre blushed, his tummy squirmed. “I want the present first.” he admitted in a tiny voice.

   “Alright, you two first. We’ll open ours after breakfast whilst you two decorate the tree.” Kyoko decided.

   “Here you go.” Dr. Genome said.

   He picked up a box and handed it to Spectre.

   The tactile feel of the glittery paper was unusual on Spectre’s hands as he carefully admired the box, the yellow and silver wrapping, the twirly white ribbon. He gulped, gave it a shake and tried to guess or imagine what might be inside but he failed. He had never been given a gift like this, wrapped up so nicely and with something completely brand new inside. It was a lot for the little pauper.

   Unlike the prince beside him.

   Ryoken, meanwhile, had no reverence for his present, tearing it open as soon as Kyoko handed it to him. It, too, was done up in the same paper and ribbons as Spectre’s but Ryoken was far more interested in what was inside to stop and admire the wrapping. The paper was clawed away, left in shreds that glittered on the floor as he revealed a toy which had some assembly required written on the box which featured an actor in a masked costume with plenty of pleather and latex.

   “No way! This is the sword from Ranger Powers!” Ryoken gasped. That was the name of a television series that Ryoken was obsessed with, a tokusatsu aimed at tweens and teenagers rather than nine year old’s like him. 

   Encouraged, Spectre opened his present slowly and his eyes twinkled as the wrapping gave way to a boxed toy of his own.

   “Pure Dandelion’s sceptre…” Spectre gasped as he recognised the magical girl anime weapon. He liked the anime a lot but had never dreamed he would ever see merchandise of it beyond strolls through a shopping mall with Kyoko or the others.

   “I’m sure you two will have lots of fun chasing each other and bad guys this afternoon with these.” Dr. Genome laughed.

   “Can’t wait!” Ryoken grinned.

   They had played similar games of chase and role-play using sticks so it would be nice to have something extra and more in-character to use. It would hopefully warm by the afternoon, too. Being on the beach, it didn’t snow but the chill of winter still pervaded outside the foggy windows of the sun room transformed into a cheery hearth.

   “M-Me too.” Spectre replied feebly, his heart racing out of his chest as he brimmed with gratitude.

   A pause, and then Aso’s voice, “Breakfast is ready.”

   Spectre smiled, mouth watering and holding dearly onto the plastic wand encased in cardboard. He glanced through the room again, finally seeing a box of decorations for the tree and his excitement heightened further. This was only his first Christmas but he already knew it was going to be the best Christmas ever.

Random Vrains Headcanon: Genome has no fucking idea how to handle a child.

I think it would make sense since it was never mentioned that he took care of Ryoken along with Kyoko and Aso.

And also it just makes sense in my head. In my mind, he stays in his lab most of the time doing genetic research. Why would he need to take care of a kid?

He's probably only taken care of Ryoken alone a few times without Kyoko and Aso. And each time he has had no idea what to do.

[tastes-like-ciel]

I’m curious, where do you think Vyra and Faust factor in Ryoken’s childhood? Unlike Dr. Kogami they seem to regret their actions and actually care for Ryoken.

I didn’t mention them in my post where I dragged Dr. Kogami because they weren’t the focus of that particular relationship Ryoken has, but I do think they gave Ryoken some of the attention and love he needed as a child. It just wasn’t enough because they aren’t related, as far as we know, and Ryoken wanted his father in the end. 

Because children always want their parents. A parent is the first important person in a child’s life and having that parent reject you with a form of abuse is devastating and confusing. And then his father is taken away because Ryoken did what he thought was right and saved the other kids, so he had that weighing on his tiny shoulders as well. Still, it’s easy to see that Ryoken cares for those two. He was willing to break Vyra out of jail and risk exposing his identity, after all.

But they’re a complicated issue for me. I don’t hate them or find them irredeemable like I do with Dr. Kogami. I actually like Vyra and Faust I’m neutral on for the most part. It’s one of those things where there’s no real reason for it, I guess, but I suppose I just don’t really see them as evil people overall. Dr. Kogami, without a doubt, is, but these two I think there’s hope for redemption. I’d be willing to forgive them provided the victims did, but I still don’t hate them because, as you said, they did show remorse for their actions. The remorse doesn’t excuse what they did, but remorse is the first step and I think it’s worth giving them a chance to prove themselves.

Now with Ryoken, I do believe they’re fairly important people in his life, like as older siblings perhaps, but considering they were first and foremost Dr. Kogami’s assistants, I doubt they had much time to spend with Ryoken either. They aided with the torture of young children and knew what they were doing was wrong. I imagine seeing Ryoken, a child not much older than the other six, would have made them feel even more guilt. They might have avoided him some for that reason.

But here, Ryoken is huddled in on himself and is being given little head pats by Faust in a comforting gesture. Ryoken is probably upset in this scene because of his father and Vyra and Faust are just trying to cheer him up in some way. However bad their past actions were, they did do right by Ryoken. It’s clear from this flashback alone that they really love and care for him like he was their own younger sibling. They couldn’t really be what Ryoken needed and they had no reason to be or do anything for Ryoken because he’s not theirs in any sense and that’s not their responsibility, but they still stepped up and spent time with him. Judging from this, they took him places, comforted him at times he needed it, and gave him some of the love he was lacking from his father. He still would have been incredibly lonely from his father’s neglect, but I think he appreciates their presence in his life all the same. 

I don’t actually remember if it was said when this flashback takes place timeline-wise, but looking back at it now and thinking, this is probably post-Dr. Kogami’s arrest and this was simply them taking care of Ryoken in Dr. Kogami’s place. An eight-year-old child just can’t be left on their own like that and it makes sense why he’d be upset in this scene (because his father is gone and it’s his fault for tattling) while Vyra and Faust just quietly sit by his side and give him love instead of frantically trying to make him forget about the child experiments he found. They’re calm and not doing anything but comforting him, which is something people trying to hide a bad deed wouldn’t be in such a situation and considering the nature of the experiments, I doubt they would have had the time to do this anyway.

But someone would have had to take care of Ryoken once his father was taken into custody. The fact he wasn’t taken away and put into foster care or shipped off to another relative means he probably doesn’t have anyone else (which adds more fuel to the theory that his mother is either dead or he’s a test tube baby). Vyra and Faust stepped up to watch over him until either his father returned or he became old enough to take care of himself, is what I think happened. They’re loyal to Ryoken, probably more so than they were to Dr. Kogami. So, yes, definitely important figures in Ryoken’s life and his childhood in the sense that they were there when his father wasn’t.

[incorrect-vrains-quotes]

I like to think that: Specter ended up disappearing from the orphanage twice. Despite any attempts to cover up, there's no way there isn't a police cold case on him. I like to think that they stored all the worldly possessions of a 6 year old Specter in a cardbox box in the back of a storage warehouse somewhere. Things like artwork drawn by childish hands or a tiny jacket found in the woods. Lots and lots of depleted green and brown crayons. Maybe with some little twigs and stones glued on as an 'activity' because the orphanage had to save pennies and couldn't afford toys for each child. And Hanoi used all their skills and efforts to get this box in preparation for Specter's 20 birthday. Before the cold case would be reviewed as the case of a missing child becoming a missing adult. To destroy the records? To make sure the final traces of his youth were gone? To allow him to enter adulthood free of his childhood? Because on one of those pages those pages was gold. Genome inspected all the pages for any traces of usable material. Aso compiled guides on how to use the them. Kyoko gathered containers and supporting materials. Ryoken gave his permission to infiltrate the police office, risky as it would be, and personally finished boxing up all the work of the others.

For what?

A seed. A seed lightly lightly glued to a page of a small white haired boy sitting under a giant tree. A hope preserved in carefully climate controlled halls and buried under other missing memories. Waiting. His mother raised him, for the brief time she had, and with coming of age day, it would be his turn to return the favor.

Anon, I'm sobbing. I have nothing more to add other than this is absolute perfection, I love you.
