#bc iris' title is unova's champion the real fucking deal

[cheemken]

will you be adding Kieran in your next gen champs au?

he is technically champion level and became champion of the bb league

Probably not hahah

Idk, bc in my aus and hcs, I only went w the regional Champions, and since Kieran is Champion of the BB league, which is just a lil league in Blueberry Academy located in Unova, I didn't consider him as part of the next gen champs group, since I also already have two Unova Champions in the au (those being Iris and Hilbert ofc)

Then again, we could consider him Champion of Kitakami, as he is from that region, but like Kitakami doesn't have its own league so he's really just Champion of his school's league

Man, how WOULD Iris react to her friends asking her about the champions dragging her to hell and back??

She’d definitely freak out because they KNOW. They know what happens behind closed doors and the last person who found out got murdered for it. She already lost her grandfather, she doesn’t want to lose the last people she truly cares about

Maybe she’s try comfort Hilbert, telling him that he had no idea what was happening and it wasn’t his fault. He couldn’t have known, she really, really didn’t want to tell any of them what happened because she feared for their lives

Also so true King “This is Home” is definitely the Unova Kids in the Villain AU. They (slightly) don’t care about what Iris was done, or how she acts now, they just want their friend back. Now that they know that her new personality is the result of the champions abusing her mentally and physically, they have a reason to help her come back to them. To come back home where she belongs, not with the champions

But ough just Hilbert pulling her close and hugging her, trying not to cry right then and there because they’re comforting Iris not him. And just the other four joining the hug and telling Iris that it’s okay, they’ll help her, she doesn’t have to do this alone anymore, and that they’re sorry they never truly helped her in the past

Man Iris is just sobbing. She finally got genuine comfort and love from someone for the first time in years. Not like the champions who’d do it to mess with her head. And she’s clinging so tightly to them, scared that they’ll disappear if she lets go, but she’s knows that her friends can’t do anything, she won’t let them.

Because the last person who interfered died, and she doesn’t want the same to happen to the only people keeping her sanity intact. She’s BREAK if it were to happen

And Diantha knows just that

Bro I'm

YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME😭😭😭😭

No but

OUGH‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

No cause I've been thinking abt that last night too😭😭😭

Like,,,, OUGH VHDMFBMDBD shit how can I be normal after this the bw brainrot is so fucking real today

Imagine tho, Iris almost doesn't wanna leave the others bc if she does, then the Champions might attack them the same way they did w Drayden, and God she can't lose them, not them, please not them I love them please don't take them away from me too, and god she's there clinging tight on to Hilbert, crying on his chest going on how she's fucking terrified to let go, she's terrified to leave them, cause the last time someone knew abt this, the last time she left that person too, she came back to him on the floor dead with all the champions around him, and just jcmcbcnd

And the others tell her that she doesn't have to deal w the Champions anymore, that they're taking her away from them, and if they have to fight them then so be it, they don't care, they'll save Iris from them

And suddenly... Suddenly Diantha's there, the other champions too

"my, my, have I not told you that a champion doesn't cry, Iris?" She says, eyes glowing, the other champions w her, a Master Ball in hand.

And god Iris could just feel the dread and terror sinking in too, her hands were trembling as she slowly looked at Diantha, that lazy smirk on the Kalos Champion's face.

"you know, when Gengar had told me about your meeting with your friends, I paid no heed. Of course, you and Hau have your own friends, don't you?" Then she sighed, almost disappointed, "and now you want to battle us champions?"

Hilbert pulls Iris close to him, growling at Diantha, "she's not the only one, we'll battle you too. You're not taking Iris away from us."

Diantha laughs at that, then she snapped her fingers, and a strong psychic surge went through them, and then the others except Iris and Hilbert were held within Gardevoir's psychic hold. "You two.. well, I heard Iris always wanted to share that Champion title with you. Very well. If you two beat me in a battle, we'll leave them be, Iris." She then walked to the other side of the field, the same poise and elegance she always had. "But if you lose... Well, they can just say hi to your grandfather for us, then."

God imagine if that's how the others found out abt what really happened to Drayden tho cjmxnxm that he really didn't die of health issues, he was killed, by the champions no less

and Diantha's there waiting for them, calling out both Gengar and Gardevoir on the field, her hand over her Key Stone, the other outstretched towards them, "you two go first."

Hilbert finally lets go of Iris, but took her hand instead, telling her that they can win this, they have to, they will, and Iris, finally feeling some of the weight off her shoulders, nodded at him, and both of them called out Hydreigon and Emboar. Kyurem and Reshiram at the helm, waiting for the right time to attack, knowing full well Yveltal is on the other side of the field, waiting to be called out as well.
