I had a whole PKMN au I had wanted to write about once and I daydream/mused about it so hard I can remember in pretry clear clarity what was going to happen. But I just really liked this one Idea i had which was like:

There was the main char, sorta, named Nox who had a Luxray named Prius and several other pokemon. He traveled and he made do with whatever to get by and was really aimless and then somehow rediscovered these ppl he had grown up with and they dragged him on their PKMN master adventures (they both ended up becoming gym leaders eventually and tbh this road to masterdom they started way later than in the series and they were adults when they started travelling like cross country etc). Anyways Nox was like the typical tragic backstory boy, you know, and he sorta liked one of these friends but didnt do anything about it bc angst or whatever.

Anyways there was a moment in their travels where they had the chance to travel to Hoenn. They're from Sinnoh originally and in this AU Hoenn had been mostly-closed off with very strict visitation rules due to the species of PKMN on the island being susceptible to diseases from other regions. Even when they start allowing visitors, they limit them to only physically bringing in one pkmn and otherwise only being able to transfer in allowed pkmn at certain PKMN centers where they can be evaluated. There was a whole disinfection thing and everything for the people too.

Now, the one pkmn thing was a problem - see, months earlier, maybe even a year earlier (i never cemented the timeline oops) there was an Incident. No one remembered The Incident, though, except for Nox. The Incident involved the group of friends getting blown off track in a storm, hunkering down in a dodgy motel, and Nox getting into a Bad Argument with Liam, that guy he sorta liked. Liam took his pkmn out that night after the storm blew over to cool off by battling, ran into a nasty gang of pkmn hustlers who wanted his Blaziken mighty bad and ended up dying in the resulting battle.

Nox is desperate to find a way to fix this, blaming himself. He does his loner thing for a while, maybe a year or two, searching for a pkmn that has the power to manipulate the past. He follows a sparse but definitive trail of rumors and evidence left by others who seek it as well, but instead of the pkmn he expected (Dialga), he runs into the Lake Trio. Through an empathetic connection they're able to comunicate, and they tell him they can help him turn back time and rescue his friend if he does something for them.

Which is how he ends up alone on a mountain top with a party of half dead pkmn facing down the shifting Giratina who is emerging from a temporal-gash in an attempt to wreak havoc on the world.

He survives - barely - and the Lake Trio take him to Dialga, who in gratitude to stopping Giratina shoots his being back into his younger self on the night Liam dies.

He saves Liam, things are fine, etc...except theyre not. Because, whatever happened during the battle with Giratina in the future, whatever effect that spacetime rift had, had left a mark on Nox but more importantly, seemed to have forged a connection between Nox & Giratina. He starts getting visions, being assaulted by emotions not his own, but most distressingly, he starts having vivid dreams of a rematch in his future.

When he sees the maps of the Hoenn region he reocgnizes an area from his dreams, so when they head to Hoenn he is prepared - Prius is with him, as always, but he also takes his Gengar with him, hidden in his shadow, and hides two locked pokeballs containing two more members of his team (Banette & Hydreigon) by surgically inserting them under the skin of his left arm himself. He's utterly convinced that he cannot out anyone else in danger so he's fully prepared to tackle this himself. Hes not even sure that the whole pkmn balls in his arm thing will work but it does.

And when they get to the area he recognizes, and while the others are distracted by what Team Aqua and Magma are trying to do and how to stop them, he slips away with Prius. The others look for him, only to arrive at the battle in time to see him getting sucked into the temporal rift, pulled into the Distortion World by Giratina.

Days, months, years pass - and Nox shows up again. All the more skittish, all the more worn out looking, quieter and more avoidant of people than he'd ever been before, with a strange looking pokeball on his belt that he never, ever touches and never talks about.
