#blood warden (vampire ingo au)

[bebo-schmebo]

Say hello to the 2nd in Command of Hisui's Suiren Security Corp., beloved Llygaid lleuad, and Warden of the Highlands, Warden Ingo! His younger kin have convinced him to join them in a Q&A! Quite a lovely family portrait, wouldn't you agree?

(Just a quick note- this au is of the darker sort, as it involves Vampires and Pokémon-esque werewolves. That means things such as blood, mid level gore, character death, etc, so if you are not comfortable with such things, please do not delve further! None of the answered questions will have such things unless full detail is requested, and will always have warnings.

Edit- secondary note, the style all response will be in will constantly change. Our style shifts every day, apologies in advance)

If you would be so kind, please use this code with your question to help us gadge a response!

⭐️ - Full Ramble - give me all the details, spoilers be damned! My curiosity is burning! (Receive a long winded response not from the characters, with as many details as we can remember on the spot pertaining to your question. Depending on the question, may also have diagrams and images)

💎 - Character Response - I only want a response from the character, even if their knowledge is limited!

❌️ - Make It Mild - If possible, please respond with low details if the response has anything dark (like the things warned about above)

🔪 - Chef It Up - I want to see the blood when I close my eyes, give me the full picture! The more angst the better! (No sensoring, we dish out the facts as they are as bluntly as possible and with a decent description.)

You can combine any and all of these if you'd like, no worries! Example-

"Heyo! How did you become a Vampire, Warden?

💎🔪"

Submas Vampire AU: You get hurt.

Emmet:

[Afab/Drag king! reader.] 

{Tw, stalking, blood, blood drinking, and stabbing.]

You winced in pain as you felt the stiches on your collarbone stretch under your shirt while putting on a T-shirt on, now regretting not letting the nurse help you get dressed, they told it was gonna be miserable! but in your adrenalin and pain killer fogged mind, you felt unstoppable and brushed off their assistance, but now ramifications on the whole situation was starting to hit you hard, you groaned in disdain eyeing the large bruise and band aid on your forehead. "Emmet's gonna freak!" you muttered warily, you know the hospital called him.

See what happened was You were at the cabaret bar this weeks theme was male video-game characters, everyone pulled a name at random, so there you were dressed as The sole Survivor from Fallout 4, while entertaining a group a girls, when closing time came around, one of the girls. (who you'd just learned just went through a nasty breakup.) had few tooo many and needed help getting to her cab. 

So, you helped her get outside and you guessed it, her ex was there waiting! They got into it and you tried to break it up not seeing the knife in the man's hand, until...Well.... You aren't really sure what happened.

You remembered the girl screaming bloody murder at her ex and next you had a knife in you! You got pissed off!  And somehow had grabbed the guy by the front of his shirt and headbutted him in the face, hard! He dropped like sack of potatoes as blood flowed like a facet from his nose! That was probably what the warm slimy stuff you felt dripping down your forehead was. 

Meanwhile his ex-girlfriend continued to scream like an Aerodactyl, until some of your co-workers came outside to see what was going on? And understandably started freaking out over you! You kept telling them you were fine and were just gonna head home now, You even tried to take the knife out! Luckily your boss Troy (Real name: Trudy.) Stopped you as you reached for the handle and had you sit down on a bench, while their partner Madame Meringue (Real name: Marvin.} called an ambulance and the cops. 

The doctor said it was good you were wearing that lifejacket (You were wearing a vault security costume, and needed a bulletproof vest for your costume, the real ones were too expensive so you improvised.) It took most of the damage so you only had a minor cut on your shoulder that needed a few stitches. 

And after wiping the blood off your forehead revealed there was another small cut that was quickly taken care of, and as for the guy who stabbed you? Well, you learned later that your super effective headbutt, not only broke his nose. But also knocked out three of his front teeth and gave him two black eyes! And no his Ex did not go back to him, she may have been drunk, but she wasn't stupid! And his "grand gesture" for getting her back (Yes his dumbass though she'd left him for you.) just solidified her decision to stay single! Hopefully his stalking ass will learn something from this, though you doubted it...

It was around six am when Emmet showed up, you could tell he was pissed! You noticed his eyes first; surveying the people occupying the hospital’s lobby warily they had faint red glow to them, as a rare frown adorned Emmet's face. 

His hand slowly rose to cover his mouth so not to show his fangs, he could smell your blood... too much of it! Emmet bit into his cheek as he spotted you being pushed in a wheelchair by a nurse to him a low barely audible growl emanated from his chest as took in your condition...He saw red.

He wanted the one responsible dead! The nurse started talking snapping Emmet out of his thoughts, the vampiric conductor's fangs retracted Emmet put his hand down and put on his best showroom smile as he vaguely listened to her instructions on how to keep your stiches clean, not that it mattered to Emmet, he was just going fix your shoulder at home.

The nurse then handed Emmet a small bottle with a couple pills in it for the pain and sent you both on your way, You let out a startled yelp as Emmet lifted you out of the chair and carried you to the car, you learned early on not to worry about your weight as Emmet's stated he's got scary cool vampire strength, you barely weigh anything to him!

{After one tense and silent car ride.]

Emmet had you in his lap as the two of you, sat on the couch, he had you tell him everything while he took bandages off your shoulder. Troy only gave him a vague summary of what went down, Emmet assumed you were mugged! The subway boss winced when he saw cut marring your skin, without warning he brought his finger up to trace it, causing you to shiver. "Sorry did that hurt?" he fussed watching your face for any discomfort. "Not really it just feels weird..." Emmet frowned it was probably going to feel more weird when he takes those stitches out!

"Anyway, like I said one of the girls I was entertaining was telling me A-ab-" You sputtered feeling Emmet's fangs slowly dragging along you shoulder cutting the surgical thread open, Emmet held you tight in his lap as you continued talking. "...her cr-crappy unhinged Ex and...." You felt Emmet slowly lick and lap at the cut. 

You let out shuddered breath your shoulder felt like it was on fire, as the skin began to slowly close weave itself back together. "He was waiting for h-her, they st-ar.. Started yelling and I-I got between them to tell him to get lost." Emmet suddenly stopped his ministrations, and stared at you in disbelief, Emmet was clearly processing what you just told him, before you could ask him what was up? 

Emmet suddenly flicked you in the forehead. "Y'know, I was fix the scratch on your head too, but now? I think I'll just leave it there as a reminder of your own dimwittedness." he huffed while you begged him to reconsider, how were you supposed to know the guy had a knife?! after Emmet was done fixing your shoulder, He spent the next couple days giving you cold shoulder. but eventually cracked cause he missed cuddling you. 

---------------------------------------------------------

Warden Ingo:

[Animal attack, blood, blood drinking, suggestive.]

{Fem/ Bi reader!} 

"This is all Melli's fault!" you wailed running from a pack of angry and hungry Ursarings! You weren't sure what you did to set the flamboyant Warden off this time. Maybe you accidentally splashed some mud on his clothes, maybe he heard Adaman say something nice about you? Hell.... For all you know he was just mad that you were breathing in his general presence! All you knew is one second he's leading you around Wayward cave and the next he's gone!

You tried going back to the entrance but found some of the torches were moved or put out and the ones that weren't just lead you into dead ends. You were probably turned around in that cave for two hours before finding the way out, Then you found out Melli also removed the markers on the trees directing you to the Base camp! And you didn't have your Pokémon with you, cos you stupidly let Melli take them, he said he was gonna heal them. 

"Argggh, I really hate that man!" you growled kicking a rock in frustration, the rock flew far into the darkness where you heard it something... followed by a low growl... "U-um" you stammered and squinted, you  saw a mass with bump on it's head, the mass slowly started to shift and rise up from the ground and started walking towards you, You felt like throwing up when you locked onto two angry red eyes of angry alpha male Ursaring staring down at you." Urrr" he growled while licking it's jaws hungerly....

Then the other Ursarings started coming out the woodwork... "Shit." with that you took off running, you weren't sure where you were going, and frankly you didn't care! As long as it got you away from these hungry Pokémon the better! *"C'mon Y/n, yer faster than this girl, work it!"* You yelled mentally in a feeble attempt to motivate yourself, when the inevitable happened, You tripped! 

You yelped as you lurched forward and rolled down a small hill and lost a shoe on the way down, You groaned as you pulled yourself up and saw the Ursarings were still behind. "They just don't give up!" you tried to stand only to gasp as a sharp pain shot up your left thigh, you put you hands around you leg and felt something warm and wet seep through your legging, it was blood! Even in the dim light you could see the gash on your thigh. "I- Dammit, dammit!" You hissed forcing yourself up, and started to limp away but you walked right into a dead-end! You turned around and saw the Alpha Ursaring closing in claw raised high above it's head ready to strike! You closed your eyes waiting for it to end... 

But after a few seconds nothing happened, you opened your eyes and were shocked by what you saw! It was Ingo standing in front of you his silver eyes glowed red, mouth contorted into a feral snarl. He was holding the alpha Ursaring's paw in his inhuman grasp, causing the large Pokémon to growl and wince in confusion as it tried to pulled it's paw loose, from the vampire's grasp, only for the poison type Warden toss the alpha like ragdoll! it's body slammed into the cliff wall and fell limply to the ground as Ingo turned his sight towards it's startled pack, a low threatening growl emanated from the warden; daring them to come forward, instead the Ursarings did the smart thing and ran for the hills with what little pride they had left.

You almost collapsed from exhaustion and relief, but Ingo was by you side in seconds and caught you. "Tha-" You were cut off by the warden pulling you into a intense kiss while holding you close. "I barely made it!" he gasped resting his forehead against yours, causing his hat to be pushed up a bit, You were tongue tied between saying something witty or stay quiet, but the sharp sting in your legs caused you gasp and you remembered your thigh! Ingo looked down saw the blood flowing down you legs and with out a word he picked you up and jumped up the cliff ledges before landing on one that out the way from Pokémon and people. 

You knew what Ingo intended to fix your leg as he done it countless times for you whenever you've gotten hurt in the field, alight blush adorned the warden's cheeks as he reached for hem of your tights. "May I take these off?" Your face felt hot as you shyly nodded Ingo swallowed and pulled your ruined tights off, he pulled your leg over his shoulder as he examined the cut for moment luckily it wasn't to deep, though there might still be a scar.

Your breath hitched as Ingo slowly ran his tongue along your wound lapping up all the blood seeping from the cut, You covered up a up moan by throwing your hand over your mouth as you felt a pleasurably shock of heat shoot up your leg from the wound rapidly healing, Ingo's grip on you leg tightened as he pulled away from your thighs, he had a dark carnal look in his silver eyes that told you he wanted more then just blood right now... 

[pov change]

Cut to the next morning where a nervous Melli was out looking for Y/n, after Adaman and Mai gave him an ear full for abandoning her with no protection out in the fields! Needless to say, the electric warden was stumped when he couldn't find her in Wayward Cave and went searching out in the quarries, where he found one of Y/n's shoes? His eyes looked around the area warily before he noticed the large trail of red droplets on the ground. 

Melli followed it and felt his stomach drop into his feet when he saw trail ended where a knocked out Ursaring laid, Thinking the worst Melli's jaw hung open and legs began to shake as he thought about what he was going to tell Laventon and Adaman? When someone cleared their throat, Melli yelped and whirled around to see Ingo standing behind him with Y/n sleeping on his back.

Melli swallowed nervously as Ingo eyed him sternly, the poison type warden held out his hand while staring at her shoe, Melli went to hand it to him, when Ingo grabbed him by the front of his tunic and lifted the shocked man off his feet. "Pull a stunt like this on Y/n again and I Will Kill You... I am not joking. I will throw you off this fucking mountain Melli, Do you understand?" He snarled flashing his fangs at the terrified Melli who nodded and with that Ingo dropped him while taking Y/n's shoe back. "What's going on?" Y/n croaked waking up briefly as Ingo shushed her. "Nothing dear, go back to sleep." Y/n complied as Ingo brought her back to base camp, Let's just say Melli was little more tolerant towards Y/n since then, least he suffers Ingo's wrath. 

[ingoinghost]

When Ingo gets back from Black City-White Forest, haggard and pale and bruised and confused and sporting a wicked set of newly elongated teeth and an alarming desire for fresh blood, Emmet promptly passes the fuck out. Emmet later awakes on the floor in the living room, curled up with his head on Ingo's chest while Ingo idly plays with Emmet's hair. Emmet is perfectly content to lay there for however long it takes to wake up from this dream within a dream when out of nowhere Ingo says something verrrry odd and verrrry stupid.

"Oh my god. I think I died."

Emmet processes that for a bit. Pinches himself twice. Picks up a nearby Joltik to shock himself with. Then he sits up, looks down at Ingo, and asks, "Oh shit, for real?"

Ingo nods slowly.

"I'm starting to remember... there was a man who looked like me. Specifically like me," he says, when Emmet gives him a look.

"I don't think he was a Zoroark. He wore a tattered grey coat I swear I could mistake for my own. I think he performed emergency CPR on me," Ingo says, touching his sternum with a deepening frown. "But I don't remember any hands pressing down. I don't remember another mouth against mine. Only that I woke up with blood in my mouth, and I don't think any of it was mine."

Emmet purses his lips. Taps his fingers against his leg. Says, "That sounds weird, awkward and unbelievable." Shakes his head in bewildered yet fond exasperation. "But I believe you," he decides.

Ingo almost smiles. And then he winces, because, duh. Jaw wrenched open. Also weird fucking giant-ass Seviper teeth, which, ow. Uncomfortable.

Emmet mulls this new information over. Then he stands and stretches, types a reminder into his xtransciever to read up on emergency CPR and zombies and vampirism and necromancy and weird doppelgangers that can apparently bring your twin brother back from the dead with the unfortunate bonus of an altered diet and a new set of teeth later, and turns and asks Ingo -

"Do you want to watch a horror movie?"

Ingo raises an eyebrow. Then his eyes crinkle with good humour and he snorts.

"Sure," he says. He bares his new teeth in his trademark awkward grin, version 2.0 and fuck you. "I'm only an Other now. Why not watch something horrible?"

They end up huddled on the couch together with their Pokémon, swathed in blankets and getting popcorn and strips of mince Tauros everywhere, from Emmet not really giving a fuck and Ingo trying his best to suck the blood out of the raw meat they had in the fridge, respectively. Haxorus in particular is rather curious about Ingo's new dinner plan, nudging carefully at his face so as not to cut him with her blades. Ingo indulges her by offering up the soon dry-ish lumps of meat, and she expresses her thanks by thumping her great armoured tail hard enough against the ground Crustle is knocked onto his back. How on Earth they managed that, Emmet will never know; he only wishes he could have recorded it.

Raw meat and terrifying revelations aside, that night ends up being a relatively normal night. Ingo is irreversibly different and not much else has changed. Both Subway Masters maintain that Thomas and the Magic Railway is the scariest horror movie they've ever seen, and Archeops steals so much popcorn he gets both a tummy ache and a timeout.

Somewhere in the middle of it, Ingo falls asleep. Chandelure hovers over him, flames bright and burning and dull. Emmet pulls his brother in to rest against his shoulder and cries.

Emmet's face is dry when he wakes up. His cheeks feel as if washed clean by a damp cloth, done so with a gentle and ever-caring hand. The blankets are tucked in around him, and he feels safe.

He swears to himself it isn't because Ingo is gone.

Ingo would never hurt him.

Emmet is right for thinking that.

...

..

.

(In the end, it turns out Ingo isn't a vampire in the traditional sense. Fortunately for Emmet's sanity and unfortunately for Emmet's sense of cryptid curiosity, Ingo isn't even dead. Nor undead, or whatever the Internet wants to call it, though Emmet thinks the Internet is a crock of shit. Talk about a letdown! It's just like with prehistoric Pokémon and spines and feathers and scales, all over again.)

(He's getting off track.)

(Ingo's teeth, diet, and physiology are just like this, now. The Subway Masters wear cloth face masks and scarves made of their respective colours when in public, now. Emmet threatens to break into the local blood bank when they figure out Ingo can't consume non-human blood without getting sick, until they figure out coconut milk and the synthetic blood made for bloodsucking Pokémon like the Crobat and Gliscor lines suffice. It's not perfect, but the supplements for human blood are just suitable enough for Ingo's warped systems that it's also enough to keep him from barfing every other week. And that's funny now, isn't it, that Ingo only eats every other week; drinking a lot all at once and going for extended periods of time without. Just like Gliscor.)

(Emmet still wants to break into that blood bank.)

(Ingo doesn't remember any more about the man who looked like him until he is the man who looks like him. Up until that moment he is spending his time skipping through time, like a rock over a lake. A minute in one decade in one place. And then two in the next. Always another step towards home, always another step farther from Sinnoh. On and on until he is the stranger in grey, standing alone save for Emitter, the ever-loyal ever-smiling Gliscor. On the cliffs of Route 15, Ingo stands, and Emitter flies. Route 15, the only place in the whole of Unova where wild Gliscor are known to live.)

(Turns out that is Emitter's fault. Or rather, as any Pokémon Trainer worth their Salt Clumps should admit, Ingo's fault for letting such things happen. In his defense, he's had other, perhaps more pressing things on his mind. Still. Whoops.)

(A registered Pokémon Breeder himself, Emitter's namesake, though unknowingly so to Ingo at the time of capture, would no doubt find the situation hilarious.)

(Ingo stares at the dead-dying-alivenotalive body of his younger self. Feels the guilt and the shame and the "really? That's what did me in? You've got to be kidding me," for causing the freak heart attack induced by fear and the fall. Wonders if CPR of all things is the right move. Feels the next jump pulling at his soul. Bites his tongue. Stiffens as his insides roil. Realises what this is, and that he won't have to break any bones or breathe for anyone else at all. Prepares to wrench his own jaw open. Steadies himself for five years of heartbreak. Thinks of Emmet. Knows this separation will be over soon.)

(And resigns himself to what he has to do.)

.

..

...

There are many things Ingo never tells Emmet.

Everyone lies everyday. Even does so the twin in white, who may as well be Reshiram's Vassal of Truth. These many things are Ingo's lies of omission, and he does not want to feel ashamed for them.

There are many things Ingo refuses to tell Emmet, but not all of them are things he definitively lists.

No. This... timeline? It is incomplete. It is important, and this is something else.

Subway Master Ingo remembers waking up with blood in his mouth.

Subway Master Ingo remembers the indistinct shape of a Pokémon flying overhead.

Subway Master Ingo remembers...

"...a man who looked like me."

Ingo Nobori Trewyn remembers waking up at home, with his brother at his side and his partner Pokémon hovering overhead. Ingo Nobori Trewyn remembers waking up to a burning hunger and a gutful of blood and a mouth full of too many teeth.

Subway Master Ingo remembers adjusting to the new normal with his brother's support. Ingo Nobori Trewyn remembers existing in an unchanging state of disrepair.

Subway Master Ingo Nobori Trewyn falls through space and time, and Warden Ingo remembers nothing.

(Ingo, brother of Emmet, would never hurt Emmet on purpose.)

(And in the end of ends, the brothers always reunite.)

Vampire Ingo and Emmet

(decided over on my twitter. expect some doodles coming soon)

[monsoon-of-art]

*Blows door off of hinges* I just spent a whole night and an ENTIRE DAY looking through your Pokerus tag after I randomly found your fic on AO3 last night! And I just want to say... Hi.XD I was looking for Ingo fics to help sate the Trainman brainrot I've had since the game came out, and I've found soooooooo much more with your story. Not Ingo brainrot, funnily enough (your story paradoxically seems to have mellowed out my brainot instead of giving me more, if that makes sense?). I LOVE how your story focuses on the community/family dynamic of all of the wardens and leaders, who I always imagined as living separate from their clan to live in the places their Noble does, like Iscan. It also makes Hisui seem kinda smaller, since they can travel back and forth so quickly in a day, but I guess if the leaders can make it to Jubilfe in a few hours at the start of the day like the game implies, that checks out.

But anyway, I did want to ask two things, if you don't mind answering. First, it seems like you are giving pokemon very realistic diets to realworld animals, which I'm all for. Gamefreak seems to avoid at least OVERT references to people and pokemon eating meat(pokedex entries being where it's referenced if at all). It seems they want pokemon to be at least omnivorous tho. PLA even goes so far as to give pokemon a prefered food type you can use to bait them, with things like beans, mushrooms, honey, grains, and salt, as well as the various berries you can use. It's even implied some pokemon eat apricorns, since the spoiled apricorns are said to be half eaten by pokemon. I know realistically not all pokemon might be able to survive solely on these things, and that there might not even be enough vegetation around to sustain bigger pokemon. I'd like to hear your take on this, and more importantly how poeple in you AU feed their pokemon. Do they share the clans/Team's rations, or do they let their pokemon hunt for their own food? If they do feed and take care of their pokemon, then it would be touching to see their partners go out and try to gather food for them before they get too scared off and their humans go feral and see them as food. Or heh, Mai and Ingo's partners trying to indicate that they need meat and blood and trying to teach them to hunt weaker easy to catch pokemon, but their humans are too stubborn/trying to cling to humanity that they resist the advice and hold off until it is far too late and their pokemon run off. Not to be too critical, but the explanation that their diet changes -> they are poor hunters -> they starve and become even more dangerous is just a little too simple to sit well with me. Maybe you just didn't go into too much detail before, but I feel like there are plenty of options to exhaust storywise to lead up to that point. Second(not as long I promise) is I would LOVE to hear your(or anyone's) head canon on how someone with Pokerus would turn into a Rotom. It is literally just a ball of Ball Lightning that can enter and possess appliances. I could see that freaking out anyone that wasn't a Ginkgo Guild member and now I can't get the image of someone in Cogita's safe haven being all 'Yo, I'm a fridge now' when Dawn gets there.XD omfgusbvuou I'm so sorry for the wall of text. feel free to answer these separately if you want.DX

Wow you're right that's a wall of text alright-

So to begin with not technically a question: I don't think the clan leaders and warden eat dinner together every night. There's no way Palina can walk all the way to the main settlement in a few hours. In my mind, they meet up every few days or so to check in with the Leader (important), discuss with the other wardens, get a nice meal. There's just no way for that to be possible every night.

Secondly, as for the diet question: the short answer is just because it's more dramatic and angsty ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I'm a huge fan of werewolves and vampires and all that good stuff. TVtropes has a page called "Warm Bloodbags are Everywhere" that fits this very well. If you want a more serious answer, meat is more calorically dense than plant matter, and the clan leaders/wardens/most NPCs are just burning through calories, because transforming takes up so much energy. Otherwise it's just because it's more fun for me, hehe

Finally transforming into a rotom would suck balls because your cells would probably shift into something less corporeal, and your nervous system would go into overdrive to create the electricity needed

Vampires aren't real the Subway Masters are just weird
