alright due to that one post about PokeParents im gonna share my headcanons that i have on discord - but these will be edited from that a lil so, lets go!! Part 1 - Pokemon Protags Red - Same as Ash in the anime (they are parallels of one another!), His Dad left when he was a baby to go be a trainer but just. disappeared. still sends the very occasional letter and money but Red's never met him and doesn't care too. Mama is about the same as Delia. Leaf - Same as Blue since I follow the hc they're siblings, so I'll cover her in the rivals post! Ethan - So! with my Chosen au/pokeverse, hgss is technically the third gen, so either Ethan's mom and him moved to Johto at the start of game while his dad still works in Hoenn, or his mom's just single. Lyra - I've been playing around with the idea that she's Professor Elm's daughter (since, i think he's got a daughter in canon?) but i found out through that other post that she as a rival is the granddaughter to the daycare couple! I'll cover Kris with the rivals Brendan - Norman's kid, just like the games, there is a mom in the games but I don't have much on her since I still haven't played these games! (I'll get to the once i figure out whateverthehell is going on with citra-) May - Prof. Birch's kid! same as Brendan, don't have much other than what is already well known, her parents are happily married (-unlike Brendan's-) Lucas - Actually I have his and Dawn's parents switched! So Lucas has the rival!Lucas' parents from in game (who i know the dad works with Prof. Rowan, mom i think is just at the home.) maybe his parents know Palmer? Dawn... & Selene! - Yep, in my personal verse; ChosenZVerse, I have Dawn and Selene as sisters! Dawn as the older, Selene as the younger. Their mom was the former contest performer, and their dad is a deadbeat, but considering bdsp maybe he was involved with galatic? at one point?? (where the hell did i get this??) Hilda... & Nate! - second verse same as the first - USA DIVORCE!!! 🦅🦅🦅🎆🎆🗽🗽🗽(there's no flag on windows???) Serena - I'm gonna stick with this headcanon so sprinkling in some spice - I think Grace (XY mom) had a one night stand and decided to keep the baby (this is. supposed to be a symbolism for life-)

Gloria - aka my OC Fiona; who is the only other one than May to have both stable parents; I do have the hc that her mom's Unovan tho, with her Dad being Galarian aaannd! Victor - aka my other OC Malik! who is the younger brother of Raihan; both parents are still together but are working around the world. Their Mom's a successful business woman while their dad is a dragon expert/conservationist. runs in the family!

that's it! I'll either reblog or just make a separate post for the rivals cause that's prolly be twice as long lmao

How are people chosen by legendaries? Is it a birth thing?

･ ｡ﾟ☆Ah. This requires a rather long answer.･ ｡ﾟ☆

･ ｡ﾟ☆Long ago in the times of old, when pokemon and man kind were beginning to collide. The Almighty made a decree. ･ ｡ﾟ☆

Legends of the greatest powers must choose a human. To have as a companion and anchor to thyn realm, someone of equal heart, mind, and soal, to protect and nurture this world. To keep of the balance between us and these strange creatures.

･ ｡ﾟ☆... that is atleast of what I remember. Chosen souls, Stars, as many of us called them, were then specifically created for each individual grand legend; and were sent into the world when their time was needed. To protect and save their regions from any catalysts that might hit them. These souls are the only ones who can handle us legendary beasts, as well as the powers they gain when we reunite with them.･ ｡ﾟ☆

･ ｡ﾟ☆The way, specifically, that a legend chooses is rather simple. The Chosens are already on earth, dormant until the time is right. Until a Catalysts hits, and the Chosens of the region rise with all of their power to save their region. Most of the time, Chosens will seek out legends themselves, others they will just simply be in the right place at the right time. Only when a Chosen is truly ready, is their truest self, will the connection between Chosen and Legend click.･ ｡ﾟ☆

･ ｡ﾟ☆You are however, not far off in the birth right aspect. For my Chosen- Hop. His bloodline runs ever deep in the land of Galar...but I am unsure of if he knows this yet...･ ｡ﾟ☆

Blog lore ||

|| A year and a half after the events of SwSh, a 17 year old Hop decides to study abroad in Kalos; with a recommendation from Professor Sycamore himself.

But; Not only is Hop journeying to Kalos to further his academics on becoming a future pokemon professor, but he is also the sole respondent of trading information about Dynamax and Infinite energy. Things that could change both; maybe eventually all region's futures.

However, there is another reason he chose Kalos over the other regions; one he hadn't told to anyone, not even his best friend. A year and half prior; Hop was granted the honor of capturing one of the regions legendary pokemon; Zacian.

Hop doesn't understand why he got that honor, because to him he hadn't done anything worthwhile. I mean sure; he managed to calm the wild beast when she was stricken with dynamax energy, but he's still not sure how he even managed to do that. What he does know is that ever since the night after capture; he's felt... alone? He wasn't sure what he felt. Yes he could just talk to his friend; but he doubt they would have more information than he had; having only caught the brother legendary within the same hour.

So; what would any teenager do when feeling alone. Go straight to the internet! And as he was boarding the ship to the neighbouring region he was glad he did. For he might not have gotten in contact with not only others who seemed to also manage to capture other legendaries. Hop also managed to get in contact with one of Professor Sycamore's former students, and she promised to give Hop any awnsers he needed.

Hop was setting off on an opportunity of a life time. To active awnsers not only for himself. But maybe for the Galar region as a whole. He was sure this trip abroad would fly by due to him having a lax but exciting year ahead of him.

An easy in & out trip; (and as he reassured he family and friends many times) He would be back home safe and secure!

...right?

Hop's current team!

[Hop couldnt take most of his galar team, except for Basil who is registered as his partner pokemon.]

[The nicknames are as follows;

Basil the Dubwool

Amysthst (or 'Mist) the shiny Vaporeon [the names not set yet]

@deerdeardarling interaction between Naomi and CZV Hop.

CZV! Hop: So your dad was a Chosen?

Naomi: Yep! I feel like he would have done amazing things if we was still with us.

CZV Hop, assuming Soul died when doing Chosen work: ....if. If you don't mind me asking...what...or who....lead to his....you know.

Naomi: ...well. If I had to point the blame, it would be those royal weirdos.

CZV Hop grimacing: Of course-

Naomi: I mean i wouldn't have lost him if they just gotten Cursed....though I guess I wouldn't wish that on them, no matter how I feel about them.

CZV Hop: ...what-

Naomi: But really, what did them in was Zacian Choosing him, but accidentally Cursing him as well.

CZV Hop: Uh-

Naomi: Being Chosen and Cursed clashed really badly together, so he got really sick and passed away.

CZV Hop: I-

Naomi: In fact, said Chosen-Curse was put on me! Mom was worried I would get sick and die too, but it all worked out :D

CZV Hop:

( realistically, I don't think Naomi would be this casual with her father's death and the fact that she could have gone out the same way as her father, but the idea of giving CVZ Hop whiplash was semi funny to me lol)

[deerdeardarling]

Ever since I've been invested in the Chosen Au/ ChosenZVerse, pretty much all my feelings for all the legends have increased; so of course this includes Cally. I've always liked all the forms (cause I'm a sucka for high fantasy-) but now I've got like an emotional attachment (and also a grieve that we never got a "Spring" form Calyrex)

Bonus Poll

I've only really seen people memeing on the design of this pokemon, so I'm curious

[deerdeardarling]

THEY ARE STUCK IN MY HEAD ALMOST ALL THE DAMN TIME BECAUE THEY ARE FOILS TO THE POSTWICK BROS AS DECENDANTS TO THE FIRST KINGS

GHRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

(Not directed at you I am yelling to the void)

[deerdeardarling]

Actually that last post made me realize that I should, yaknow, make the ultra timelines MATTER in CZV!Alola...

Maybe it's what Elio and Lillie see after defeating Lusamine and they're trying to find Selene who's fighting Ultra Necrozma

[deerdeardarling]

[A future chosen meet-up]

May(~30yro, fake crying): This year, I lost my dear rival, Wally-

Wally(who showed up 10 minutes late to the meeting): QUIT TELLIN' EVERYONE IM DEAD?!

May: Sometimes I can still hear him!

[czv-hops-kalos-arc]

Hop💫: is... is that even possible?

Calem🦅: BY TECHNICALITY- yes, yes it is possible. But the Chosen and Legendary must be in equal agreement that either the Chosen themselves are not fit for the position of "chosen", or ... well I suppose hypothetically there could be alot of other factors-

Regardless; there are alot of other factors. Such as properly returning the Legend and their assigned artifact/key- whatever you want to call it- if the region is a multi-Legend region (which most are-) that the other legends are in agreement as well, and if there's a person that is better suited to take their place well that's a whole other process.

It is truely a last resort option. As not only is it taking for, well, everyone. But it's most likly unwise to leave a Legend with no reason to be on this planet.

Hypothetically, how does one get UNchosen by a legendary? Just hypothetically

[deerdeardarling]

How many people know about the modern Chosens? Like among their respective groups?

ooo a good question! I think all the Kanto + Johto + Hoenn are the main three regions that recognize it the most, due to them being smaller knit regions. But the real question is; are the general public referring the them as just 'the chosen one(s)'/'hero(s)'/'savior(s) ect ect., or do they know they're Chosens with a capital C. Easy answer, obviously people don't really know what Chosens actually are other than chosens themselves (who even they only get the basics gist of-) and those Chosens are close to. but like let's take Lance for example; you ask him what a chosen is and he could only give you a basic response of "they are trainers that have earned the favor of our regions legendaries." and that's it. Not only was there alot of confusion during the first 4 gens but also the general consensus that 'hey maybe we should be hush hush about this while there's evil orgs. around' which only works about 60% of the time. if i haven't said it yet i have mostly determined that by Swsh/SV; the Chosens are established- but they're as established as they can be with only ~25 years of experience and collaboration with everyone. At least by BW/2/XY they've been aware that some type of pattern exists with new chosens possibly popping up every 2~3 years This popped up while i was writing but Alola is probably the most lax region and the one with the most history on chosens aside from Sinnoh (well. saying sinnoh very loosely because if some ancient ruin isnt ruined beyond repair its vague as fuck). But with the Tapus having what i think is the most human version of Chosens, and just general closeness to the main legend in general (Lillie being a Nova) and just. Alola being a chill region and culture for the most part, it's the best region for chosens

[deerdeardarling]

Any idea for a general tag for folks who have pokemon chosen aus?

So my mutual @a-tale-of-legends brought up in the tags of their recent post asking if there was a general tag for people on here who have Pokemon Chosen Aus. And tbh this is something I've been thinking about for a long while; cause I would love to see other people's take on this au! So does anyone have any thoughts on what it should be?

Of course there's the simple easy generic "Pokemon Chosen Au", which is a tag that I've used myself once or twice. But if other have any other ideas (and we can all come to a concise agreement lol) I would love to hear!

Hop's Kalos Arc

A year and a half after the events of SwSh, a(just turned) 17 year old Hop decides to study abroad in Kalos; with a recommendation from Professor Sycamore himself.

But; Not only is Hop journeying to Kalos to further his academics on becoming a future pokemon professor, but he is also the sole respondent of trading information about Dynamax and Infinite energy. Things that could change both; maybe eventually all region's futures.

However, there is another reason he chose Kalos over the other regions; one he hadn't told to anyone, not even his best friend.

A year and half prior; Hop was granted the honor of capturing one of the regions legendary pokemon; Zacian.

Hop doesn't understand why he got that honor, because to him he hadn't done anything worthwhile. I mean sure; he managed to calm the wild beast when she was stricken with dynamax energy, but he's still not sure how he even managed to do that.

What he does know is that ever since the night after capture; he's felt... alone? He wasn't sure what he felt. Yes he could just talk to his friend; but he doubt they would have more information than he had; having only caught the brother legendary within the same hour.

So; what would any teenager do when feeling alone. Go straight to the internet! And as he was boarding the ship to the neighbouring region he was glad he did. For he might not have gotten in contact with not only others who seemed to also manage to capture other legendaries (although, it was hard to discern what was real or not. It was the internet after all) Hop also managed to get in contact with one of Professor Sycamore's former students, and she promised to give Hop any awnsers he needed; (again, he was sceptical about it; but he had confirmed on a video-call with the Professor and she was in fact real.)

But regardless; Hop was setting off on an opportunity of a life time. To active awnsers not only for himself. But maybe for the Galar region as a whole.

He was sure this trip abroad would fly by due to him having a lax but exciting year ahead of him.

An easy in & out trip; (and as he reassured he family and friends many times) He would be back home safe and secure!

...right?

[czv-hops-kalos-arc]

[Shauna freezes before fidgeting herself]

Ah. Yeah I should've figured by your outburst this. Isn't normal in your world. Well lucky for you all your questions kinda fall under the same thing!

[Shauna takes a breath in and out]

In this world; me, Calem, Elio, our Hop, and many others are what we call Chosens. Humans chosen by legendary pokemon to serve and protect their respective regions. As well as the world as a whole.

In order to fulfill our purpose; the legendaries unlock powers and weapons within us-

[Shauna tells as she unfurls her hand to show Hop a palm sized circle of mud like clay; magically bubbling. It has a slight green sheen to it. Shauna pulls her hand back and closes it; evaporating the clay instantly]

As you saw earlier with Elio, Chosen's also get a cool cosmetic change! With our hair and eyes matching our respective Legendary. Elio was chosen by the Alolan legendary: Solgaleo; also one of the three legendaries of Ultra Space.

I. Don't quite remember what Ultra Space. Is? It's like an alternate world, but also. Not??

Heh sorry, Elio and Selene could probably explain it better. Anyhoo! Solgaleo is one of the two Alolan legendaries that are 100% safe for humans to traverse multi dimensional ways. And if every goes picture perfect; they're your ticket home!

Oh! And about the weapon- Elio didn't mean to pull it out! It was kinda a knee-jerk reaction to you getting angry- which you have every right to be! I mean I know I would in your situation, haha!

Did I clear all your questions? For now at least

Am I going crazy or is… is that Lumiose Tower? Why is it in Paldea?

[A photo of Lumiose Tower standing in the distance outside Hop’s window.]

Wait… I don’t… I don’t think this is the hotel room I fell asleep in…

[deerdeardarling]

( I rolled a d100 generator lol)

2,11 and 70 for Fiona and Malik!

Thhhaaannnkkkkk you bestie 2. Do they do anything to celebrate their b-day('s) hmmm yaknow thinking about it the opposite happens for both; Fiona's party would usually just be her and Hop's families (and the magnolias but that was only sparingly)- since they didn't really have another other friends. Meanwhile Malik (being the son of nobles) would have big parties; even tho the kids he spent time with felt fake- (i think im answering this wrong lmao) So now adays they've swapped; with Fiona having more eventful parties (and especially when she gets 20+ and has become friends with the other Chosens; sometimes she'll go to a whole region with the gang for the week.) And Mal prefers chiller parties- either dj-ing/preforming his own music or maybe just a movie night with friends (and trying to beat Bede at chess so he can win a night hgawfvub-) 11.How would your character court the person of their dreams? (i know you said this was random but this feels targeted PFFT-) okay so- (from what i've read about courting-) i feel like Fiona's already got this in the bag? Her and Hop have been friends since she moved next door (at 8yo) and they've been attached at the hip (until HKA; where they start to grow into their own without one another-) so i feel like when she "courts" him she just does what she's always done like helping him (first it was with training but now its with field work), she'll do the thing where if she'll get meaningful gifts and give them in bunches at a time (so she finds like 20 and distributes them in 5's over a few months lol), and she always, ALWAYS sends supportive texts (think it'd be funny if she sent those to Him before She goes out to a battle lol) NOW MALIK ON THE OTHER HAND- He went full blown after having Bede open up (post game duh); 20 roses, fancy dinners, walks in the forest (even tho it sometimes makes him claustrophobic-) he was literally trying to do everything by the book (a literal book his Ma' gave him-) it was difficult at first because of a certain-snooty-someone, but after some persistence it worked! And then almost immediately fell apart (for those unaware it's due to cosmic horrors-) So in an ideal world; after cracking that hard shell (it wasn't that hard lmao) things would go as smooth as they'd be able (cotton-head's still got his own baggage but Mal would supportpay for therapy) 70.What about your character is cowardly? (what. what does this mean-wait hold up-) again they are the same but in different directions. They both don't tell people shit- but on one hand Malik tries to fix it himself (with clear duct tape and elmers glue/just surface level fix) Fiona on the other hand just ignores it until it roundhouses her in the face- either from herself or someone else. and of course the most used reason for why they don't say anything is because they don't want to hurt people around them (This kicks off for Fiona during game/being champ. but i think Mal grew up with this mindset)

[deerdeardarling]

I'm working on the replies but here-

[deerdeardarling]

ITS DONE!!! THE LEGENDARY HIERARCHY!!!!

Hopefully this isnt super confusing, so ill try to explain some of it here!

So im gonna explain the lines first, the lines are pretty much just connecters to show whos above/below who. So like The Creation Trio are under Arceus.  These are more about the pokemon rather than their Chosens, but their Chosens are in the same spots.

Mew and Arceus are on the same level. The Lake trio and just under Arc cause i kinda see them as like...advisors?? the Unknown are on the same level. Eternatus is on the same as all the other grand dragons, but isnt connected via line cause it doesnt really listen, same applies to Necrozma. Technically Calyrex is above the wolves but! because it doesnt have a chosen the wolves got bumped up, so they’re on the same level. The Johto Beasts are technically on the same level, but Suicune is canonically the “leader” of them. And the Ultra Beasts and Sivally are on the same level as opposing forces. but they are more on the same level as the Kanto birds. I feel like I’m forgetting alot, so any questions are always welcomed!
