#dusknoir au

[howlingday]

(Let's take a break of the spirits. I wanted to have everyone talk to the main group about thier meetings and decide if they need to hunt him down for answers or not.)

Dusknoir Au:Emerald and Oscar wondered back to Shade and met Team Rwby and Jnp confused. Drawing attention of the group they asked what happened they explained they met a strange man. Everyone else expect Nora said they did too. He and his montser knew things that they shouldn't. What should they do?

Ruby/Jaune Weiss Yang/Blake Ren Oscar/Emerald

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

"Hey, welcome back!" Ruby greeted with her usual cheer.

"Hey." Oscar replied, with less enthusiasm than usual, as he entered with Emerald.

"What's up with you guys?" Yang asked, seated at the table for lunch. "It's taco day, remember?"

"The best day of the week!" Nora chimed.

"Didn't you say pancake days are the best days of the week?" Emerald questioned.

"They are," Nora nodded, "but that's because it's every day. Taco day is once a month, so it's more special." As Emerald decided whether or not to argue, Oscar took a seat at the table. "Hey, no tacos until you wash your hands, young man!"

"I just need a second to sit down." Oscar sighed. "Today was kind of weird."

"We got a cold reading by some weirdo." Emerald explained.

"A cold reading, in this weather?" Yang asked with a grin. "That is pretty weird, huh?"

"Anyway," Emerald said, holding back a groan, "this guy just comes up to us and says he's got a message for us-"

"From someone who was dead?" The trio asked at the same time, making the returning party reel.

"Another one?" Jaune said, entering from the kitchen. "How many people is that, six?"

"Eight." Ren said from behind. "Jaune, Ruby, Yang, Blake, Weiss, and I were the first six. Oscar and Emerald make eight."

"That is so weird!" Ruby shouted. "Probably weirder than that balloon thing that was next to him!"

"What did he say to you?" Oscar asked.

"He said he had a message from Penny and Pyrrha for me and Jaune. He said some stuff about us that we didn't tell anyone. Stuff like not blaming us for their deaths."

"Wait, you guys blamed yourselves for their deaths?" Nora asked.

"Well, yeah." Ruby said. "I mean, I couldn't stop Cinder from killing Pyrrha."

"And I..." Jaune cleared his throat. "I actually did... do it. To Penny, I mean."

"Well, we never blamed you, right, Ren?"

"Never." Ren replied with a shake of his head. "I was told my father and mother were proud of me. He also said my mother would speak with me later."

"That's spooky." Yang said. "I got a message from Mom saying she liked where I'm at and that she approves of Blake."

"Speaking of, where is Blake?" Oscar asked.

"She's helping Ice- Er, Weiss with something." Yang jabbed a thumb to the stairs. "She talked with that guy, too, and he said some stuff about her grandpa being proud of her and her family. She probably took it harder than any of us."

"Who talked to you guys?" Nora asked.

"Or who did he say wanted to talk to you?" Jaune said, earning a look from some of the others. "I'm just trying to be realistic. This could be a scam."

"Weirdly enough, I thought the same thing." Emerald said. "But since he came to all of us and didn't ask to be paid, he either did it out of charity, or..."

"Or he's targeting us." Jaune nodded. "We should be careful from now on."

"Or you guys could just be paranoid." Nora said, leaning against her hand. She then turned to Oscar. "So, who did you talk to~?"

"Uh, it was Hazel." Oscar answered. "He said... Well, he said Ozpin was still a prick."

What if the Time Gears had actually threatening guardians.

So you know how evolution isn’t a guaranteed indicator of a Pokémon’s age, as evidenced by that one episode with the really old Treecko?

Applying this concept to the world of PMD yields some hilarious implications. Especially when you apply it in a post-credits PMD2 AU where the Future Trio have set up shop in the present, and we get to see Dusknoir have a crisis when he realizes he’s been hunting down a tween and a college student for the past who-knows-how-long.

TFW you realize the duo of fugitives you’ve tracked across space and time are not stupidly immature, they’re just babies

It's MY autism and I get to decide what hyperfixations get a crossover AU in my mind

[edsanon]

It is time

I HAVE A PMD AU NOW !!!!

Niko became a Lopunny and Palkia is vibing with him under the disguise of a Skitty. Hero and Partner Pokémon are still a thing, Hero is a Pikachu and partner is a cyndaquil.

More doodles under the cut

Someone asks Duskull for help...

[fujii-draws]

Me and @cyber-streak-2 thinking of a new au together >:3

[driftingballoons]

It takes time to master one’s abilities, even if it’s time travel

Meanwhile…

So that’s where he went

*I swear I'm done asking for tonight after this*

Excuse me? Does the words Salutations and I'm sorry mean anything to you?

Jaune and Ruby look at each other and grimace:...Yes.

My friend Dusknoir has a message for you two. I translated it to "Saluations and Hello there. We never blamed either of you for what happened to us. We thank you for all the good you did for us in life. We love you though differently on the person. We are sorry how much we hurt for both. Please live for ours stakes. Last thing treat each other well you have our blessing if so choose to follow."

It cuts off there. My friend Dusknoir can hear sprirts with its antenna but I don't think I can get them back ever again but I hope that heard what you needed.

(Feel free to change whatever you want out of that. I'm not a good writer)

Ruby and Jaune looked at the strange creature floating in front of them, and it looked back with it's single, fiery red eye. Much like the Grimm, though this was far more docile and lacked the black body with white bone protrusions that matched the baneful creatures of Remnant.

When they looked at each other, hoping for some measure of skepticism, they both instead found a tenderness. A familiar sense of loss from looking at one another's eyes. They'd both failed to protect the ones they cared about, and yet neither blamed the other. Only themselves.

"Th-" Jaune cleared his cracking voice. "Thank you. We appreciate it."

"Yeah." Ruby nodded, doing her best to hold back her tears. "More than you could know."

*taps mic* hey what if the pokémon in the dark future just don't age at all, since time stopped? not suggesting that's canon but I think it'd be a really interesting angle to explore things from. potentially, any pokemon living there would be functionally immortal if food and water were easy to come by, and if it wasn't for all the other pokemon who tend to lash out and get violent (like spiritomb) due to the state of the world.

Everyone living in the future wasn't born there, nobody can even have children any more, just as nobody can grow up or evolve. Despite them all having seen the sun back before this all started, they've been in this state for so long that they've forgotten anything about what that was like, or even that they saw it at all. It's all just one big, neverchanging blur that's always been the same, forever. They've always been this age. They've only ever seen the planet paralysed. Nothing's ever been different.

I think that'd probably add quite a bit to Grovyle, hero and Celebi's decision to go back and fix things, too. Disappearing would almost definitely be better than living forever in a miserable world that never changes with no end in sight, especially if they couldn't even remember their beginnings. At least then, other people get a chance.

(it would also mean there'd definitely be versions of all of them that still exist after fixing time, not that they'd have any way of knowing that. but it'd be fine for them to exist without any harm to the world at all)

[billycorn]

Yeah... their reunion didn't go great. It happened a lot earlier than originally planned tho, so that's fun!

[edsanon]

Hehe I have new doodles !!!

Dusknoir is having a dilemma because there are two humans who are now Pokémon, one is strong and is weary of him, the other is a baby and looks up to him

So yeah of course he thinks Lopunny/Niko is his enemy haha

UNTIL HE LEARNS HE’S A BOY

BECAUSE HE KNOWS DAMN WELL THAT GROVYLE’S PARTNER IS A GIRL

So yeah hehe have this little thing wooo

And have a small thing of Niko being a big brother to Hika (Pikachu) and Cinders (Cyndaquil)

[half-full-colon]

been thinking of @/jsab-fuiji's swap au; i think Treecko'd be the one to gather items for expeditions! this's a bad idea 👍
