[hisuis-hero-akari]

Been busy gathering the plates but I finally have 17! Volo wants me to see him at the ruins though, so I gotta go!

[i-am-1ngo]

… Warden Ingo? That you? I thought I saw you in the hightlands today? Or, are you a different version? I am so very confused.

uhm… I’m just… huh? Also! Do you have your memories?

https://www.tumblr.com/hisuis-hero-akari

Yes, it's me, but I must be a different version than the one you know. Universes are complicated, trust me. And I have most of my memories back, but there are unfortunately still some things from my childhood that are missing.

[ooc tagging to make sure you see this post: @hisuis-hero-akari ]

HISUI PMD AU

So I’ve been going through a bit of another rough period lately and have turned back to my DS system, one of the few gaming consoles that doesn’t seem to terribly hurt my hand (yay!!)

I picked up PMD Sky again, and seeing as I had reset my file at some point but didn’t make a new one, I inserted Ingo and Akari into it — Cyndaquil for Ingo (hero), and Eevee for Akari (partner)!

I think it’s very fitting since Hero character has total amnesia except for remembering their name, and Partner character is someone with an outgoing personality who’s just joining a guild.

I’ve been getting really attached to it, and so I’ve been thinking about a little AU with some adjustments to it. Hence these doodles I’ve been working on for the last few days (mostly warmups/practice to try and tighten linework with my non-dominant hand, so no hatching or handwritten words for this one ^^;).

I may develop more to this. It’s been so so fun!!

[critterbitter]

re: your thoughts on legendaries (which is very cool and based) what’s your take on the differences between legends:arceus giratina and platinum giratina, especially since you defined them as hating the world? specifically the bit where giratina (at least seemingly) actively defended the world from cyrus trying to destroy it, after trying to do the same thing with volo’s help centuries prior?

Weird ghost worm upon yee (AND MORE ART BELOW CUT!)

Anyways, here’s my mad ramblings about Giratina and Arceus’s backstory.

Tldr: Giratina’s a conglomerate of angry souls scorned by Arceus.

(Here’s the playlist. It’s all about worms.)

How it Started.

The original one has chosen favorites over the passage of time. Heroes, legends, protagonists…

Arceus intervenes for those it loves, and the consequences of a god touching the mortal world is devastating in its entirety. One act of divine intervention causes entire civilizations to collapse. One whispered suggestion drives an entire legacy insane.

So Arceus, paralyzed by its love for the mortal world, acts very little, learning from its mistakes. Apathy soaks through every motion. And thus is the way of the world.

But people love the Originator. Religions are born from Arceus’s rare deeds, and generation on generation taught its benevolence. Imagine spending your entire life chasing after that golden light. Imagine knowing its real and there, and it loves you.

Imagine begging it for help, and seeing it turn away when you need it most.

I think those people would feel very abandoned indeed, if they spent their lives worshipping, and receiving no response at all.

Giratina is born from the abandoned, the lost, and the angry. They’re a hundred thousand souls who’s adoration turned to spite. They’re an entity who demands for Arceus to look at them, so they can finally rest.

Arcues can not look at them in full, because if it does Giratina will fade.

(Scio, beloved. For I can not let you go.)

So the Original One banishes the Unwanted Beast into the distortion world, and Giratina seethes, and starves, and screams.

(Here are two truths about the Beast Between Dimensions—

1. Some part of them still loves Arceus. Arceus is their anchor, after all— the sole reason why they exist, why they are. But Arceus can not love it back in a way that matters, and that hurts.

2. Giratina is made of a thousand voices. Some of these voices remember that there’s a world above. They miss it.)

Why Giratina attacked Hisui in PLA:

PLA Giratina’s not a new god, but they’re very, very bitter and barely coherent on a good day. Volo serves as a conduct to help unite the broiling mass of ghosts against Arceus, and thus Giratina’s hatred overcomes any flickering affections they have for the land.

It doesn’t help that Arceus intervened for Hisui, sending Akari to directly stop Volo from summoning Giratina.

(As for Volo, well.

Imagine being a child who was thrown into the future due to Palkia and Dialga’s fits, who learned his people (his world) no longer exist beyond a shadow in the history books and a single, bitter lore keeper.

Volo doesn’t remember his original culture beyond vague imprints and singing praises to Sinnoh, but he knew he was loved, and he knew his family is dust four hundred years in the past. There’s a special sort of rage in him that echoes Giratinas.)

(Why did you abandon my people, Arceus? What kind of god are you, to leave those who love you so callously behind?)

(Maybe some part of Giratina recognizes Volo, beyond a feeling of kinship.

Maybe some part of Giratina grieves because it recognized the child Volo was.)

When Volo gets his pound of flesh, (when he realizes Arceus is not beholden to him, that the inherent alien morality Arceus holds is not a personal slight), Giratina will finally rest.

Anyways what I’m trying to say is: Arceus is never a person, but a nebulous embodiment of the connection shared between pokemon and humans. It tries to experience what it’s supposed to embody, but millennia of watching people be and cease has given it choice paralysis, apathy, and a hoarding issue. If something lasts forever next to it? Good.

Giratina was once a person. (Correction, a LOT of persons.) They don’t think very linearly either, but they have context on mortal matters and are thus the more benevolent and malicious of the two. One day, time will smooth them into something like Arceus. We can only hope the two keep each other in check.

THE DIFFERENCE OF LEGENDS ARCEUS GIRATINA VS PLATINUM PEARL GIRATINA

If the ancient version of giratina is an angry conglomerate of ghosts scorned by Arceus, the modern iteration of Giratina’s a creature that’s more settled in its skin and more assured in its duties. Giratina still has beef with Arceus, but they unionized into one being who’s love of the mortal world has triumphed over its ancestral grudge. One might even postulate they have shifted their anchor from Sinnoh the god, to Sinnoh the place.

((We call this character developement. Good for you, weird ghost worm!))

(((FULL DISCLOSURE, VOLO BEING FROM THE PAST IS INSPIRED FROM FOXFALL. You know. The fic that got me into this fandom. Please give it some love.)))

[hisuis-hero-akari]

Heh, Warden Ingo has kids, thats funny. Well, it’s good to meet you both. And yup! Survey corp Akari here, at your service. Just fixed the red sky last week.

Well, it’s nice to meet you both, Caleb and Fjord!

Tell Ingo I said hi for me, if possible.

Holy Arceus, Warden Ingo has kids?

Hi! Does Ingo remember me?

https://www.tumblr.com/hisuis-hero-akari

@hisuis-hero-akari

Caleb: only people from Hisui call dad that...wait...are you Akari? Dad talks about you all the time. he use to tell us stories about you and the clans stopping the red sky.

So, I'd say he probably remembers you.

it is Akari, right?

Sorry, guess we should introduce ourselves, huh,

I'm Caleb. and behind me is my twin brother Fjord.

Fjord: hey.

[mr-jack-letterman]

HELLO HI

God I love the Submas fandom, all of you are so nice <3

In any case, I have a silly Au for y'all to munch on.

Allow me to introduce you all to Covalent Twins :]

Covalent

Adjective

- Relating to or denoting chemical bonds formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms.

Or in this case, the sharing of Emmet between 2 Ingos from different timelines NSNDNNDDD.

This Au is essentially the answer to the question: "doesn't being sent to the distant past inherently mean you are also now long dead in the future you just left?"

The answer is yes and no btw

The explanation for this involves a lot of time nonsense that I'm very bad at explaining but the Tldr is basically this:

When Ingo gets sent to the past, this creates a connection between the past and the future. This makes time get all fucky and split into two separate timelines (Timeline A and Timeline B)

Timeline A:

Time in this timeline runs parallel to the future as long as Ingo stays within it (essentially, if Ingo stays in the past for 2 years, then 2 years pass in the present).

Due to this connection, Akari (aka Dawn) gets sent to this timeline (But not Timeline B) and the game events of PLA play out (+ a lot more Ingo bonding because uncle Ingo supremacy)

Akari manages to get her and Ingo sent back home with the power of Arceus, causing both timelines to merge back together again into one cohesive line with only the events of Timeline B being remembered by history.

Ingo and Emmet get their happy ending.

This Ingo got sent to Hisui when he was 29, stayed there for 2 years, and went home when he was 31.

And Timeline B:

This timeline was created as a cannon fodder timeline so Akari and Ingo can keep doing time shenanigans in Timeline A without disturbing the space time continuum even more.

This timeline is therefore not connected to the future the same way Timeline A is.

The Ingo of this timeline (Nicknamed "War" or "Warden" for simplicity.) lives through the PLA game events but with Rei taking the place of Akari.

War doesn't bond with him the same way Ingo does with Akari because Rei isn't a faller.

The events of the game are the exact same (minus the Arc phone, Rei taking the place of Akari, and catching Arceus).

Despite Rei calming the nobles and catching Palkia and Dialga, he is still not the chosen hero. Warden is unable to go home or regain his memories.

Warden lives in Hisui and serves as a warden for the Pearl Clan for a total of 7 years before dying alongside his partner pokemon, Gliscor (nicknamed Nimbasa), while protecting Lady Sneasler from a Zoroark attack at the age of 36.

Warden drifts as a ghost for many years, with only Nimbasa the Gliscor as company. He watches his friends grow old, and eventually die. They pass on to the afterlife, but Warden stays on earth, wandering the Alabaster Icelands and Mount Coronet, searching for people from a life he can't remember even in death.

Warden watches as Hisui changes into Sinnoh. Jubilife Village becomes Jubilife City. Pokemon species die out and new ones are born.

As the world slowly becomes more and more familiar, the great Sinnohs, Palkia and Dialga, take pity on the lost warden, and decide together to lead him home.

It may take 150 years, and many miles of travel, but Warden is pulled by an unknown force towards the Unova region. Though he is unable to touch anything or speak to anyone, it's all so painfully familiar.

He is pulled towards Nimbasa city, (ah! That's where he got the name from!) and eventually to an apartment.

There, he is greeted by a young girl, barely 17. A man in black, who looks exactly like him, give or take a few years and a few scars.

And a smiling man in white. The man he has been searching for for over 150 years...

And they're staring at him, truly staring at him, not through him.

Why is the man in white crying?

*evil laughter.mp3*

So yeah! The twins have an older brother now :D

I mean he's dead and also Ingo just 5 years older and from a different timeline but still!!!

If you've made it this far I believe you deserve a gold star ⭐ and also some art for your troubles.

So here's War and Nimbasa ↓

And some fluffy interaction between War and Emmet as a bandaid.

If you guys have any questions regarding how this Au works, or are interested in seeing more of it, don't hesitate to shoot me an ask :D

I hope I enjoyed reading about my silly Au, even if it was a bit long lol.

*fades back into the void of Submas fics.*

[onestepbackwards]

Self aware legends arceus (kinda, but also somehow pla in VR) + streamer au.

Player (us) is just a disembodied voice picked ONLY on stream and only chat can hear us. Chat can tell Akari/Reid abt what we say through tts. Which we can hear and flip out over. Eventually we just randomly start infodumping about other games we play (wholesome cute ones like slimerancher, horror like silent hill or resident evil, multiplayer surival like minecraft, whatever.) OR shit talking Volo before anyone knows what they did and talking about old glitch pokemon. Like MissingNo, the one that's just the female symbol that sings until the game crashes, the Bad Eggs. To the confusion of the chat and everyone in Hisui :3

Could you imagine the horror though

Like, imagine learning your favorite streamer got yeeted into the past several hundred years ago, and you think its a joke at first.

But its quickly shown to be real.

And then you (The Chat) starts hearing a voice that your favorite streamer Can Not Hear. The Hero is rightfully a bit Frightened™ about this, especially when their mods tell them that yeah, chat isn't fucking with them. 'Did you have another god like, help you without you knowing?'

They have no idea.

"At this point, my life is a party and I'm the piñata."

Why not! Apparently gods think its funny to oversee them.

Until chat is panicking, saying the voice is freaking out that The Hero is speaking. Are they not suppose to be able to??

Well, not the weirdest thing that has happened to the Hero this week...

Though it turns out the voice at least seems to be nice. It's like a buddy hanging out over their shoulder when they are adventuring sometimes.

[leggerefiore]

With Warden Ingo as his father and the hero of Hisui as his other parent, Erin finds himself in close contact with the Galaxy Team frequently - especially the Survey Corps. Laventon is quite charmed by the little guy and impressed by his manners. Ingo must be a real gentleman to raise such a well-behaved boy. He also is fascinated by his potential in battles and bringing out unknown sides to pokemon. Rei/Akari enjoys him like a strange younger sibling and often play with him while watching out for him. They respect the Hero a lot, and it is just a nice way to pass the time, really. Erin learns crafting tricks and various things from them.

Captain Cyllene is the most captured by the little boy, though. Something inside her cannot help but be gentle towards the lad in her office. He tries so hard to help his parents around, even if he doesn't really know what he is doing. She watches him carefully, even letting him sit in her lap a few times while his parents are busy, and she offered to watch him. Somehow, he really makes her ponder having a family of her own. She does wish to pass the Galaxy Team onto her descendants, after all. As a moment, she keeps a photographic print of herself, the hero, and Erin saved - especially after Ingo, hero, and Erin return to their own time.

Somewhere, Lenie digs out this print and stares in confusion at her friend and their parent being pictured with her ancestor. Cyrus is even more shocked. He is convinced this must be faked somehow.

AAML: Diamond and Pearl - Chapter 82

When we last left our heroes, they were still stranded in the Hisui Region, and Ash was attacked by an Alpha Abomasnow, along with a girl who looks just like Survey Corps member Akari.

Things are getting tense in Jubilife Village. What will happen next? Click the link below to find out!

[prisonicmorality]

Murmurs could be heard among the trees, certain oceanic hairs lit up with the afternoon. A short person in a yukata was holding a peach and seemed to want to take more, but ended up falling on the grass. His giggle dispersed, an embarrassed and smooth one, squatting down.

Who is Akari looking at and why has he seen those golden hairs in some dream?

''Oh...'' Akari had only said that, lost in his thoughts and of course, a bit shy.

The beloved of Arceus, what a destiny he was naive about, if only wanted to take a walk on one of his many trips (rarely leaves Sinnoh as he stays in the library most of the time), what would happen to him later. Had spent centuries, millennia, to end up marveling at a world he did not recognize, caressing that peach, one of his first contacts with the environment, those crystalline eyes reflecting a genuine sparkle, so ephemeral.

If only he could stay a little longer like this.

Hisui was lovely in the last days of summer.

Sorry. Sinnoh.

He should be used to calling it that by now, but the name always felt wrong on his tongue. It was essentially the difference between a coffin and a sarcophagus: both meant similar things, but were vastly different in various ways.

He hadn't been there in a long time.

Last time he'd seen it, he had sworn to never return unless he had no where else to see. But nostalgia had called him back. Or maybe it had been Arceus playing some vicious prank on him, toying with his impulse or planting the seed in his brain to return all to see—

"Akari?" The name, like Sinnoh, felt poisonous and wrong on his tongue as it escaped him in a gasp as if he'd been punched in the gut. He wished he'd been able to stop the shocked utterance from escaping him in the first place, as the name felt cursed the way he'd said it.

There was no masking the conflicting emotions crossing his face as the color drained from it. Confusion, shock, discomfort.

That damn kid—

—Why was he there?

Why? Why?! You should be dead! Dead of old age, buried or propped up in some museum, heralded as the great hero, Arceus's Chosen! Not here! Maybe... maybe this is a descendant... ?

He opened, then closed his mouth, uncertain as to what he wanted to say or what he was even supposed to say.

Yeah. Yeah, that has to be it. It can't be him.

Finally, the shock fell away from his face, and he forced a tight smile. "Ah— sorry, haha, you just looked familiar. Need some help there?" He offered, despite every nerve in his body telling him to run and not look back. Maybe he would get lucky and the other hadn't heard the name at all.

WHAT IN ARCEUS’S NAME IS THIS DUDE DOING?!?

And what is with his outfit? He looks like he is doing a bad cosplay.

[lobsessed-fanl]

Au’s and Oc’s!

This will probably be a long post! And will probably be updated regularly!

Au’s!

Not written!

Gritina finds Akari during the red sky and turns her into a mini giritina. Akari finds home with Giritina and the distortion world.  Ingo and Rei fix the sky, but things still aren’t looking right.

Rei (Skyfaller in this one) was originally born in Univa. They later moved to Paldea. (Rei is Violet MC and Legends: Arceus MC). Suddenly, when he, Penny, Nemona, Arven, Kieran, and Carmine are in Area zero, he is transported to a strange land. How will his friends and pokemon react, when he disappears and when he returns? Especially considering he doesn’t remember them, or his past at all.

Emmet and Elesa were given a strange device. It seems to let them watch videos from some child’s extremely dangerous journey. Akari falls into Hisui and finds a way to video record what happens, hoping it would help with her memories. She doesn’t know that they are getting sent to some people a certain warden once knew.

After Akari’s exile, she gets adopted by Zoroarks and Zorua’s. Later she is deemed to be Lady Zoroarks warden. Eventually, Akari’s name doesn’t fit anymore and she changes it to Shou. Warden Shou starts a new life there, unrecognisable to others. The others keep looking for Akari, not realising she is right there the whole time. Arceus decides he needs someone else to fix the sky. Perhaps a parallel of a certain warden would work?

Ingo has been missing for four years when suddenly Emmet starts having strange dreams. He sees the perspective of a young girl, proclaimed as a hero he learned about in history class, but he can’t control what they do or say. He can only see what they see and feel what they feel. He tries to ignore it until he sees a familiar looking warden through the hero’s eyes.

(Pokemon Oc!) Hero is a person with one task. Save people. That is all they can remember. Not their name. Not their past. Or maybe they could remember their past, but through the centuries they’ve been alive it’s been blurred. Their Lucario stands by their side, along with golden silhouettes of the first noble pokemon. After all, when your title becomes your purpose and all you are, why not make it your name as well? Well, the life crisis’s can wait for now. They have a person they need to send home, and they don’t exactly have as much time as they do.

In the process of being written!

Golden Memories: After Ingo and Akari leave Hisui, everything about them begins to fade away. Even the memories of them. Will Rei be able to find out why and stop it before it is too late or will the future forget about two of Hisui’s greatest battlers and hero’s like the ground they walked on.

An ember marks the sign of safety!: After Akari gets extremely injured Arceus grants a blessing to heal her body. But in order for Arceus to heal her body he needs to take it. So while Arceus holds onto Akari’s body, she is given the temporary form of a cyndaquil. Her pokemon take it upon themselves to take care of her in this form. … but maybe they need a humans help when figuring out how little pups work. It’s jot like any of them took care of hatchlings, let alone injured one’s before.

Birthday for a faller: It’s Akari’s birthday! (Well, more like falling day, but who cares) The clans are working with the galaxy team to get something set up! Especially after they realized she couldn’t remember any of her’s!

Written!

Blue hues, sparkling in the snow: Akari is exiled from Jubilife, and is not allowed help on the excuse that it could cause war. Volo is insistent that he has a place for her to stay, but she doesn’t truly trust him. She gets past the lake trials alone. Fights, quells, and catches Palkia, Dialga and Giratina. (Volo was too slow). But as she walks down the other side of the mountain while the sky clears, exhausted from the fights, she unknowingly walks into the territory of an Alpha Garchomp. Well, now there are some Zorua’s that seem to be nice. Huh.

Rei’s gossip train: Rei is a little gossip. Some love it and some hate it. Today Kamado is going to understand why people hate it. On a completely definitely unrelated note, Kamado is balding.

From beach to beach: Akari goes to Sinnoh’s temple for the last time. She gets a quest to go to Paldea. She awakes at a beach, meeting a person a little too eager to battle her. And a little grass cat joins her on this new journey. (The start of a larger story.)

A magical messenger: Akari was given a special ability, to be able to travel to the future, for 5 hours once a week. She had decided to use this to be able to give Warden Ingo’s “Man In White” messages from Ingo. But how will the man in white react to this? Who knows. But the almighty gave her the ability to know where his house is. And Ice cream is awesome. ——Emmet has been receiving some weird letters. They look like verrry old letters and have a weird stamp. They seem to be addressed to a man in white, and from. Warden Ingo? Well that is a weird coincidence, right? Ingo? A warden? What even is a warden? And who is delivering these messages?

Take a break beloved fallers: In Sinnoh (Hisui) 1678, a hero completes her quest. Now she and her dad can go home. In Unova 2023, two gym leaders and a subway boss waits for someone in black. There is a light on a broken temple. There is a light in the middle of a tunnel. These things are connected.

Breaking Point Akari becomes slightly possessed by Arceus after catching Palkia and Dialga. She becomes frenzied, and so does her pokemon. How do the clans and jubilife solve this? They need to think about how she did the same for the nobles, and perhaps some help from some people Ingo once knew. (Idea from nell0-0’s arkarius au on tumblr. Check them out! It’s super cool. Love their art.)

OC’s

-Pokemon!-

Hero: Legendary hero of Hisui. Immortal. Can be visible/in human form or be invisible/in ghost form. 6ft tall. 17??. Has a Lucario always by his side. Always wears a Lucario mask. Cryptic. No one except for the protag usually see’s them. Gender fluid/ doesn’t care about gender or pronouns. Call them what you want. Pokemon fear them, and even alphas know better than to attack him. Can understand pokemon now. Light greyish brownish hair that is in a long braid. Wears a tunic that looks like a mixture of the old Pearl and Diamond clan tunic, along with a torn up red cape. Can summon the original noble pokemon. Has Arceus’s blessing.

Pan Pan! My self insert, kinda. Not quite though. She is in all the games I have. Aka, (in order) Pokemon Violet, pokemon legends Arceus, Pokemon snap, and pokemon sword. She has purple, shoulder length hair that is wavey. Very friendly and caring towards others. Forgiving, but never forgets. Catches WAY too many pokemon. A jack of all trades, master of a few.

[itsnightslashtime]

Amethyst: *sigh* don’t you see akari. Nobody will care about you or your impact. I learned that. After all my attempts to make him recognize my work. All my attempts to see worth and trust in me. …*punches a wall* IGNORED! ALL BECAUSE OF MY FAKE SISTER, HOLIDAY! NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TRIED, WAS IT NOT ENOUGH?!? WHY?!? WHY WAS I IGNORED?!? *tear filled her eyes in anger*

[... She looks over at Cup and Mochi, who are poised and ready to remove Amethyst from the premises.]

This is not the place for trauma dumping. This is my house. This is my sister's house. This is our mother's house.

Take it outside.

[nekoanything]

**This is my personal opinion**

As everyone knows, Pokemon BW has different content from past generations. The main characters Touya(Hilbert) and Touko(Hilda) are children who have grown up to be about 16-18 years old. When compared to the characters from generations 1-4, their ages will be About 10-13 years, Interesting game content, very good soundtrack. rival characters Cheren and Bel(Bianca) N (he is in every position in the game) have good character development. gym leaders are starting to play a bigger role, as well as the ending scene, making it a great game and a memorable one for top in many people's hearts.

I think the game won't remake BW any time soon because they brought a lot of Pokemon BW into the game and a lot of Pokemon SV. It seems too deliberate. But if game freak will make legend like PLA before remake BW, I think it's very worth doing.

remake BW , I can always wait, 1 year, 2 years, 10 years, many years, I can always wait.

If really remake BW, please really remake it. Don't remake it like BDSP. If you remake it like that, don't do it because I'm very disappointed :(

I don't remember many details (I haven't played in a long time). But I really like the story. During the 4th and 5th gens, the development team seemed very intent on making games.

BW says that there is a legend of Unova, two heroes are brothers, older brother chooses the truth. younger brother chooses ideals

Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, these 3 Pokemon were once the same thing (Pokedex says that Kyurem eats humans, but I don't know if it really does…)

BW2 says that Touya(Hilbert) and Touko(Hilda) disappeared for 2 years. Where did they go? because they was looking for N or were they transported to another dimension? like Teru(Rei) and Shou(Akari).The theory is that these 2 people might actually be Kouki(Lucas) and Hikari(Dawn).

Nobori(Ingo) is sent to Hisui. So where did Kudari(Emmet) go? is he in Unova or was he sent to another dimension like Nobori(Ingo)?

I keep thinking There are many suspicious things. game freak to solve the problem!!! I want to know!!!

[theredhotsillypeppers]

“She didn’t want to be the Hero of Hisui. She just was. And despite her distaste of the title and awe she inspired in the village, she still wanted to be respected. It just seemed that she had to become the hero first to gain that respect, that acceptance that seemed to be doled out only to the most worthy Hisuians, those who proved their worth through their skills or dedication…”
