THANKS BRAIN

Replaying Legends: Arceus and watching Trigun at the same time has lead me to thinking about aus

Nai and Vash are lost twins, one each found by a different of the Hisuian clans

Nai is found by the Pearl clan, Vash by Diamond

Nai lives with a great aloofness to the world around him, though I’d say he’d see the new colonizers are invaders Vash lives very in the moment with the people around him, wants to see the future of coexisting with the settlers

I’d like to say they both work closely with their guardians and for a long time, they just hadn’t met, though Nai was on the front-lines during their clans’ time of conflict (Vash doing his best to be a peace-keeper, they just hadn’t crossed paths at the time)

Nai absolutely has his partner Pokemon as an Alakazam, Scyther, though his first Pokemon was a Shiny Ralts- Gallade is his most powerful Pokemon that he only battles with when he wants to express an overkill, essentially.

For Vash, it was tougher, but after figuring out they both had a Ralts (Vash’s became a Gardevoir), the other two fell into place- a Shiny Luxray, and the Hisuian Goodra, for it’s neediness

Nai is the go-to for battle strategy and, well, killing if need be, and has grown to detest the way his adopted clan relies on him for that. He actually doesn’t want to hurt anyone, he just wants it all to stop. He doesn’t really have anyone he’s close to- Legato is an outsider in the clan and he finds his behaviour and personality detestable, and he’s only just learned about having a twin and it’s breaking his brain a bit. ‘Lord Sinnoh, how could give me my brother so close in space but keep me from seeing?’ Sort of crisis of faith the moment he sees Vash, honestly.

Meanwhile, Vash actually has people like Meryl in his clan, he has friends even if he’s felt like something has always been missing in his life. While the clans were in conflict, he would attempt diplomacy as often as possible, and was known to be a great defender. He is tired though- as much as Meryl helps him through the day, as close as they are, battles are hard to live through. The moment he sees Nai post-conflict he feels the last piece drop into place- and, while he could blame Sinnoh for all the time lost, instead, he tries to express to Nai that ‘now we have time to get to know each other, a future to look forward to!’ and oops Nai is just not receptive to this concept. He’s also less into the faith than Nai would be, ngl, so his core isn’t as rocked. Can’t blame God for everything if you don’t expect God to be responsible for everything, you know?

Anyways that’s just some thoughts I had lmao
