I’m like. Brainstorming for Pit and Dark Pit’s Pokémon verses now. Because Volo has that STRONG Greek motif + has Celestica blood, which. Probably means Pit and Dark Pit are Celestica descendants? Which also also validates my take I posted forever ago that “oh lol Hisui would probably be the best fit for Pit and Dark Pit’s Pokémon verses for no other reason than it’s in the past.” I was more on the nose than I thought /lh

My only hesitation though is, I like standard Decidueye and Galarian Rapidash for these two. Especially the former because standard Decidueye’s shiny is black which I thought fit Dark Pit really well. On one hand, the two of them could still have standard Decidueye in this time period, since the dex entry for Hisuian Decidueye says “evolution is influenced by environment,” which implies that standard Decidueye also exists when PLA happens? As opposed to it being like “Hisui Decidueye evolved into standard Decidueye over time.” Theoretically Hisui Decidueye could still exist in the modern day in Sinnoh and just be called Sinnohan Decidueye. But on the other hand the smaller wings and proficiency in land combat are also a vibe.....hhhh it’s just a question of "if I put them in Hisui, do I want Dark Pit to have a black Decidueye badly enough to try and justify it lore wise.” Totally at a loss for Galarian Rapidash though. I’m more willing to bend on that one but hhhh pastel unicorn go brrr

Regional form crisis aside though, I totally love the idea of Pit and Dark Pit being wardens in some capacity. It Just Makes Sense given the lord/ride Pokémon have divine blessings so for the angels to watch over those kinds of Pokémon just. Fits. The only issue is that all ten nobles have wardens canonically already so I have no idea how I’d begin to work that LSHDFKJLANDKGJ
