#pokemon crossover verse

[sege-h]

I stumbled upon this song this morning and it immediately made me think of both Kamina and Lance in the bad end au and I was SAD until I got it out of my system in some way

[ardynzunia]

“It’s a concussion with an aftershock of stasis, time is the only treatment needed I'm sure,” he said with a tight smile.

He would need to leave soon. Before the monster under that smile tried to drag him into a lab. Tonight would be best he thought, while Lysandre slept. He’d lied about the stasis still lingering though, while the concussion remained his magic was back. Not that he’d revealed it. But he could sense thin places in this world, he was pretty sure with Levi’s help he could use one to go home.

“My name is Prince Ruby Lucis Caleum-Furia.” He answered, “Son of Lord Tredd Furia and his Royal Majesty Regis Lucis Caelum the 113th king of Lucis.”

All the titles were real, as was the parentage legally. Though most of the time he called Regis grandpa and the title to his father the Glaive had only been given to protect their family. If it weren’t needed to make sure Lysandre knew he’d be missed, he wouldn’t have mentioned it at all. He also was sure not to mention his birthplace. For Lysandre, as all other public people, his mother was the wife of Tredd’s friend Axis Who acted as a surrogate. She felt like a mom sometimes anyway, though he called her aunt. Considering his dads and she and her husband were all in a polycule.

"I'm sure they'll be so relieved when I go home," He said. "especially the shield and sword of the king. Clarus and Cor knowing sending out a team of Crownsgaurd or Kingsglaive only had to be a precaution will be a relief! They might even give you something as a thank you!”

He said it cheerfully, like a child who thought their family could only be kind. But he knew the implication was that an army and swift execution was available if Ruby *doesn't* return home safe. Not that he'd threaten Lysandre out-loud of course. But Levi the messenger still sat in his pocket as they always did, and Grandpa Regis saw him disappear. The paths to follow were there. He knew his family was coming, If not the human's than the Tidemother.

He would aid this one, that was guaranteed. Though sometimes it was valuable to slow the treatment, be paced with it, make someone reliant upon the care one gives. It was necessary, especially in unique case studies like this one. Even so, he was never outright 'cruel' to any child. Not even the ones he's already defined as nothing more than tools, specimen, experiments.

No use being needlessly cruel. In that, it was so ugly, that attitude unattractive, and those actions nothing but abhorrent in his mind.

" no need to apologize. you're in an unknown environment, and whatever brought you here was...unexpected and possibly harmful to you. my deepest apologies we have to take so long to prep treatment, to go about it. we really do mean to help. "

Lysandre hummed, before kneeling down to get closer to eye level, briefly scanning Ruby up and down before returning to his face. Lysandre's own smile returned, it was soft, kind.

" how about we make it so that you're not talking to strangers, hm? a little more knowledge, a little more for you to know. i can already see you're more aware than children your age normally are, no use disrespecting that maturity. i am sure you've heard my name already, but i am lysandre, can i have your name? "

Lysandre held out his hand, palm half exposed as if to ask for a shake, though it also worked partially as a way to show he had nothing on him. Nothing that would harm Ruby, he was showing his left hand, his dominant hand.

OK SO. i wanted to put together some different verses & AUs that i could potentially use for Johnny here!! :D there's a lot of different possibilities to be had with him, so this list may be changed & updated as time goes on!

also definitely feel free to tell me if you wanna explore any of these with ur muse if any of it catches ur attention!!

STANDARD / CROSSOVER: This is just your regular ol' Johnny Bravo. Nothing out of the ordinary here! He can be just about anywhere in his 20's here. This will be the go-to verse for threads unless specified otherwise. ( TAG — VERSE: Crossover )

TUMBLR JOHNNY: This is a special Johnny. :) Still your classic, regular Johnny Bravo by all accounts, same as above—however, it's more interactive! For example, say Johnny gets a lot of anonymous messages and questions and such, and he gives an IC response! NPC characters can also thrive here, so you could get as creative with it as you want. Occasionally, I'll also post my own writing drabbles or have fun events to go along with it, much like this therapy session drabble i wrote here! In essence there really isn't ANY verse attached to this one, and you could possibly even apply this to other verses instead if it could be applicable! ( TAG — VERSE: TBA )

TEEN: In this verse, Johnny will be his teenage self! Which can be anywhere from 13 – 17. Here, he is NOT as buff as he is now (except for age 17, specifically); in fact, he was actually quite scrawny as a teenager! It was also the 1980's when he was a teen, however that part can be optional if you'd prefer. ( TAG — VERSE: Teenage Johnny )

OLDER: For this verse, Johnny can be anywhere in his 40's - 50's. Older Johnny's character can vary a little depending on the setting and thread. Here's a post describing my general concept for a middle-aged Johnny! ( TAG — VERSE: Older Johnny)

POKEMON: Here, Johnny is a Pokemon trainer (team TBA)! But despite what you might assume... he's not really much of a fan of battling. Not to say that he won't battle if put to the challenge, but he's actually more of a fan of contests himself—in which he instructs his Pokemon to show off their moves, literally and figuratively! You know, all for show, baby! ( TAG — VERSE: Pokemon Trainer Johnny )

THE LAST OF US: Okay, basically, imagine Johnny's in the place of Joel in TLOU! If you've got a child muse, they could potentially fill the role of Ellie—however, if not, the "Ellie" role will instead go to Little Suzy! Keep in mind, please, that I'm only going off of the TV show version of TLOU here, so I am not familiar with the games or the full story yet! ( TAG — VERSE: TLOU Johnny )

EVIL HENCHMAN: Got an evil villain character of some sort? Johnny could be their henchman, if you'd like! Just know that he's not a very GOOD one, and will probably mess up all your plans by complete accident. Often makes a good "foil" character in this regard. ( TAG — VERSE: Henchman Johnny )

MEDIEVAL / KNIGHT: Based on an idea with @riiese ! Here, Johnny's a knight in the Medieval era! I imagine instead of sunglasses, he wears a big ol' helmet that covers his eyes and the gigantic pomdadour is still just hiding under there LOL. He goes around saving "maidens in distress," and thwarting any foe that stands in his way, in his... own goofy, cartoonish ways. ( TAG — VERSE: Sir Bravo the Brave )

PRINCE: Similar to the Knight AU, this verse may typically take place in the Medieval era, or any other old-timey era where princes would be a thing. Here, Johnny is royalty, and an heir to his mother, Queen Bunny! He desperately searches for a princess so that he won't have to assume the throne all by himself someday. ( TAG — VERSE: Prince Johnmark )

TOUR ROADIE: Based on an idea with @burnlikeme & @mfniccals ! Johnny is a tour roadie, riding around with singers & musicians as they perform around the world. He is not a celebrity himself, but is extremely starstruck around them, and hopes that this could be his ticket to stardom if he plays his cards right! ( TAG — VERSE: Tour Roadie Johnny )

MILITARY / G.U.N: Based on an idea with @drrobctnik ! Here, Johnny's a new recruit in the military. He's just gotten his beloved hair shaved—which may not seem like a big deal to most, but to Johnny it's like the end of the world, and because he initially put up such a resistance to it he's already on bad terms with some of his higher-ups and peers. ( TAG — VERSE: Military Johnny )

BABYSITTER: Got a child muse that could use a babysitter? Look no further! Johnny's got you covered. He may be in over his head, however, as Johnny has little experience with kids and is prone to making plenty of mistakes. It's worth noting that this verse happens to take place in Johnny's late twenties to early thirties (28 – 33 years old), sometime after his mama has passed away. ( TAG — VERSE: Babysitter Johnny )

STUNT DOUBLE: Based on my own personal story for Johnny, in which he briefly works as a stunt double for movies & actors for a time! He's not much of a celebrity himself—he merely works for them. And like his Tour Roadie verse, he's absolutely starstruck to be around them! However, it's worth noting that this verse happens to take place in Johnny's late twenties to early thirties (28 – 33 years old), sometime after his mama has passed away. ( TAG — VERSE: Stunt Double Johnny )

WAITER: Same as above, based on my own person story for Johnny—but here, he works as a waiter at a 5-star restaurant for cuisine of various Asian cultures. It's worth noting that this verse happens to take place in Johnny's late twenties to early thirties (28 – 33 years old), sometime after his mama has passed away. ( TAG — VERSE: Waiter Johnny )

CASHIER: Here, Johnny works as a cashier at a music shop! He's starting to realize he may be a bit out of touch with what everyone likes in their music nowadays—he's got some old-school tastes himself, which gives him a harder time if the more modern crowd were to ask him for music recommendations. It's worth noting that this verse happens to take place in Johnny's late twenties to early thirties (28 – 33 years old), sometime after his mama has passed away. ( TAG — VERSE: Cashier Johnny )

[rosetyler42]

Here's an old funny WIR-Verse bit inspired by the opening of The Bad Guys. XD I love the idea of these two hanging out on one of the trains, possibly to or from Hero's Duty. Both chaos-loving badass gals who went and made their own way from families they feel didn't fit them. Smashing convention in their wake and taking a mischievious JOY in their work.

It's kind of an odd relationship though. Ericka's bouncy, cheerful non-judgmental anc not particularly greedy, but she's a bit of a Debbie. She doesn't get the point of having money if you're not going to DO something with it. Shego, on the other hand, is a somewhat grumpy and smart-alecy criminal in it for the Evuls and the violence, and claims criminals don't BUY anything. Though thankfully, she doesn't judge Ericka for her weirdness or love of violence and Addams-esque things. But I could see them having a real Snake and Wolf dynamic XD They'd be friends, but there's a lot of back and forth witty banter since you kind of have two Agatha Harknesses in the room.

Bonus: Eve the Sylveon is of course Ericka's pokemon partner, while Bella (short for Bellatrix) the Shiny Alolan Meowth is Shego's.

Galvantula-Girl: I’m the real Galvantula-Girl!

Galvantula-Girl 2: No, I’m the real Galvantula-Girl!

Pavitr, aiming his web shooters at both: Who are we shooting?

Hobie: There’s only one way to tell… What’s 7x4?

Galvantula-Girl 2, confidently: 28!

Hobie, narrows his eyes: Wrong answer 

*Shoots webs at the clone sticking them to to wall*

Pavitr: What? but 7x4 is 28!

Hobie: Yeah, but G.G. does that little finger thing.

Galvantula-Girl, Mumbling while Counting her fingers: 28!

[The fake Galvantula-Girl turned out to be the real Galvantula-Girl’s version of Chameleon, who was a mutated Ditto who fused with it’s Trainer’s mind after a freak accident.]

[iblue-kitzune]

*shyly pokes her head out of the void*

Okay sooo......I'm kinda slow at writing fics and posting them online no matter what site it is, but......I will say that this new one is coming along very, very nicely.

AND THAT'S WITHOUT ME CHANGING A THING TOO MANY TIMES, YOU KNOW?

......yeah *coughs a bit awkwardly*

So anyway! Here you go! *throws a piece of her writing towards you before disappearing into the void again*

---

Mew didn’t think things could get worse on this strange island, but when she felt that evil aura approaching the area at a rapid pace, as if they couldn’t wait to meet and greet her with possible violence there, she froze for a minute, overwhelmed by the presence of this new being. And she wondered why now? Why did they show up the second this place started falling apart instead of earlier, when she along with that man and Higurashi’s group came here? Dropped by an unknown force from a dark portal that had sucked them in, no less? Like a scene out of a movie that couldn’t decide on what it wanted to be and just mixed a few genres together, hoping the end results would turn out fine for the rest of the story. 

But this isn’t a fairytale. This is real life and I don’t like being in the dark of not knowing what’s to come.

Which, of course, included whoever this new threat was. 

Freaking great…

I’m a healer more than a fighter, but… Mew gritted her teeth as she went back into the woods, I need to stop it before it reaches the clearing Higurashi’s in. 

Painful as it was to abandon the young woman, she knew that Higurashi wouldn’t be dying anytime soon despite her severe injuries—which could easily kill any other mortal but her for some odd or inexplicable reason. A reason that Mew would love to speculate on if she didn’t have her mind set on investigating the owner of the evil aura, first, but duty calls. And that was something she herself would never ignore, unlike a few Pokémon she knew and regretted being associated with sometimes. 

“...GOOO……” 

She flinched, almost crashing into a tree at the sight of a transparent claw wrapped up in dark purple energy erupting from the ground about a foot away from the river and her spot above it.

“......AWAAAAAY…!”

Mew tried, but she couldn’t dodge in time and got struck by its attack which sent her into a tree this time, crying out of surprise.

BOOM!

It can’t be… This kind of aura—

“YOU. ARE. NOT. WELCOME. HERE!”

—I know it! An alien from that group is sealed here! Which explains the transparency of their hand.

Mew rolled over then teleported out of the way to avoid the claw’s second attack, letting it hit the ground instead as the snow immediately melted away, leaving a huge, black crater behind that spread its tiny cracks throughout the whole area until they caught on fire which shocked her to the point of missing her foe’s third and fourth attack—

“LEAVE, OR DIEEEEE!”

—but not their fifth and final, devastating attack that formed into a glowing blue, purple, and red beam of light midway before it swallowed everything in sight.

…Damn it.

Pain.

So much agonizing pain.

That was all she really felt before darkness came in. 

I’ve…failed you all… Sorry, everyone…

[welcome-to-roomba-fazbender]

[mostlydcbutotherstufftoo]

I never said it was ONLY stuff for DC. And there needs to be more fanart of Joltik with Miles. Electric spiders. It draws itself.

[kingdom-falls]

Me: Hmmm I really can't choose a favorite character from In Stars and Time, all of them are so well written and multidimensional it's hard to choose just one.

Also me: *Makes four separate AUs exclusively about post canon Loop*

Me: .... Well guess I know huh

[storylocke]

[P5/Alola crossover scene]

Host:  [gets slipped a cue card] oh! [stands up] And now we’d like to pose a few questions to some random members of our audience. 

[As she walks down the aisle, people raising their hands all “pick me!” She at last stops next to the group. Holds out the mic to Kiawe sitting on the end of the aisle.]

Host:  Ah, you. [pulls up card to read what was prepared] Hypothetically speaking, IF the Phantom Thieves were to exist, do you think what they're doing is right?

Team:  ?! [all of them turn to him in dismay]

Hiro:  [bitterly under his breath.] Random member my ass.

Keala: [elbows him]

Kiawe:  [No, no. He has to agree. It feels a little too on the nose to pick him out with a question regarding the most recent turn of events. Leans into the mic as he tries to keep his gaze on Ilima, not the host] I think they're able to do more than the police.

Keala:  [soft sighs] Kiawe….

Ilima:  [leans back slightly into his seat with a bit of a smile] Growing up in Alola myself, I'm aware that our forces are under equipped for the task. But to their credit, we believe these so-called Phantom Thieves are a threat too great for any local task force to take on alone. That's why I'm here to announce that, as of last night, the case of the Phantom Thieves was transferred over to the International Police.

Kiawe:  [clears throat and motions to take the mic back] Is the confession of a single corrupt instructor really enough of a “great threat” to need that kind of man power?

Team:  …. [Honestly holding their breath at this point. If the rest of the audience wasn’t already kinda looking in their direction, would probably try to get his attention.]

Host:  [Honestly not sure if she should head back down or not, but seems to be beaming at the hot debate that seems to be brewing. Looks back to Ilima for a reply]

Ilima:  Under normal circumstances, I would think not. However, I’m sure you’ve at least heard of the case with Ein, a formerly wanted man from Orre, who also had a sudden need to turn himself in last month. The chain of events were too similar to be a coincidence. And being connected to people from two different regions does make this an international affair, but it’s potentially more serious than that.

Audience:  ??? [cautious glances and whispers all around]

Host:  Oh my! Would you be able to explain to us exactly what makes it so ~dangerous~ then? Some people have started to say that these confessions have proven to be a good thing.

Ilima:  “Good” is a highly debatable term when it comes to dealing with criminals. They are still human after all. Whether or not people think they deserved it, I find the Phantom Thieves’ actions to be highly unethical. To force this change of heart is almost no better than brainwashing. [shakes head] Don’t misunderstand. Ein was a long time threat that has been trouble even for the Interpol to deal with. A high profile criminal. But this time it was a much smaller affair that was on someone’s personal request; which we found had been posted in a recently made Festival Plaza dedicated to the heroics of the Phantom Thieves. How do they do this? Why? What is their range? These are all questions we need answers to because even if what Mr. Elator did was truly horrendous, it bears a bit like the start of a slippery slope. Where is the line before the witch hunting begins and people get hurt over petty complaints?

Audience Member:  [shouts out] I heard they ONLY go after criminals.

Team:  ??? [well, it’s good to know some people are on their side]

Ilima:  As I said, it is all purely speculation right now, and as we only just opened the case. There’s still a lot of evidence to sort through in these two trials. However, I am here to assure the people of Alola that we are not going to tolerate the fear and uncertainty instilled by having an anonymous group of vigilantes deciding they can change the masses to their suit their idea of justice. As an example, allow me to pose you another question.

Host:  … [goes to lower the mic again to Kiawe]

Ilima:  If a friend of yours, say, the girl next to you-

Keala:  o.O [had started to cover her face, but sits up to realize they’re talking about her]

Hau:  o.o; [looks to her as well]

Ilima:  If she were to suddenly start acting strange, a change of heart even, would you believe it's because she was guilty of something? Or that she merely ticked off someone with certain connections? Would she “deserve it” just because the Phantom Thieves were told she was bad? Or would you want your own form of justice for what happened to her since you should know her better than them? While no one has come to the defense of these criminals, it’s only a matter of time before they target the wrong person.

Kiawe:  I would think if there’s only been two cases that were over a month apart, these “attacks” aren’t dealt out so easily. I…. [Hesitates so he can choose his words carefully] I can’t say I understand how or why they do this, but I should hope they would choose their targets as delicately as you choose your cases. With evidence and research before taking it on.

Ilima:  [A little smug as though he’s winning this debate] Well unless you or I were to have some way of asking them, I guess we'll never know.

[More whispers start to run through the crowd]

Host:  An excellent point on both sides~! Though, Detective, if that were true, then that would make the Phantom Thieves similar to the police then, wouldn’t it?

Ilima:  [smiles] Indeed. It’s a bit intriguing to hear such a strong defense for them. Except, they still operate outside of the law and by their own judgment to what is “right.” And I will fully reiterate that while it may be good for now, such power is looking to be easily abused. There may only be two large scale operations that the public is aware of, but with a more intensive investigation, it may reveal there are far more cases still to be discovered. But thank you for giving us all some food for thought.

Host:  [Oh, you done then? Seems they’re being moved to commercial, so she heads back down to the stage] Well! I know I said we had time for a few questions, but that one really threw us all for a doozy! Why don’t we take a poll? How many in our audience think the Phantom Thieves are in the right? And how many agree with our Detective? We’ll have the results when we come back!

[Without seeing the results, the scene fades to after the show as the audience is leaving] 

Hau:  [Saddened and sounds full of uncertainty] Well that sure was… enlightening. Hiro:  Yeah, but there's no way those bastards didn't target Kiawe on purpose.

Keala:  [Nods and looks up at him on that note] You okay? I got nervous when she stopped by us, but you were kind of amazing back there.

Kiawe:  [Flushes a bit with embarrassment] Oh… um… Thank you. I admit, I didn’t mean to get so heated with him. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time I've had to speak with police who seem like they’re trying to get me to admit to any involvement. [Looks down with a bit of shame to admit that.] 

Rotom:  [Softly, with a mix of concern and defensiveness for their friend’s sake] Either way, Hau izz right. I think you got him to zzay more than he intended to. We need to talk to ZZoffy about the Fezztival Plazza being watched.

Hiro:  Eh, it was on the T.V., he’ll probably hear on his own. I’m sure the media is gonna be swarming all over the interview later. 

Keala:  Yeah… [crosses her arms across her stomach like she’s feeling sick just thinking of all that attention] And it sure gave him a platform to paint us as the bad guys here. He does… have a point. >.>

Boys:  ???

Keala:  Using all this to force people into changing does make it sound like an abuse of power. Even if they’re criminals, is it really right for us to get involved like this?

Rotom:  That’zz not for Ilima to decide. You all received your Perzzona as a call to injustice. Legal or not, it izz for you to follow what you feel izz right. 

Hau:  In that case, we should take some time to think about it before we make our next move. Wanna split up for now and we’ll meet at the mall around eight?

Keala:  Fine by me, I need to run by the house anyway. 

[Hau and Hiro just wave her off as she leaves, and with a little nod of agreement, Rotom slips away into Hiro’s backpack as usual]

Hiro:  [Lightly slaps Hau on the back] While she does that, I think WE need to make a stop by the lab. 

Hau:  Yeah, and I think he should come with. [Looks to Kiawe] Would that be okay?

Kiawe:  [seems to have been lost in thought during all this] Hm?

Hau:  The Dimensional Research Lab run by Professor Burnet. It’ll be on the way home. 

Kiawe:  Ah. I don’t see why not. 

Hiro:  Cool. I’m gonna grab something out of the vending machine then.

Hau:  ‘Kay, I’m gonna grab a drink real quick, too.

Kiawe:  I’ll meet you both at the door.

[As the other two dart away around the corner, Kiawe doesn’t seem to get very far before a familiar voice calls over to him. He steps back against the wall to let a few people continue to pass by as he watches Ilima trot up the steps to meet him.]

Kiawe:  Yes?

Ilima:  I’m glad I managed to catch you. [warm smile] I thought I saw you in the audience, but I wasn’t sure until they made you speak up. 

Kiawe:  [MADE being the key word there, given he didn’t normally like speaking out like that. Still, it was nice to actually see Ilima more like his usual self instead of the arrogant tone he gave onstage. Slides his hands behind his back as he leans against the wall more casually] I apologize for putting you on the spot like that. I’m sure you only wanted a “yes” or “no” answer. 

Ilima:  [waves it off] Actually I wanted to thank you for that. There are so few people these days who are willing to challenge me. [Heh] Being a certified genius, I suppose that makes them feel I must be infallible. Untrue, of course, but who wants to be the one to tell me I’m wrong?   Kiawe:  [Nods in understanding, but his expression is clear. Is there a… point to all this?]

Ilima:  … [Can take a hint. Ahem] I thought today’s discussion was quite fruitful. Now that the G-Men have taken over the Phantom Thieves case, I’ll be appearing in public much more frequently as their spokesperson. You gave me a delightful taste of how to handle the tough questions I’ll likely be facing when dealing with the actual press. 

Kiawe:  I’ll look forward to hearing from you. We haven’t seen you in years. >.>;

Ilima:  [soft hum as he glances away] Yes, well… Life just gets in the way sometimes, doesn’t it? You’ve been through quite a lot since we last met. I had a few more questions I wanted to ask you privately.

Kiawe:  [Rolls his eyes. Why would it be anything else? Restrained] Is here really the place for an interrogation?

Ilima: [Holds up his hands to show he’s unarmed and meant no harm by it] Nothing of the sort! But something you said earlier had me wondering, and I thought… Well, just between you and me, you seemed quite passionate in your defense of these Thieves.

Kiawe:  My passions tend to get the best of me. That's not exactly news. [soft smile though it's only short lived] I’ll admit, I was pretty angry with their interference at first. And what happened with Elator… Well, it’s thrown everything in my life upside-down. 

Hau:  [Had returned when heard the familiar voice, as he wanted to catch Ilima as well if he could, before meeting the other two outside. Freezes when he realizes who he’s talking to. Tries to press himself into the alcove of the theater exits and listen in.]

Kiawe:  [Understatement of the year as he pauses to think how to word this] But I’ve had a few weeks to think it over, and I feel like they've actually given me control of my life back. Not just me, but the rest of my troupe as well. [casually shrugs] Consider me a fan.

Ilima:  [shakes head] All very noble, I'm sure. But I would like to remind you that idolizing such people can be dangerous too. When even they call themselves “thieves,” I'm sure they're aware that what they're doing is wrong. I would hate to think that someone who just escaped the hands of a great manipulator would fall prey so easily to another terrible influence.

Kiawe:  [Coldly, crossing a line there, buddy.] I'm not that weak. Or are you also implying I might be working for them? 

Ilima:  [Wide shrug, and feigns innocence] I only know what I have read in the reports, but the police seem to have their suspicions. As your friend, I was merely hoping for the truth. To have gotten so close to your teacher, your house, I think you would have seen them around at least. When it appears we’re dealing with a team of vigilantes, surely you would have noticed some strange activity leading up to the attack.

Kiawe:  If this were a normal attack, it would make sense that there would have been strangers lurking in our neighborhood, but even you said that their methods are a mystery. Almost supernatural. I may be the first suspect, but you should really ask yourself: why would I want to help them, when I had the most to lose?

Hau:  [sinks down a bit to be reminded of that]

Kiawe:  [What, no comeback? He can see the former Captain is at least thinking on it.] I know you only just started the case, but the police told me they found out Elator’s son was the one to make the request to the Phantom Thieves. I hadn't even heard of them before all this.

Ilima:  [Just smiles sweetly as he thought of one] Part of the great mystery, I suppose. Though it does seem logical that after years of abuse and threats. Seeing how your benefactor only wanted you for your talents, and became quite the monster in the lengths he would go to with you and other students; it’s possible that as you learned about his obsession, you wouldn't be the least bit tempted to get revenge?

Kiawe: [Has to admit, that’s pretty much what happened. Still, he’s not lying as his voice softens] Except I never saw myself as a victim. It felt wrong. I hated him sometimes, but I was convinced the only way to chase my own ambitions was to endure it long enough to eventually leave. If I had been smarter, or hadn't known him as long as I have, I would have realized sooner. But if I had seen him that way, and hypothetically, I somehow had that same power as the Phantom Thieves have to cause these changes, do you think I would have put up with it for so long?

Ilima:  [Shifts uncomfortably as the question seems to strike a nerve. His tone softens with an air of bitterness rather than sadness] I think it's very possible considering the consequences. As you said, you had everything to lose if you tried. 

Hau:  [Yeeeeaaaah, he’s got them pegged. Oh gosh. While it seems like Ilima’s tone also wants to reveal something, it’s time to bail. Slides through the door rather excitedly] Kiawe~! What happened to meeting us outside?

Kiawe:  [motions to Ilima] Obviously, I got a bit delayed. 

Ilima:  Alola, Champion Hau! I hadn't expected to meet you in a place like this.

Hau:  Are you kidding? You're like one of the biggest names in Melemele and helped me get my start. There's no way I wouldn't come see ya for your first visit back in over a year~! [looks between them] But uh… you guys just catching up or something? I didn't mean to butt in or anything.

Kiawe:  More like continuing our debate from earlier. |D;;

Hau:  Ah… Well no need to be so formal with me. The Champion thing is basically bragging rights right now while we’ve been settling into this whole world-league-ambassador… thing. I just got back from Kanto about a month ago it feels like. 

Ilima:  [Soft smile] It's still nice to hear such praise from someone as prestigious as you've grown to be. [Curious as he points between them] Though when did you two become such friends? 

Kiawe:  Just recently. After hearing about my situation, Hau offered me his place to stay. It’s a house so it’s spacious enough to go about our own activities, but it has been nice getting to know each other better since I moved in. 

Ilima: 

[Mildly impressed] It seems our first Champion is quite the charitable one. Must be nice. I'm sorry for keeping you though. I didn’t realize you two had plans.

Hau:  Just going to grab some malasadas. The show was fun, but I'm pretty starved. You wanna come with?

Kiawe:  [Quirks an eyebrow at him, wondering what he’s thinking]

Ilima:  I think I'll have to pass. I really should be going, but I simply had to stave my curiosity for the day. [Looks to Kiawe] I should be the one to apologize though. I’m only just starting in my new position and I may have come on a bit strong. I'll see you both around, won't I?

Hau:  Sure! See ya later then~ [waves him off]

Kiawe:  Hmph. “A bit strong”? [Crosses his arms in annoyance as he watches him disappear down the hall] He certainly changed his tune real quick once you showed up. 

Hau:  Yeah… I guess because I've got “prestige” now, he thinks he has to be nice to me. 

Kiawe:  [softly] Or to cover up what we'd been discussing when you came in. It's not like he has any reason to suspect you of thievery.

Hau:  [Still feels guilty about that] Sorry, I should have stepped in a lot sooner. 

Kiawe:   [Not mad, but pleasantly surprised by the little sneak. Almost amused to find out what he knew] You heard all that then? Then why did you invite him?

Hau:  [cheeky grin] To make you cringe. [more serious] Honestly, I wanted to be friendly while calling his bluff. If he came with us, we might have gotten to have a nice normal conversation to learn what he's been up to all this time. And if not, it at least gives the impression we're just goofing off somewhere. Being nice tends to make people less on edge around you. Besides, we're going to talk to Burnet about thieves stuff, he doesn’t need to be anywhere near there.

Kiawe:  ….That's surprisingly clever of you.

Hau: 

Hey, between your skills in dodging questions and Rotom’s palace lessons, I should hope I'm learning to cover my tracks. Come on. I'm sure Hiro is starting to wonder where we went.

A/N: And now for something different! A friend got me all happy to ramble on about this P5 / Alola region crossover I was obsessed with years ago, and it gave me the urge to pull up my old document for it. There's not a full story here, just a ton of scattered clips that reference a lot of scenes and events from P5 but obviously things are much different and more expanded on in how the crossover verse functions. Ahem.... This scene was too long for me to share with the Discord so I just needed to post it somewhere I could link. But uh, if there's any interest, I may post more from this universe because I'm forever surprised just how much we wrote for it.

This whole extensive mess came up from this silly exchange:

Haji: With Kiawe... well there's a few things. 1) He's still working on how to social cue. Yes, he understands some of the pressure Ilima went through better than others because he was in the same position and they were, albeit vaguely and only through said position, friends? 2) With the TV station thing, which I'll probably get into tomorrow given the time and the length of the scene, I kinda like the idea of the whole gang there (up to that point) going to check it out only instead of Hau being chosen (because I always joke "And of course we get chosen XD" because protag) it was actually with Kiawe. Since I'm sure being so shortly after the Teacher's Palace, Ilima being the little ass that he is here, probably spotted him in the audience and was like "Huh, and mind if I ask you a question then?" which naturally has the other four silently going "Oh fuck" but then of course it turns out to just be "So, hypothetically, if these thieves are real, do you think what they did was right?" Kiawe's a fairly confident individual, and especially since he's got no reason to view Ilima as any sort of authority figure (they're still on the same level in his mind, and Ilima's still like... the intern anyway, he's not even a real cop / detective yet) and it's like "Tch, yeah?" .... The group goes back, to internally screaming XD Kitty: PFFFFF XD Haji: I'm sure Keala is fighting back a face palm with the whole "They do more than the cops" option you can do in the game XD Kitty: "Oh fuck" is the only appropriate response XD Haji: Although let's be honest, no one else would have done well with that question

Someone got bit by a radioactive Galvantula oops 🕷️💛

Lavender Town was quite..unique if there was a word to describe it, still Kanto was a rather exotic place compared to his home of Kalos..however, it seemed that Trunks had of course gotten himself lost again within the little town. That’s when he discovered someone who stood out from the crowd much like himself, a kindred spirit (probably due to their matching hair colors). “Hey there sir, I’m lost and was hoping you could help me out here.”

send ❔ and i’ll list a couple muses that i’d like to throw at yours!

@padmahearts sent: "?" (Any of our muses/blogs, doesn't have to be just this blog. Probably a case of "which muse is gonna get isekai'd, and for what reason?")

HMPH. I tend to only use the 'isekai' route for writing as a last resort! One of my favorite things with musing and writing is taking the framework and blocks used for my muses (whether canon or oc) and then see how I can fit them into other worlds. So with that in mind, working with PMoon and Pokemon setups, we can consider a few things-

Wylan slots in for both of those, actually. Of my roster he has the longest and most developed/ready Pokemon verse. Once a Rocket agent, now a coordinator. A travelling performer in Shokiko? Perhaps Yuugetsu (or another muse) visits Unova or Sinnoh... Or you can flip to PM and deal with the most annoying color fixer/ corporate sellout ever. Totally not having his arm twisted into helping W Corp.

Mizuki is another great choice, actually. Even if I haven't written up either of those verses just yet going off my read of your muses and writing style I think her spunky nature would fit well. Self assured and girlboss energy lets go? A pokemon trainer/former Nest dweller with past abuse (haha). You know she has a Luxray. Just LOOK at her.

Last I'll throw out another OC, Amber. More of a PM lean here, and I'll confess she's here as an option because I want to develop her verse more given she'll be an NPC in a campaign I'm writing. Street gal with penchant for tinkering. Runs a workshop in the backstreets (not picky on District for sake of RP) largely focused on mode-changing.

Here's an oldie WIR-Verse idea I had!

Since Ericka's a later update character only really in half of her game, she has quite a not of free time during hours some days. Ericka often uses this to watch the others in-game, but sometimes she also game jumps, and she's sometimes in charge of babysitting her little Vampson when they're both off-screen.

This is one of those time, where Ericka and her Torracat, Kitty-Cat, occupies "Captain Blood" by sneaking into Sugar Rush with him during hours.

G.G. (Galvantula-Girl): What's the weirdest way you've ever gotten into a relationship?

Hobie, fiddling with his guitar: Tax evasion.

G.G. & Peter:....

Peter: I was gonna say I threw up in M.j.’s  backpack, but that sounds more interesting...

G.G.: Story, please?

Hobie: …No.
