Pokemon Au: Does Jaune remember Keldeo and the promise. Does remember the Kyurem dreams? Imagine if he got Ptsd from Weiss freezing a grimm because Kyurem has the same color eyes as the grimm.

"Mr. Arc?"

"Huh, what?"

"Class is over, Mr. Arc,"

"Oh, I-"

"Class has been over, Mr. Arc," the doctor said, sipping from his mug, "is there something on your mind?"

"Uh..." Jaune scratched his cheek. "Kind of? I was just thinking about the legend in today's lesson. Something about it just... stuck with me."

"You mean the story of the Swords of Justice of Unova?"

"Yeah." Jaune shut the book in front of him. "Something about the four of them seemed to... I dunno, put me in a funk."

"Four? The textbook only mentions three, Mr. Arc."

"Oh!" Jaune furrowed his brow.

"You might have mistaken them from a story from another region, one where there were indeed four mentioned."

"Why wasn't there four mentioned in this textbook?"

"Why, indeed?" He sipped from his coffee.

"...This is a homework assignment, isn't it?"

"Excellent idea, Mr. Arc! I'm glad you thought of it." With that, the doctor turned away and swiftly returned to his desk.

[a-tale-of-legends]

Yaknow what? Here's a funky question; how would you ocs be if they weren't chosen?

Not that they wouldn't be protags or have legends (unless that's what you want to do lol) but just like normal pokemon world

Ooooooooh that's a good one.

Jin - probably still goes through their arc growing up, though no longer has this chip on their shoulders when it comes to being Chosen. Don't get me wrong, their relationship to Rayquaza is still pretty complicated, but given that there's no true bind, it's kinda easier for them to simply ignore it.

Kohaku - she's definitely the one of the few that took being Chosen well, so her not being Chosen wouldn't really change her outlook on life really.

Kenji - On one end, being Chosen made him feel like he really had to exceed imaginary expectations, something he was already struggling with. So not being Chosen would kinda relieve him of some stress in that sense. On the other end, being Chosen kinda gave Kenji a comfort that not anyone could give him. Someone to talk to when he felt like he shouldn't with his friends. Without Ho-Oh having that bond of a Chosen and Legendary, things feel more hollow. Yes, Ho-Oh is still there and still tries to comfort Kenji, but it's not completely the same, you know?

Aiko - Hmmmm. Aiko is still someone I'm reworking a bit, so it's hard to say. Maybe she just. Doesn't get the courage to stick it to Silver. Heck, maybe Silver ends up being the one that goes after Lugia instead of her. Aiko's personality isn't based on Lugia of course, but not being the trainer with a "soul like silver" might come to play here. Though all of that is just a guess, I really need to figure Aiko out lol.

Danica - Her eeriness is almost always the same, but her childhood is much more lonely I think. I'm going with the idea of Danica not being Chosen = Giratina never coming to her as her "imaginary friend". Of course, she had Barry, but I imagine Danica is more distant than she already is in canon.

Kiran- Not a Chosen lol. I think his powers would stay the same bc Sakura isn't a Chosen either. Whoops!

Alexis- Woooooooooh boy. BW would still be the same I think. But there's no. Sense of someone looking down at Alexis all the time. Like something is calling to him and he just can't figure out what. His journey is still a nuzlocke. It still sucks. He still runs away with Zekrom. After he returns, Zekrom would.... honestly just leave him given the path he was going. The main reason Zekrom stayed when he was a Chosen was bc 1) they had faith that Alexis would snap out of his awful funk and take care of himself and 2) Alexis was their Chosen. And while legendaries can Choose and Unchoose as they please, they can't help but just want Alexis to be The One. Zekrom is very optimistic in my au, if not a bit naive. Though without Alexis being Chosen, I think Zekrom is more inclined to listen to Reshiram and just leave ( or at least go back into it's ball form). Which. It wouldn't do great got Alexis mentally I think. Not great at all.

Elliot - Another hard one. She was passed down the Chosen title by N in this au. So honestly it's the same thing but she just doesn't get Chosen.

Eva - Another odd case for a Chosen. Kyurem knew it couldn't really. Survive with some sj ort of protection. So it Chose Eva. If Eva was never Chosen, she wouldn't have such complicated feelings towards the cold. Well. That's a lie. What happened in Opelucid City scarred her, but not being the Chosen of Kyurem would not have her in such a panic at the time.

Wayne - Maaaaan, Wayne not being the Chosen of Keldeo kinda implies that he hadn't fully found himself. I still think he grew as a character, and still catches Keldeo, but. Yeah, it's not the same.

Jude - I was going to say Jude fucking dies, but that seems to extreme lol. Jude has been repressing her aura for years, and while Lucario and Sylveon are skilled enough to help him manage it in the early days, Yveltal's aura helps our a lot. There could be a chance Jude would die so to their aura being so much, but protag powers say they live lol.

Dante - another one where he could have died but again that's probably too much. Honestly I'm not completely sure! Outside of like, moral support, I dunno how life would be without being a Chosen for him.

Ames- Nothing really changes outside of having to wear a specialized suit if wanting to go through ultra space. That and just not being that much of a night anymore lol.

Ray - Same as above( minus the night owl stuff)

Naomi - Well. For one, I don't think her father would be dead. Possibly. The whole reason she's a Chosen is bc her father's Curse Chosen status fell to her when he died. Can't be Chosen otherwise if that didn't happen so. There's still a chance the man could have died when she was young still, but there is no longer anything fogging her memory and the faces of the past. Not saying she remembers everything clearly but the unnatural fogginess in her head? Gone. If her dad was still alive, I think those two factors would have made Naomi just a bit more confident in herself. Not a lot, but just a bit more.

Carol- Nothing much changes I think. They don't have to accidentally touch someone and release their soul, so that's cool I guess. Carol got Chosen pretty late so. Yeah.

Luca- Again not 100% sure if he is gonna be a Chosen, but uuuuuh. If he wasn't, I don't think the story would have changed much lol.

R.B - Not a Chosen lmao, I know that now. I personally find that hilarious, and just wanna say that if no one is Chosen, that means R.B loses her " I'm the only normal human being next to these fucking demi gods of people" status. Then she would be losers like the rest of them ( affectionate).

Sorry this took so long to answer I! Feel asleep. Thanks for the ask deer!

AU Backstory Time!

So the backstory for my au is based on real events in my many, MANY years of playing pokemon. Other than in gen 1 where I I fed infinite Missingno Rare Candies to my pokemon(yes I’m that old, shut up) I’ve always had an aversion to using legendaries in my main team to beat the story. Usually, you never get them anyway until very late, and by that point I’ve already got a full team that I’m very attached to. This started to change somewhat in gen 4 with the events I’ll list out below:

(howdobulletpoints?)

- In HGSS I received the Event Arceus as one of the first event distributions I was actually able to get

- Even though you could catch Giratina in D/P, Platinum was not out yet so I decided to pick Giratina when Arceus asked you which of the trio you wanted to create

- Was very surprised that Giratina was legit LEVEL 1 instead of like lvl 70 or something

-Thought about how cool it would be to raise a legendary from lvl 1 and use it in a playthrough, but I had already beaten my HG file at that point and had no way of trading away my pokemon so I could start a new file

- Should mention I get VERY attached to my pokes and will transfer my teams and favorites up through every game I can

-Giratina gets boxed at lvl 1 for future games/playthrough

- SoonTM

- I buy Pokemon Platinum, Black and later Pokemon White 2(I wanted both Reshiram games for some reason) and continue to collect event pokemon

- Keldeo event releases after I’ve already beaten W2 once, and at that point I’m able to trade my pokes between games/transfer then up from old games.

- Why not do a legendary playthrough? Start a file, get Keldeo, and finally train my baby Giratina and a few other low level event legendaries

- Start game and get Keldeo, Giratina, Jirachi, and I think Mew and/or Victini? as fast as I can right after the first gym

- I love making up narratives in my head when playing, so at the Pledge Grove where Keldeo gains it’s Resolute Form I pledge that this will be the most Legendary Adventure EverTM

- Life and or college happens

- I barely play the file from that point on. Can’t remember if I ever beat the second gym or not

- Pokemon X and Y come out and I buy Y

- Why play an old game I already beat once again with overpowered legendaries when there is the New Hotness?

- Kalo is so unbalanced I legit raised 3 full teams of pokemon concurrently. I called them the Royal Kalosian Army

- Eventually transferred over old pokemon to Y, effectively killing off the whole Legendary AdventureTM idea for good

- Maybe I’ll do it for real at another point?

- Tragedy

- My 3DS with Pokemon Y and every single pokemon I had collected over the years up until that point gets stolen right as I’m getting ready to go home for Winter break. Never find the culprit

- I legit get SUPER depressed about this, so much so that I don’t even buy ORAS like I planned to until a few months before Sun and Moon come out

- It’s just not the sameTM

- Play Moon, Ultra Sun, and later Shield, with my love of pokemon slowly being restored

- Buy and play Legends Arceus before BDSP remakes because Sinnoh is actually my least favorite region and I’d rather see the new spin on it first

- Beat game, battle Volo, Giratina comes in pissed

- Oh hi mom, prepare for death. You broke your promise so I’ll break your face -Giratina probably

- My face when this headcanon sets up shop to live rent free in my head

- My face when I want to punch Volo in the face for calling my son a coward when I beat him

- My life when I now want to find a White 2 Rom and hack in Giratina and maybe Keldeo as my starters

- No, using the lvl 65+ Giratinas you can only get in post game areas won’t make this right.

- I must attack and dethrone god(gamefreak) and use roms to turn back time and set things right

- Not waiting 10 years for them to remake the second part of the gen 5 games when I just know they will only remake the original B/W and maybe do a Legends game with the full Kyurem given their track record

- I’m rambling at this point, so kudos to anyone who read all of this to understand my current brainrot

[sage-nebula]

So since you're taking fandom asks uhhhh do you have any more thoughts/ideas about your pokemon fantasy au? Specifically about Alan? I just love him and that au a lot<3

Just so you know, I am always taking fandom asks. I might not answer them right away because I haven’t spent as much time on tumblr ever since I got my new job last year (because tumblr is blocked there for being a “video sharing site,” hilarious though that is), but I love talking about fandoms and am always down to take questions about them.

That said, I sure do!

I don’t know how much of this I’ve shared here before, and if I repeat anything you already know then my bad, but what I have so far is:

— Alan hails from the Kingdom of Kalos, and is one of the Keepers of the Spirit of a Mythical Pokémon — in his case, Keldeo.

— And on that note, before we proceed further, that is a change I made. I originally had him as the Keeper of Victini, but I decided to change it to Keldeo because even though Victini is my favorite mythical and fire-type suits him more than water-type, Keldeo fits Alan to a T. Orphaned at a young age but happily adopted, determination to become stronger, so determined it has a resolute form, and Alan’s leitmotif in The Strongest Mega Evolution / XY&Z is actually sampled from Keldeo’s theme from its movie, “The Legend of the Sacred Swordsman”. Everything fits. So in conclusion, the boy is the Keeper of Keldeo, I don’t make the rules. I mean, I do, but my hands are pretty tied on this one. Moving on . . . 

— Soon after his birth, one of King Lysandre’s mages, Xerosic, identified infant Alan as the Keeper of Keldeo. Highly motivated to bring as many Keepers into his service as he could (and raising one from infancy to be loyal to him was the best situation he could ask for), Lysandre sent his knights along with Xerosic to obtain the child and bring him back. Lysandre’s knights did find baby Alan and his parents living in a remote town, but unlike in canon, Alan’s parents were not willing to hand their baby over to the king and a fight broke out. Alan’s mother’s family’s guards fought against the knights, and ultimately, were unsuccessful. Many of the guards and pretty much all of Alan’s family, his parents included, were slain. But somehow, Alan himself was lost in the battle. Lysandre’s knights searched through all corpses and burnt wreckage, but they couldn’t find the infant anywhere. Assuming him to have died and his body too mangled to identify, they reluctantly returned to the castle to deliver the news.

— In reality, what actually happened is that Alan’s mother, knowing that the battle was going to be lost and not wanting her son raised by the king, did what any panicked and terrified mother would do and put her son in a sling around the neck and shoulders of one of the family’s Charizard and sent the dragon away with baby Alan and the Charizard’s own baby Charmander (who, incidentally, hatched from his egg the very same day Alan was born). The Charizard was offended — she felt she should get to stay and fight — but ultimately the safety of the babies won out (particularly since, like any other pokémon, the Charizard could sense the Spirit of Keldeo within baby Alan and knew that he was someone to be protected) and so she took off with both human infant and Charizard baby in tow.

— And so, for the next few years, Alan was raised by a Charizard in the mountains, an absolute feral child. He didn’t know how to speak human language, nor did he know how to speak Charmander / Charizard (he made growls and similar sounds, but that’s not the same as language), though he could communicate with them well enough. Mama Charizard made sure that Alan stayed fed, fed him curing berries when he got sick (which didn’t work as well as they did for pokémon, but she tried), and he grew up with her baby as his brother. The two often wrestled and play-sparred, which resulted in quite a few injuries for Alan at first as the Charmander didn’t quite realize that Alan’s human skin wasn’t as tough as a fellow Charmander’s scales, but the two bonded exceedingly quickly and would remain inseparable for the rest of their lives.

— However, as mentioned, this only lasted for a few years. Neither King Lysandre nor Xerosic truly believed that Alan had perished in that battle, and so Xerosic had continued scrying for him ever since while Lysandre sent out search parties to the mountains. Every time they got near, Mama Charizard took both her babies and flew to another remote location, deeper and deeper into the mountains. It was deep in a cavernous ravine that tragedy struck; an earthquake triggered by Lysandre’s knights battling wild Tyranitar caused a rockslide, and though Mama Charizard managed to get her sons out of the way, she didn’t manage to escape herself. Boulders too heavy for her to move and at too awkward a position for her to melt pinned her to the ground. Her wings were crushed; she wouldn’t be able to properly defend her babies if danger came.

— Fortunately, danger did not come, but help did. A powerful sage named Olympia foresaw this tragedy, and though she knew that she couldn’t do anything to interfere with it happening because that would put the future too far off course, she could prevent it from getting any worse. She arrived soon after the tragedy struck, and though Mama Charizard was at first very defensive against her (believing her to be one of the humans out to hurt her human son), Olympia was able to convince her that she was there to help. Olympia’s psychic pokémon moved the boulders pinning Mama Charizard, freeing her so that she could move again . . . but only in limited capacity, given the breaks and tears in her wings. It was then that Olympia told Mama Charizard that she could take her and her babies to someone who would keep all three of them safe. Still wary, but with no other options, Mama Charizard relented. 

— It was a long journey, given that Mama Charizard could not fly and would not consent to a pokéball, but eventually Olympia moved all three safely to a quiet village — and, more specifically, to the home of an alchemist named Augustine Sycamore. Sycamore was, of course, pretty shocked to see Olympia show up with a severely wounded Charizard, a toddler Charmander, and a feral human toddler in tow, but after Olympia explained the situation (Mama Charizard was too injured to survive in the wild anymore, the toddlers wouldn’t survive on their own either, the human boy should probably become civilized and was also the Keeper of Keldeo and needed to be protected by a trustworthy guardian), Sycamore agreed to take them all in.

— As an alchemist rather than a monster trainer, Sycamore didn’t exactly have the qualifications to care for injured dragons. Despite this, he had a very spacious plot of land that he had inherited from his family, and as such Mama Charizard had more than enough room to recover, even if she would never be able to leave again due to her injured wings. Additionally, Sycamore made sure she knew that he wasn’t intending to take her babies from her, although in the eyes of the law he was adopting the human boy, but that didn’t mean he would prevent Mama Charizard from being part of his life. (Also, Mama Charizard could not fly, but she could still melt boulders, so Sycamore wasn’t going to push his luck on that one.)

— That said, if he was going to be adopted by a human parent, the feral child did need a name, and calling him “Keeper of Keldeo” would do the exact opposite of what Olympia said needed to be done to ensure his secrecy and safety. As such, Sycamore named him “Alan”, and set about teaching him how to do things like read, write, speak, and otherwise live in human society.

— When it came to being civilized, three-year-old Alan did not go quietly into the good night.

— For starters, he hated clothing. He’d never worn clothing before in his memory before Olympia found him and yanked things over his legs and tugged something over his head, and he’d been just fine. He didn’t understand why Olympia or Sycamore wanted to put him in clothes all the time and thus took them off at every opportunity. He also pitched a fit every single night he had to sleep indoors in a bed versus outside with his mother and brother. Eventually a compromise was made that both Alan and the Charmander would sleep indoors in the bed, but even then, Sycamore woke up no few mornings to find them both outside with Mama Charizard again. (And Mama Charizard was of no help in this department; if nothing else, she looked Smug when Sycamore saw the boys curled up against her chest beneath her wing.) Additionally, for the longest time Sycamore thought he was making no progress teaching Alan human language; he went over books with him every single day, but still Alan wouldn’t say a single word to him, with his only vocalizations being growls instead. It wasn’t until a full six months had passed before Alan looked at Sycamore one day and said, “Why don’t you call my brother anything?”

Sycamore stared at him for a long moment before he sputtered, “You can talk?”

“Yes.” Alan’s glare was unwavering. “Why doesn’t my brother have a name?”

Sycamore didn’t know whether to be elated the lessons had worked, bewildered why it took Alan so long to show that the lessons had worked, or a bit defensive at being so suddenly interrogated.

— Eventually, Sycamore told Alan that he and the Charmander should work out a name for said Charmander together, along with Mama Charizard’s input perhaps, and the name the two eventually came back with was Lizardon.

— Although Alan put up a stubborn fight pretty much every step of the way, by the time he was five he’d mostly acclimated to living like a human, and by the time he was six he took an active interest in Sycamore’s alchemic studies. By age seven he was helping with some of the experiments, and by age nine he considered himself Sycamore’s apprentice and hoped to one day become an alchemist himself. In other words, though it took time, the two bonded and came to love each other as father and son, and Alan came to be quite embarrassed about all the times he bit Sycamore when they first met. (It was quite a bit. He really didn’t like that whole “wearing clothes” thing.)

— As for Mama Charizard, she too gradually warmed up to letting Sycamore co-parent the boys. She also came to fall in love with Sycamore’s Garchomp, Gabrielle, so soon Alan and Lizardon basically had two moms and a dad. All in all, things were going quite well for them.

— And then, as it always does . . . misfortune, steered by destiny, came knocking.

— All these years, Xerosic never stopped searching for the Keeper of Keldeo, and by the time Alan was 13, Xerosic finally found him. This time, Lysandre took a more measured approach to things; at age 13, Alan would not be as malleable as he would have been had Lysandre been able to take him as an infant. If Lysandre had his soldiers abduct Alan now, no doubt he would put up a fight, and the Spirit of Keldeo was one of Determination. If the Keeper wanted to leave, he would leave. Lysandre had to find a way to make him want to stay. As such, he decided to stage a danger that would convince Alan that he needed to join Lysandre’s knights. Once he did that, everything would fall into place.

— So Lysandre sent his spies, led by Malva, to gather recon. They returned with intel that Alan was being raised by an alchemist and aspired to become one himself. They reported that he seemed very attached to his family and his home, and that it would be unlikely that he’d want to leave . . . but that there was a high probability he’d want to protect his family and his home. As a result, Lysandre staged things in three parts:

1.) He and his knights visited the village so that they could “check in” to see if there was anything they could do to enrich the lives of the people there. When Lysandre spotted Alan in the crowd, he made particular note to introduce himself to the boy, and make a comment about how perhaps Alan would like to join the knights one day, to help protect the kingdom. With Sycamore’s hand on his shoulder, Alan replied that he wanted to be an alchemist. Lysandre smiled and said, “Well, you never know what the future will hold.”

2.) A few days after that, he staged a disaster; I don’t have a clear idea in mind for what the disaster was at the moment, but it was something that put Sycamore, Mama Charizard, Gabrielle, and others in danger. Alan and Lizardon did their best to defend but they didn’t have training to do very much. I think Lysandre probably staged this so that it looked like an attack from one of the neighboring nations (perhaps the Kingdom of Galar) to make it extra clear why it would be wise for Alan to join the knights to protect his family and his home.

3.) A few days after that, Lysandre and the knights visited again to help the village recover from the attack. He also, while there, once again suggested that Alan could learn to defend against attacks like these if he joined the knights.

— And that was all it took. Alan didn’t want to leave home, but he also couldn’t stand the thought of anything terrible happening to his family. So he asked Sycamore if he could join the knights—pleaded, even. Sycamore didn’t want to say yes for multiple reasons, the warning Olympia had given him about Alan being a Keeper and thus needing to be kept away from those who might use him in mind—but he could also tell by the fire in Alan’s eyes that he was not really going to take “no” for an answer, and so he relented on the condition that Alan write weekly letters. Alan agreed without hesitation. Mama Charizard, meanwhile, had no use for letters, but she agreed only so long as Lizardon went with Alan, because she believed them stronger together. Of course, neither Alan nor Lizardon had a problem with this, and as such they both left with Lysandre that afternoon. Just as planned.

— Things changed for both of them pretty quickly once they got back to the castle. For one, Lysandre forced Alan and Lizardon to begin using a pokéball, as was kingdom law. For another, while Alan was technically a squire like any other beginning knight, he was also much younger than the rest and thus would receive personal lessons from Lysandre himself in order to get him where he needed to be in terms of strength and training. Alan had no qualms about this, of course; he wanted to get as strong as he could as fast as he could.

— The first bit of training they went through was Alan testing out different weapons to see which one he was best suited to using. In honesty, he had aptitude for multiple; his sharp eyesight made him proficient with a bow, and he wasn’t half bad with a sword and shield. Ultimately he chose to specialize in polearm, though he would still practice with sword and bow semi-regularly in the years to follow.

— Other forms of training included Alan sparring with Lysandre himself (which especially in the early years consisted mostly of Lysandre kicking Alan around the training grounds), and melee matches with other knights and their pokémon. It was in one of these matches that Alan was seriously injured; Lizardon, a Charmeleon now, let out a startled cry as one of the knights hit him with the blunt end of an axe and knocked him to the ground. Distracted, Alan rushed to Lizardon’s aid, only to be hit by Lysandre’s Pyroar from his blind spot. Pyroar’s claws raked down the side of Alan’s face, blood everywhere, and the training session was halted. Lysandre scolded Alan, telling him this was what happened when he got distracted in battle, before he sent him off to the infirmary for treatment. The wounds healed, but scars remained down his cheek from then on.

— For what it’s worth, Alan did write weekly letters back home. But after a year of never receiving a response he stopped, figuring that Sycamore must be too upset with him for leaving in the first place to want to write back. In truth, Sycamore never received those letters. Lysandre ensured that they were never sent.

— Ultimately, harsh and cruel though it was, the training paid off. By the time he was fifteen Alan could best most of the other knights in combat, including the generals, earning him the rank of General himself (as well as Lysandre’s top General, though that was due to his nature as a Keeper in all honesty; Lysandre wanted to keep him on a short leash). This, naturally, made him very unpopular with the other knights, who felt he was an upstart who didn’t deserve such a high rank, but Alan didn’t join the knights to make friends and so he mostly ignored their scorn.

— While he had standard armor at first, Lysandre’s training fast-tracked Lizardon’s evolution, as well as his and Alan’s ability to Mega Evolve. Charizard scales shed naturally, and by the time Alan was 17 enough scales were collected from Charizard’s mega evolved form that they were able to forge custom armor from them. This armor, naturally, was fireproof, and his ability to withstand flames—along with the Spirit of Keldeo giving him unnatural determination that allows him to keep fighting even after sustaining what should be life-threatening injuries, that fire inside him only burning out once the battle is through—earned him a fearsome reputation. Being sighted standing engulfed in flames, his refusal to go down . . . both of these earned him a reputation as a “demon knight.”

— Once Lizardon evolved into Charizard, he became Alan’s sole sparring partner. Unlike the play wrestling of their youth, Alan and Lizardon’s sparring was much more skilled now, with Alan using his polearm and Lizardon deftly avoiding strikes while trying to pin Alan to the ground. So far, Lizardon has ultimately won every spar, successfully pinning Alan to the ground and drenching his face with kisses. These moments are pretty much the only time Alan really laughs after joining the knights.

— At the time the story kicks off, Alan is Lysandre’s top general and he does not know that he is the Keeper of Keldeo. He is also completely unaware of Lysandre’s sinister machinations and aims. Sycamore is incredibly worried about him and has been ever since he went to the castle never to be heard from again, and has been making contacts across the kingdom to get as much information as he can. (He has tried to seek out Olympia for her console, but her whereabouts are unknown.) Lastly, Alan ends up saving a young aspiring bard named Manon when she’s attacked by brigands, and she immediately attaches herself to him, deciding that he is the perfect inspiration for her ballads and stories, no matter how many times Alan stresses to her that he is King Lysandre’s top general and he goes into battle a lot and she will get hurt and die if she continues to follow him. 

“If you’re a general, then where’s your platoon?” 

“I don’t have one.”

“Then how’re you a general?”

“It’s just a title. A rank. I’m different from the others.”

“And that’s why you’ll be great epic poem material!”

“[long suffering sigh]”

Eventually, Alan will learn the truth about the king’s intentions, but whether he learns the truth in time or not . . . that remains to be seen.

I randomly feel like posting what Pokemon I could see Aichi with in a Pokemon crossover/AU

OK, so some of these might seem a bit strange, but I’ll get into my reasons as I go along. Note that I’m going with fully evolved forms, but naturally this also applies to their earlier forms as well. This is in no particular order:

1. Aegislash: Naturally the sword is supposed to resemble the Blaster Blade that Ahmes wields. Also, I totally imagine the sword being possessed by a spirit that’s basically just Blaster Blade’s entire personality without actually being Blaster Blade. It would be Aichi’s starter, and watch over him and support him.

2. Gallade: Essentially a knight, fighting for justice and having good empathetic abilities. I also like the idea of Aichi having at least one Psychic type because of his PSY Qualia. Mega is a possibility, but I’m not sure.

3. Lycanroc (Dusk): Puppy! Aichi has always seemed to have a fondness for dogs, if you go with his dog mug and how many dogs/wolves he has in his decks. There’s also the fact that it’s implied that your bond with Lycanroc is very important in making sure they don’t go nuts (At least with Midnight Lycanroc). However, you may be wondering why I chose Dusk specifically instead of, say, Midday. Well, Dusk represents the harmony he attained in balancing his light and dark sides back at the end of Season 1 of the original series.

4. Escavalier: More knight imagery!

5. Espeon/Sylveon: I’m actually not sure which I see him using... Both feel like they’d be good for him because they both require friendship and bonds.

6. Mimikyu: Despite how scary it’s supposed to be, I can totally see him empathizing with its loneliness and actually offering unconditional friendship.

7. Delphox: More foxes, matches mages and such like Marron.

8. Absol: LOOK AT ITS HAIR SCYTHE. It’s Aichi as a Pokemon! But in reality, Aichi would probably feel bad for it being blamed for disasters, and would support and care about it even if no one else believes it.

9. Decidueye: I can imagine Aichi having it between his couple of owl-like cards and the fact that he has used some bow and arrow-wielding cards before.

10. Lucario: I can imagine him having it between the whole “dog” thing I mentioned before, and how it can feel auras and be rather in-tune with people.

11. Bisharp: More sword-theming. It’s also something of a leader, although it’s more of a “gang” leader rather than the type of leader Aichi is. It also symbolizes his time using Blaster Dark.

12. Togekiss: It symbolizes his happiness Vanguard brought him, and how it spreads it with others.

13. Jellicent: I’m not entirely sure about this one, but the kingly design of the male one is something I could imagine matching Aichi’s aesthetic. He really seems to be closely associated with knights, mages, royalty, and such in Royal Paladin.

14. Wooloo: Aichi is sheepish, and I’m sure he’d empathize with it.

15. Corviknight: Not entirely sure if Aichi would use it, but it has “knight” in the name, so I’ll shove it here just in case (Although I could TOTALLY see Ren with it).

Now, as for Legendaries I could see him being most fond of/connecting with (Not going to say all of them, just the ones I feel he’d have the greatest connection with [Since if I were to list all of the ones he felt a lot of sympathy for, I’d also be listing like Mewtwo or something, and it’d be too long of a list):

He’d be closest to Azelf out of the Lake Trio (Willpower).

He’d like all three of the Swords of Justice (Also Keldeo), and I’m not sure which he likes the most. I’ll say more about Keldeo under the “Mythical Pokemon” section.

I can see him with Xerneas, although some fanart I’ve seen of Season 4 Aichi with Yveltal also makes me feel like he’d have a connection with it as well.

I... am not sure about the Light Trio. I feel like there may be a small chance Solgaleo might speak to him, but I’m not sure.

And he would DEFINITELY have that link with Zacian and Zamazenta. I think he’d be more inclined towards Zacian (WINGAL), but he’d also be very closely in sync with Zamazenta because both of the legends are knightly.

Time for the Mythical Pokemon! Same idea as the Legendaries section!:

I could see Jirachi being one he is associated with because of his own wishes and dreams being granted through Vanguard. Oh, and he’s also a heavy-sleeper. :P

Arceus might mirror the idea of Harmonics Messiah supporting Aichi (However, it’d go to Ibuki after that).

I’m... not sure about Victini. It could be the AU thing he gets obsessed with instead of PSY Qualia since it supposedly always grants victory, and he values victory a lot. After he snaps out of it though, he stops using it like that, instead just having it as a friend. Of course, I wouldn’t write him actually having any Legendaries or Mythicals if I were to ever do something with any of this to begin with.

Keldeo is the big one he’d feel a connection with, I believe. I feel like their stories match up very well, Aichi would completely empathize with it being the weakest of the Swords of Justice, how it was once alone before being adopted by them,  and how it tries its hardest to grow stronger while also doing its best to the right thing and fight for justice.

I’m... not sure about Marshadow. It seems shy which I can sort of imagine Aichi getting along with, but at the same time it’s not his aesthetic. Although the idea of “copying” makes me wonder if it could be another PSY Qualia reference. I’m not entirely sure about this one though.

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

Anyway... These are the Pokemon I could see Aichi most interested in, wanting to use, befriending, empathizing with, etc. These are not necessarily all of them, and they are up for debate and reconsideration.

There’s also the fact that Sword and Shield (Along with any other future Pokemon games) could add more Pokemon for him to use.

List-O-Muses

Muse I’ve Had since Before Tumblr

Lexara (OC)- Originally a special agent of some kind, I made her around about 2005, when I first started to read Manga and started drawing characters.

Leon/Squall (Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy VIII)- This blog still exists for the nostalgia. I don’t rp on it, but this was my gateway to RP in 2011 on this sight.

Xurik (Kingdom Hearts)- Based off of a story I wrote for FANFICTION.NET (so ages ago) And never put up... I also have to heavily edit it, my vocabulary had found out about words such as ‘damn’, ‘shit’, and ‘fuck’ and I thought it was cool to use it a lot.

Riboruba (Final Fantasy VIII and Kingdom Hearts)- She is the personification of Squall’s/Leon’s Gunblade! Fun Fact: Riboruba is the Japanese pronunciation of Revolver, to which that is the style of Gunblade Squall has.

Category 6- Main Characters that are heavily AU-d

AU Abridged Yami Bakura (YGOTAS and Kingdom Hearts)- Yes... a parody character, which is it’s on AU in a way, in an AU where he is a keyblade wielder................................ tada! I made this with my good friend millennium-hearts at a con, and because of this blog we are practically family. URL- http://thiefxkeybladerxbakura.tumblr.com/ Possible AUTOPLAY WARNING

AU Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy VII)- He is basically Sephiroth, but winning, the world is pretty much dying/almost dead, so like.... Worst Case Scenario/Apocalypse AU

AU Nylocke (TOME) I’m putting this here because this is the Nylocke that is apart of the Omega Timeline. Where Nylocke had a twin brother (Nye is Colin-based on tta Nai’s name, and Martin- because Martin Billaney), who died. He is also the world’s best hacker, even better than the main villain of the blog, which was revealed once, but never by name. URL with Omega.

Hao Asakura- This was semi-based on the manga and the anime mixing. the story the blog was based off of is actually still on Fanfiction.Net i named Angel of the Devil (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6203556/1/Angel-of-the-Devil) Feel free to read it! There are 9 chapters!

Glitchy Red (Pokemon Creepy Pasta)- He was based off of many different piecemeal creepy pastas (Lost Silver, Pokemon Black, Strangled Red, Glitchy Red, small stories about the candle instead of flash, but used in a house it would burn it down, and the rope inside would make you hang yourself). This blog got me into KORN.

Category 7- Muses on Blogs that belong there, but are not the main reason people went to said blog

Xirra (TTA)- She is a re-purposed character with a whole new look to fit into TOME, and I used her on Remorse for Mistakes

Darkeyes (TTA)- Much Like Xirra, but never got onto the blog much.

Demon Eyes Kyo (Demon Eyes Kyo)- I read this manga in the 6th grade... it is fucking bloody and gory, so don’t look it up if you are weak stomached. I used him as the Guardian Spirit of Hao on his blog instead of the Fire Spirit.

Beelzemon (Digimon)- I had him on a blog I have yet to mention, but you’ll see why I haven’t yet, that blog is in a category all of its own~

Keldeo (Pokemon) He made a brief appearance on Kirb/Zetto blog... Chris named him Vic........ because voiced by Vic......

Muses I’d love to make, but I finally have self control so I won’t make them

Infinite (Sonic Forces)- Because he is my super floof boy and I must PROTECC

Qrow Branwen (RWBY)- I must protecc the birb boi too

THE LUKA-POCALYPSE I have had a lot of Luka’s in my time RPing, and I loved the name so much, I use it as my online pseudonym now... now you will learn where I get it from!

Luka Crosszeria (Uraboku)- This was the man I fell for, he is extremely loyal and protective of the one he loves through every reincarnation they have, and will do anything, even betray his own kind for love. So in a way, I can relate. I want to do the same with my friends and family and girlfriend. This is the blog Beelzemon is on.  URL- http://crosszeriaxbetrayer-blog.tumblr.com/ AUTOPLAY WARNING

Luka Crosszeria (Final Fantasy XIV)- She is my character from my favorite and most played MMO. And while she no longer has a blog, she does have an instagram! URL- https://www.instagram.com/luka_of_eorzea/

Luka Cross (OC- No other affiliation)- She is a girl with the power to summon elementals. From fire and ice spirits, to even the goddess of the moon. Her goal is to gain the power of Elder Summoning. Aldo Omega is in this AU as the guardian of the Library of Summoners, and he is an Elder Summon.

Luka (TOME)- She is the little sister of Xirra. A different kind of virus, hers is a contact epidemic virus that spreads through touch. She has her hands covered at all times, and is very shy, but is almost second to none in hand to hand combat, being at least 30 time stronger than her just 4 foot stature would lead you to believe. she is also a lolita that wears extremely tall boots, and yet she is still very short... like just under 5 foot short. She also dates a giant dragon... and she sounds like Hinata from Naruto... she is an actual baby that is months old

Percival (Pidgeot)

Bedivere (Bewear)

Lancelot (Keldeo)

My List on Legendaries & Mythicals’ Gender Preference

Here comes the list as mentioned before

I realize most of them are genderless...but apparently overseas they teach you in health class that sex and gender are two different words (which enlightened me somehow - word definitions are a charm) so I’m thinking that even though legendaries can’t produce offspring (except for Manaphy and Shaymin I remember) they still can be identified as he or she or it, right? It just depends on how the person perceives...

Or maybe this is a me thing. I hope I don’t offend anyone (been seeing pronouns on many people’s blog intros and I have no clue what they are or what they mean, if someone could please explain I would be delighted; I’m not very in tune with foreign culture or even my own culture ugh *the anxiety!!*)

The Lati@s and Heatran is not included in this since they already have genders.

——————————

The He-Legends:

Zapdos • Moltres • Mewtwo • Raikou • Entei • Suicune • Lugia • Kyogre • Groudon • Rayquaza • Deoxys • Dialga • Palkia • Giratina • Darkrai • Arceus • Victini • Cobalion • Terrakion • Virizion • Tornadus • Thundurus • Zekrom • Landorus • Kyurem • Keldeo • Genesect • Xerneas • Yveltal • Zygarde • Hoopa • Volcanion • Solgaleo • Necrozma • Marshadow

The She-Legends:

Articuno • Mew (?) • Celebi • Jirachi • Uxie • Mesprit • Azelf • Cresselia • Phione • Manaphy • Shaymin • Reshiram • Meloetta • Diancie • Lunala • Magearna

The ones I don’t really have a clue about:

Mew • Ho-Oh • Regirock • Regice • Registeel • Regigigas • Cosmog • Cosmoem

——————————

Most of it is strangely based on childhood nostalgia. I thought I’d note my own preferences since I’ll be very likely to use pronouns in posts or writings and also because in my head that’s kinda what the gender of them are. 

*not referring to gijinkas* *I don’t do gijinka headcanons because I’m overly obsessed with the pokemon designs themselves so everything pokemon stays pokemon unless possession au related* *I should add this into my about page*

I don’t mind the “it”s but occasionally if someone comes up and uses, let’s say “she” for Kyogre, I do cringe a little at that. I’ll try to understand though.

[jade-nargacuga]

Just rewatched the Keldeo Pokemon movie last night, and it’s got me wanting to find a rom of White 2 to play. Given GameFreak’s track record of only doing a remake of the first pair of games in a generation(and the third as a remake of the remake with Let’s Go Pikachu//Eevee), I think it’s safe to say we won’t see part 2 of the Gen 5 games for a looooooooooooooong time, unless they want to remake two separate games at once with different stories and characters, or make an original part 3. As much as I’d love to see a Legends game set in Unova, I think it would be criminal to tell only half of the original story and leave all of the Kyurem fusion shenanigans to a prequel game while pretending B2W2 don’t exist. 

B2W1 also holds a special place in my heart since it has something to do with the backstory of my Giratina Wayward Son Au. I might post a full outline of the backstory/real life events for the AU later today, just so I have the background stuff fleshed out and in order.
