Commissioned Art

I was honored to draw for one of the amazingly talented Youtube AMV artists; "DiceyShipping"! She and some of her friends really adore a crack-pair between Richie & Melody. Now that I drew it out, it turned out really cute! (One drawing is flat background the other is a transparent background) If you like what you see here and would love to see a pairing or even just your favorite character in my style, contact me via email @ reedh84@hotmail.com. I'll email you back my commission prices and we can go from there!

@hoshi-neko-hikari continued from here “What a meanie!” Hikari grumbled at the collector

"Yes. But that collector will not disturb us anymore. He is long gone." Lugia said.

"Hello there, little one." Greeted a talking Slowking as he approached Hikari. "Do not be alarmed. I am Slowking, the Royal Pokemon." (@muses-of-the-memory)

“Ooooh! hi, mistew Swowking! You gots a pwetty cwown!”

Just like the three Legendaries birds, Lugia is bound to an Orb. In the hidden, underwater part of Shamouti’s Shrine, Crys will find it again after it was dormant for centuries. The Orb resonates with hers and Lugia’s Inner Song~

(Inspired by a visual from the Pokémon Worlds video)

As I prepare to post the second chapter of God in the Midst, I realize I don't talk about it a lot or at all on here. I am working on it — it is coming along, and the adventures in the Orange Islands have only begun.

To begin the long journey, I first want to share a document. A proud accomplishment for this fanfic is that I have created a language — the Shamoutian Language.

Since this will be playing a very integral part to the story from the beginning, I will still be adding notes to the final notes of each chapter. Buuuut, this gives you slightly more lore than you would get otherwise right away — and there are plenty of easter eggs in here for you to find. Enjoy.

Misty was mad at him for some reason.

Not that it was unusual, Misty was mad at him more often than not, but try as Ash might, he couldn’t put his finger on what he could have possibly done lately to make her so mad.

He, Tracy, and Misty were taking it easy in wake of the whole Lugia situation, riding Lapras to a quiet and peaceful beach on an island a ways away from Shamouti to recoup before starting off again to get his Orange League badges. They had hardly spoken during the ride there, or in the few hours since they arrived, so Ash had no clue what he had done to deserve the cold shoulder from her, but he was going to find out.

He saved the world, after all. Talking to Misty had to be easier than that.

“Why are you so mad at me?” he asked her bluntly, standing stubbornly between her and the water, which she had been spacing off and staring at for the last ten minutes. She glared at him in response.

“I’m not mad at you,” she grumbled.

“Why are you lying?”

“I’m not lying.”

“Usually you can’t shut up about how much I annoy you, why are you hiding this one?�� he countered, and felt a very short, stunted surge of victory when Misty’s eye began twitching. He was wearing her down.

“Just. Drop. It,” she bit out, but Ash ignored her and continued.

“What? Did I eat your bagel or something? Step on your foot? Maybe I—”

Misty let out a stifled shriek in annoyance and shot to her feet, glaring at him with an intensity he hadn’t seen from her in quite a while. “You want to know why I’m upset?!” she demanded. “I’m upset because I saw you and Lugia get attacked. I saw you fall into the ocean. I saw your unconscious body floating in the water, and I pulled you back to shore, not knowing if you were going to wake up. Sure, it all worked out in the end and you saved the day, but for a few, terrifying minutes, I had no idea if you were okay, and every time I look at you, I see you half drowned, floating in the water, and it makes me physically sick.”

She took a deep breath, and Ash’s heart hurt when he realized she was holding back tears. “Mist… I didn’t realize—” he started, but she held up a hand, cutting him short.

“Don’t you dare apologize to me, Ash Ketchum,” she scolded. “You saved the world, just like you were supposed to. This is just something I need to…” She bit her lip, trying to work out the correct words, and finally settled on, “Process.”

He didn’t like it, but he nodded, and she physically relaxed at the sight.

“Good. Thank you. Just…” She sighed, running a hand through her bangs. “Just try not to do anything to get yourself killed for at least a few days, okay?”

Ash grinned. “I can try.”

She smiled softly. “That’s all I ask.”

A moment of pleasant silence passed between them, broken only by Tracy calling them over to help him get lunch prepared, and as they walked over, Ash paid particular attention to his footsteps, making sure not to slip or fall.

Because many people forget about it, but Ash is King of the Sea as of the Manaphy movie. I'm just imagining TA!AU Ash disliking going to the beach because he always gets mobbed by baby Water Types and he just wants to relax. Everyone found it so freaking surreal that a bunch of Water Types just charged out of the ocean and onto the beach when Ash was trapped inside that giant Palossand.

Ta!Ash genuinely likes the sea because of Lugia, despite all odds during Shamouti, but being the King of The Sea does leave a damper on his excitement about the water and being fully surrounded by it on all the islands.

Lana continuously tries to get him to swim with her in the morning, as that's when the mothers take the baby water Pokémon out to go hunt and eat, but it's a struggle because Ash likes Lana but he likes his sleep a lot more.

Farewell to You, ch 6

 Togetic flew over to Misty, tears rolling down its face. Misty was frozen for a second before she started to cry tears of happiness. She gushed, "You came back!"

Mitsy hugged Togetic so tightly as both mother and daughter both started to cry. Misty pulled out of their hug.

Lucy asked, "But what is Togetic doing here? Wasn't it supposed to stay in the Togepi Paradise? Isn't that what you told me, Brock?"

Kenny pointed out, "Maybe it sensed what was going on here and wanted to help."

Goh stated, "That's a good point."

Misty turned to Togetic, "If you are, that's wonderful news!"

Chloe frowned, "I think it wants to stay."

Misty's eyes widen as she turned to Togetic, "Is that true?"

To that, Togetic nodded happily. Misty had tears in her eyes as she brought out a pokeball. Togetic went in it and the red light dimmed. Ash was beyond happy for Misty.

Solidad stated, "Now that's what I call a happy ending."

Harley added, "Got that right, hun."

Brandon told them, "It still doesn't change the fact that we have no idea where Lugia is."

Luka thought for a moment and said, "We might." Everyone looked at her and she explained, "Lately Silver has been having a visitor. Another Lugia." Everyone gasped. She added, "And no one knows where it came from."

Anabel admitted, "It's a bit of a stretch but I think we should check it out."

Ash told everyone, "Let's split up. Dawn, Kenny, Paul, Ranee, Zoey, Todd, Barry, and Bianca will check out Mount Coronet. Misty, me, Brock, Brandon, Luka, and Lucy will check out near Ogi Island. Everyone else stand-by here in case something go south."

To that, everyone nodded. Dawn recalled Buneary. Dawn gave Johana a hug before she left. Johana returned it, kissing Dawn's head. They parted from their hug. Dawn went over to Ash.

Dawn told Ash, "Be careful."

Ash replied, "You too. You got this."

"Pika!" Pikachu said.

"Piplup!" Piplup said.

Barry said farewell to Palmer, who waved goodbye. With that, Dawn's team headed out. The weather had stopped changing for a few minutes as Ash turned to his mom. He gave her a quick hug. She returned it.

Delia whispered, "Be careful, Ash."

Ash winked teasingly, "You ought to know me better than that."

Delia laughed as she messed up his hair. Ash laughed as he turned to his team. They all nodded and then started to head out.

Misty told her sisters, "Wish us luck!"

Daisy, Lily, and Violet all said, "Luck."

As Ash's group left, Delia was crying. She was proud of the man that her son had become.

Palmer told her, "You know that they're going to be okay."

Delia sniffled, "I know... But you know as well as I do, I still worry."

Johanna admitted, "And that's when Dawn says not to worry, I still do. There's nothing wrong with that, Delia."

Professor Oak said, "That's so true. I worry about Andrew and Gary all of the time." He paused and slightly teased, "Someone has to."

Gary shot his grandpa a look, "Oh ha ha, gramps."

To that, Professor Oak chuckled. Max turned to Molly.

He asked, "Are you okay, Molly?"

Molly admitted, "Yeah, guess so. Thanks for checking on me, Max."

Max blushed, "Anytime."

To that, Molly blushed.

Anabel told Looker, "I think we should go to Shamouti too."

Looker nodded in agreement, "If anyone else wants to go with us, they are more than welcomed to."

Gary and Erika decided to go with them. The rest of them stayed behind, just in case.

...

Back with Dawn's group, they were climbing Mount Coronet. Dawn had grabbed her heavy coat from her backpack and put it on. It was starting to get really cold. Everyone had done the same thing. Kenny was wearing a light green heavy coat. Paul was wearing a dark purple heavy coat. Ranee was wearing a dark purple heavy coat. Zoey was wearing a yellow heavy jacket. Todd was wearing a red heavy coat. Barry was wearing an orange heavy jacket. Bianca was wearing an orange and white heavy jacket.

Dawn was clutching Piplup close. So close that Piplup was struggling in her grip.

"Pip!" Piplup complained.

Dawn perked up, letting go of her Water type.

She apologized, "Sorry."

Kenny asked, "Are you alright?"

Dawn admitted, "Not really... Just stressed. And scared..."

Kenny raised a brow, "This coming from the girl that says 'no need to worry' constantly? And the one that helped save the world more than once?"

Dawn blushed, "Kenny..."

Kenny told her, "Listen Dawn, there's nothing to be worried about. We have amazing teammates and an amazing leader. I know we can do this. We can do this together."

Dawn kissed him, making Kenny blush. Dawn pulled out of the kiss. She smiled at him.

She said, "Thanks Kenny."

Kenny stated, "Anytime, Dee-Dee."

Dawn flushed out of embarrassment but didn't protest.

Paul asked, "You two done yet?"

Dawn and Kenny both blushed as the rest of the group laughed.

Todd stated, "I can't wait to see Articuno again. Maybe I could get its picture again."

Zoey asked, "You really like taking pictures of Pokemon, don't you?"

Todd answered, "Well, yeah. It's always been a passion of mine."

Zoey stated, "That's pretty cool."

Todd blushed as he admitted quietly, "You're pretty cool."

Zoey perked up, "Wait, what?"

Todd faked a cough, "Coughing! I was coughing! Those weren't words."

Paul groaned, "I'm surrounded by idiots."

Ranee pointed out, "You're dating me so what's your point?"

To that, Paul flushed. Everyone laughed. Barry had Bianca's hand, smiling at her. Bianca laced their fingers, keeping him close.

Barry asked, "Are we getting there?"

Bianca admitted, "Not sure cause it seems like this mountain keeps going."

Barry stated, "I hope we don't get there too late."

Bianca shuffled herself a bit closer to her boyfriend, "Same..."

A shriek caught their attention. The team perked up. That's when they saw Articuno.

Todd breathed, "Articuno..."

Zoey stated, "It's beautiful."

Barry told the Ice/Flying type, "Articuno, we've come to warn you. The other legendary birds have been collected."

Articuno perked up, shrieking in surprise.

Bianca confirmed, "It's true. And we've come to protect you as well."

Dawn asked, "Do you know where Lugia is...? Maybe it can help?"

"Pip!" Piplup said.

Articuno shrieked as if it didn't know.

Kenny frowned, "That sounded like a no."

Before anything could happen, the weather changed again. This time, it was hailing.

Paul groaned, "Oh great, as if things couldn't get any worse."

That's when the airship appeared.

...

Wishmaker1028: Wow, I love doing this. This has been so much fun, honestly. Also, did anyone notice the Gravity Falls reference in this chapter? Please read and review! And always think outside of the box!

[pokemonislanderprincess]

You know I sometimes wonder if Ash ever acknowledged the fact that Misty was the one who saved his a** when he was on the verge of drowning while trying to save the world in “ Pokémon the movie”. I know he was too preoccupied to thank her at that time or he might not have even known since he was unconscious throughout. A part of me was a tad bit disappointed that some dialogues regarding that were never exchanged between the two. I know Misty isn’t the type to go and tell him that “look here mister Pokémon master you know I saved your sorry a** from drowning” but I do wonder if Tracey or someone else ever told him? Would have loved to see his reaction. She put her life at risk for him, gosh I love this pairing <3

I wouldn't be surprised if Ash had some sense that she saved him. I could see him randomly and very casually bringing it up to her one day, almost like "you know, I never thanked you for saving me on Shamouti Island" and really throwing her for a loop. Because, like you said, she believed he had no idea it had even happened.

Whether it's because he was briefly conscious at some point or because Tracey told him, I'm not sure, but I do think he'd know. Personally, I quite like the idea of him briefly regaining consciousness just to see the blurry shape of Misty and, even though he wasn't fully present, knowing it was her.

M02: Lugia's Explosive Birth - VII. Apologize to Your Mother, Young Man

So that's that. The three Legendary Birds decide not to be territorial dicks anymore and go back to their islands to resume generating ocean currents or whatever Oak said their godly duty is.

Lugia takes Ash on a victory lap joy-ride around the islands. Then they swear Ash to secrecy because it's better that the world doesn't know they exist; Sorry to be that guy, but you'll be in the G2 Pokedex, I'm afraid. That ship has sailed.

And then his mom finds out what he did. Hanako/Delia arrives and goes full Chi-Chi, ripping into Ash for daring to risk his life and save the world. He is a child! Doesn't he understand how much it would tear her apart if anything happened to him!?

She softens a bit over the course of the conversation but only as far as, "Reach for your goal but don't overextend yourself, okay?" Okay, mom. Sorry for saving the world. I won't do it again.

(Ash is going to do it again.)

The Rockets make it safely to land, washing up on the shore of Earthia/Shamouti and celebrating the happy ending.

And Dipshit, whose name was not mentioned at any point in the film, is apparently alive and well. He takes his Pokemon TCG Mew card and goes home. I guess we can't everything.

@byeolyeou wanted a starter.

KETCHUM. it was a beautiful, sunny day. the waters of shamouti island were crisp and clear. lapras was bringing them along, trilling happily as it goes. the red trainer is nostalgic, it's been twenty years since it all happened. before he's brought back from his thoughts; glancing to the electric mouse perched on lapras' head.

pi! pik-ka-chu! pi pi pi! ash chuckles fondly, before squirtle pops free of its pokeball, joining lapras in the water. reaching, ash ruffles pikachu's ears. up above them, charizard and dragonite are zig-zagging through the skies.

The Ancient Prophecy of Shamouti Island

[fridge-04]

Every day I wake up and remember that I can never visit Shamouti Island from Pokémon 2000 and I cry

[my-fankid-daycare]

I commissioned @viviraptor-art like... a few months ago and than just forgot to post my commission here. 

This is Sharon, the first Shamouti Island maiden. Things were a lot different on the island back then. She might not have even been the only maiden to serve the island and the legendary birds. However most sources on her life are lost to time...

This OC is important to my fankid-verse lore I swear. Until I actually get to that point in my writing tho here is some nice art for y’all to just... look at!

God in the Midst

Chapter 4: MID WINTER — III

The next day, Ash and Goh arrive in the Orange Islands. All seems to be well — the pep bohakha has returned, the Island of Shamouti is thriving. Wherever could it go wrong?
