fuck it i'm reposting milo's ref sheet to add a little bio + full story summary

milo elloway

they/he

a casual trainer who works at a quilt shop in nimbasa

a pretty lighthearted + easygoing guy, goofy on the regular, and enjoys making people laugh. tends to be on the quiet side. he can be awkward at times but earnest

❤️: hard rock + metal, quilting + sewing, horror fiction, rpgs, casual battling, retro aesthetics, learning languages

❌: high bridges, driving, cooking, large bodies of water, waking up early, the competitive circuit

and now, story summary under the cut

so!

as it says, milo's originally from (an) earth! they fell asleep on the metro on their way back home from visiting friends, and woke up Somewhere Else, on a train Unfamiliar to them. the earth they're from doesn't have pokemon, even as a franchise, so they've got NO idea wtf is going on

ingo + emmet find them incredibly confused + speaking no known language with a phone map that doesn't match the world, rightly figure maybe dimensional shenanigans are about, and take them to the interpol. while a case is opened up for milo, the nimbasa trio adopts them as a sort of interdimensional exchange student, showing them around, and then helping them get their footing in the pokemon world when the interpol isn't able to find a way to get them back home.

milo has to grapple with the language barrier (learning galarian from scratch) and culture shock for a while, plus mounting guilt as they slowly realize they prefer the pokemon world to their earth but have no way to let their loved ones know what happened and that they're okay (they eventually come to terms with it, but it takes a couple years)

in between language lessons, they hang out a lot with new friends (the nimbasa trio + a whole host of ocs i have not drawn yet), and pretty much everyone encourages them to give training a try. so they do! they do their own little gym run, and earn a few badges before tapping out and heading back to nimbasa, content with being a mid-strength trainer.

as they get further settled in, they pick quilting back up, and after showing a few projects to the local quilt shop, get hired there! they make friends with many old ladies + the shop sewaddle and gain a reputation amongst the regulars for having a good color sense.

there's a good stretch of just peaceful life for them, happily working, getting to know ingo + emmet + elesa + various ocs better as their language skills improve, and traveling around the region in their spare time. they even nearly start building a romance with ingo, but this gets interrupted when the interpol find another person from earth in hoenn, and milo ventures abroad to meet them + see the region! they extend the trip to see a little bit of johto, but that gets cut short when ingo goes missing.

it takes over a year, but milo + emmet manage to get to hisui with the help of a celebi, and are able to find ingo! but, arceus is miffed at their meddling and removes celebi from the premises, stranding the three of them in the past for a couple years. during this time, the events of legends arceus happen, with the three of them basically functioning as npcs. ingo does what he does in canon, emmet helps laventon with the pokedex + manages the training grounds with ingo, and milo apprentices at the clothier's in jubilife!

i'm still working out how the three of them factor into the canon storyline of pl:a and how big a role i want them to play, but they for sure join the wider party of people supporting akari. and, post-rift-fixing, milo does get together with ingo :]

that's everything i've written out so far (my document is so fucking big. this is as concise a post as i could make it), but i really like the idea of bringing in elesa with jirachi for the post-game of pl:a, and i do intend to get everyone back to the future.

if you read all this, god damn, i appreciate it!! if you found this interesting and want more, here's the tag i've got going for this au

“if you see something you like, it’s yours!”

[cartoon boing sound effect]

[nervous laughter] “okay!… wait, so…”

“this is big, huh?”

“you’re too nice! don’t worry, i can take it. not the whole thing, thank goodness, that’d be really hard.”

[loud, repetitive metal clanging]

“yes! this is gonna be fun!”

[clanging continued]

“please, go on.”

[clanging speeds up]

“serves me right! that’s it, make me take my medicine!”

[disjointed metal falling sound, layered with Yes Man’s “woohoo!”]

“you really know how to make a robot happy!”

[cartoon smooch sound effect]

“i love you too.”

Formula Skippy

„Once upon a time, there was a SPC Schwarz stationed with the Army in the Balkans. SPC Schwarz was either very clever or very bored; but probably both, since he managed to attempt or be warned about 213 things he wasn’t allowed to do. He collected those things into a hilarious list and posted them to the web. […]

First, a word of intro For those of you that don’t really know Skippy, he’s a friend of mine that, in a sad state of sobriety, decided to join the Army. He’s also one of the Universe’s great agents of Chaos and Discord. Feel free to email him with whatever questions you might have, and don’t be concerned about whether or not he knows you or even if he understands what the hell you’re talking about. I don’t. BTW: Skippy is in Psyops. The first time I met him he was wearing a kilt made of fruit roll-ups. Now, on to the list!“
