#volo gives me creeper vibes

[felswritingfire]

Y'all, like, hear me out, but I have been aggressively playing Pokemon Legend of Arceus, right?? I'm like half way through it, but I've fucking seen Volo, ok??? Idk the build up but I know he's the last fucker. I FEEL IT IN MY BONES.

(Ramble into spoiler territory for later parts of Legends of Arceus)

BUT ANYHOW, HEAR ME OUT:

Ingo's S/O falling into Hisui, right? They're kind-sorta teetering on the edge of being an amnesiac, but they manage to grapple enough of their memories together to still remember their Ingo- they're still missing minor pieces of their life before Hisui, but nothing that would cause them to panic and their memories are coming back a slowly, but steady, trickles.

S/O ends up filling the place of the main protagonist in the game (Akari/Rei). They name their Oshawott, that they get from Laventon, after Ingo since the little guy has such a similar attitude and face to what they remember of him. So they go through the story with Ingo Jr. As their partner.

They meet Akari and Rei who are young Galaxy Team members who end up helping S/O and slowly begin to form a found family with them as their adopted kids.

S/O ends up meeting Volo and Volo ends up taking an unhealthy interest in them, managing to wedge himself into their life, taking up more and more of their time in between filling the Pokedex and appeasing the Gaurdians. That is until they run into Warden Ingo.

The attraction is immediate and the two become attached at the hip. Whenever S/O has any sort of free time, they can be seen next to the Warden and vice versa. Ingo might not remember why he's so attached to this person, but his heart aches when they're apart.

Volo slowly begins to feel himself fall into a pit of rage- his stomach tearing itself apart as it boils with a newfound hatred towards the stupid shell of a Warden. He hates him. Hates him, hates him, hates him. He wants him gone- he wants that sad, pathetic man to stop hogging all of S/O's attention. He wants them to focus on him again; see him as the beginning and the end. he wants everything that makes them.

Ingo knows there's something wrong with the Ginkgo Merchant: he can see it in the way the man stares at S/O like they're some kind of fruit ripe for the taking. Starved and mad. Ingo curls his lip at the mear presence of this guy.

Volo doesn't miss the way Ingo actively tries to steer S/O away from him. He even got that damn Sneasler in the mix: she's begun to hiss at him, taking the quick, practiced steps of shoving you in her basket and climbing away from him, most likely towards her precious little Warden. The smile on his face turns deadly and his eyes narrow into glares.

Well, two can play that game. After S/O had dealt with Palkia and Dialga, after being kicked out by the Galaxy Team, and him so graciously helping them when sweet, precious, dear Ingo couldn't- being preoccupied with Warden business- they had come to fully trust him. And now with Kamado having you work with him to discover the secrets of the myths, with no wiggle room to negotiate. He would sit back and watch as Ingo forced himself to bite his tongue everytime he stood and bore witness to the two of them departing; Volos' hand resting low on their waist, his smile twisted with something dark as he held his gaze with the brutal one of the Warden.

Yes. Two could play this game. And Volo was gonna win.

Now he had to also bribe that damn Samurott of their's too.

Like, how fucking whack would that shit be?? Am I right??? Fucking. Yes.
