#zoroark twins au

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

aaaah. man. anyone remember that discussion a while back abt how ingo and h.zor have a lot in common actually.

like, i think it'd make total sense actually for him to become a zorua were he to die on mount coronet rather than being found by the pearl clan. but at the same time, i also think it might make sense for him to not become a hostile one. because h.zorua/zoroark are broadly said to be unilaterally malicious towards humans, but they're also the product of a terminal abandonment by the world, and their malice comes from resentment over that fate. and ingo... was abandoned on mount coronet, in a sense. lost and alone completely removed from anything he could call a home or that held any safety or comfort.

but unlike the zorua in canon, it wasn't an abandonment with a face to it? there was no direct hatred or fear, nothing said begone, monster, etc. he might not even remember why it happened. all he knows is he's suddenly alone.

so like. malice. possibly? but it can't really be a resentment specifically towards humans, can it, so much as it would be just a general grudge against the universe. and that's if it exists at all and he isn't just sort of... constantly mourning himself, which is the other option.

alternately: he retains knowledge of how it happened somehow, and reincarnates as a zorua who doesn't hate people but really really specifically wants to fucking kill god. that would be fun.

Got Warden Ingo on my brain.

....

Time to share some headcanons I thought about.

(keep in mind, I have never played the game, I may get some things wrong. . Be kind)

In Hisui:

Was there for 4 years, was "missing" For 2 years in Unova (Space time distortions are WEIRD)

-Has CONSTANT migraines due to his memory loss and head injury. Tended to night terrors when he had a memory return to him, depending on how small or large the memory was. Once was out for commission for a WEEK due to spotting a Steelix zooming by and it reminded him of the subways and Gear Station.

-He considers Iscan, Gaeric and Palina as his friends, and Calaba as his "Nana". He and Melli are on good terms and get along well, despite Melli's constantly denying he's "friends" with that weird man on the other side of the Highlands. He knows he's lying.

-COVERED in scars, mostly some handling baby Sneasels or rock climbing. His main ones are on his right eye (attack from a Luxray, thankfully just a flesh wound and didn't lose his eye), his left arm and shoulder (saving Rei from a Zoroark attack) and his side (Got into a fight with some poachers.)

-Became a bit feral while there (Autism be darned, this train boi can fist- fight a Garchomp and win). He once fought a rogue male Sneasler that got WAYY too close to his Noble's den. Forgot his pokeballs, only had his dagger on him.

-Lady Sneasler is the pokemon he's CLOSEST with. He feels indebted to her since she saved him and chose him to be a canidate to become her warden. Plus for him, its easier to talk to a pokemon than people about his problems. She's his emotional support pokemon, and Lady Sneasler considers him her FAVORITE warden she's had. Platonic Soulmates, fite meh.

-I subscribe to Dad! Ingo adopting the protag. Its too precious not to happen. Plus it would make sense for the ONLY other Skyfaller to bond with the protag. (I subcribe to the Au that the protag NOT being Dawn/Lucas, more like they have a similar appearance) I especailly enjoy the fics where he has adopted both of them. (A twin adopting a pair of twins, love it)

Post Hisui (Back in Nimbasa, Unova)"

-Still has Migraines, but they had lessened now he's back with family. Developed a habit of rubbing his hands together when he's nervous.

-REFUSED to leave Emmet's side when they reunited. He felt so guilty of forgetting his own twin he clung to him like a Slowpoke. Emmet didn't complain, he was the same.

-Took him 6-8 months to finally return to his normal life and his Subway boss duties. Repeating weeks of therapy, meds, and constant stress from the public that he considered the WORST weeks of his life. PTSD, anxiety, and

-Still has memory relapses, sometimes due to stress. It's gotten better over time, but sometimes he ends up wandering down a random street disassociating. Agreed with Emmet to get a tracker on his phone in case he has one when separated so he could find him.

-He takes Lady Sneasler back with him (He's her odd human and ain't leaving his side, and already chosen a successor since she was getting older) along with his Hisui team. It's always a shock to the trainers battling him when he switches up the team. Lady Sneasler is useful when scaring unwanted Plasma grunts hiding in the subways.

-Still has days when he's a bit feral. First week of him back, he REFUSED to sleep on his bed. Instead slept on the floor with his sheets and blankets pulled off and formed into a nest. Emmet now takes Ingo camping or hiking whenever Ingo gets overwhelmed at work and need to let loose a bit becomes a bit too much.

-His newfound reflexes always surprises his family (comes when being constantly being in danger of wild pokemon). He once flips his Uncle Drayden onto his back when he accidentally bumps against his arm when getting a cup of water. Ingo spent a whole HOUR apologizing, when Drayden was actually quite impressed.

-makes Hisuian recipes for his brother and Elesa. He's pretty good at it. Emmet got him a cookbook for their birthday. Ingo made him a carved Joltick in return.

Ooh! An idea with any Poke-Hybrids of your choice, how do you think they'd react if (through whatever shenanigans) S/O was changed into the same hybrid species as them? (Permanent or temporary is up to you)

cw: pokehybrid au, temporary transformation

characters: Ingo, Emmet, Larry, Grimsley

Somehow, you were not sure what had happened, but a very upset Zoroark with oddly coloured fur had done something to you. What had happened was truthfully far beyond you, but something was obviously off with your body. It took a minute until you found a place with a public restroom and mirror. When you had, however, it all quickly became clear. You had to take a step back in panic before reaching for your phone to finally contact your partner.

▲Chandelure Ingo▼

● At first, Ingo had not believed you. It seemed fantastical and not bound by any kind of logic. His main concern was that a Zoroark had used Confuse Ray on you. Yet, when he found you waiting outside, he knew instantly what that eerie purple glow that ruminated from you in the low light of the evening was. Your eyes held a familiar yellow iridescence. Ingo was shocked. Yes, he had met a few other Chandelure hybrids in his time, yet you… Well, you had always been a human. You ran over to him and clung to his body while asking for answers. He only wished that he knew. The older twin rubbed your back as he debated his next moves.

● First, his concern was nutrient changes. Chandelures... They had a very specific dietary need that humans never exactly had to worry about. Teaching you how to responsibly absorb life energy was a must so that you could go without incident while you were stuck as a hybrid. His next concern was behavioural. While he was more than used to suppressing whatever urges entered his mind due to his upbringing, he imagined it would be a bit harder for you. The urge to spin needs to be rejected. He felt odd going through the list of ways he pretended to be human with you. Especially when you gazed at him with a strange look in your eyes. Those feelings were forced down. Your safety was most important.

● Though, he did relax a bit when you two were alone. There was no way to describe the feeling he got as you both spun together to just show your joy or seeing how your flames burned brighter in each other's presence. He hummed for you and felt eager when you joined – an eerie harmony achieved. Part of him felt awful for enjoying these things more than he should. He loved you no matter what, after all. Yet… Indulging these parts of himself without feeling like a bother or strange to you was simply too much. The feeling of having so much deeper understanding of how he was… Ingo cherished those moments entirely.

● Ultimately, however, whatever trick had been done to you wore off, and you were back to yourself within the week. Ingo lamented it for a moment but understood that it was for the best. To have such a sudden, unexpected change brought to you was difficult… He certainly could not have imagined handling it well. The moments of harmonising and dancing with him stayed. The experience had at least given you insight into how to better meet his needs. You did not particularly feel like joining him on “food” runs again, though, alas.

▽Galvantula Emmet△

○ While he did not much like leaving his den (your shared apartment), he felt obligated by how simply distressed you had sounded. It was difficult getting to where you were, but when he found you, he blinked a few times. Then, he screamed and tried to run away. You chased after him, demanding that he help you understand. Needless to say, the instinctual fear of being eaten by a mate was still very much present inside him – Even if he loved and adored you. When you turned to stare at him with six eyes and scuttled around on your legs… His mind just registered panic and fear. You did eventually manage to catch up to him. He calmed down finally. Then, he realised that something serious had happened and called Ingo.

○ He does not know what to do. Emmet is completely and utterly bewildered by your state. You were almost certainly not a Galvantula hybrid when you had departed from the apartment this morning. Now you undeniably were. He then realised something terrible. Your diet! He had already been concerned over human nutrition… He instantly was eager to impress you by hunting more bug types for you to eat. And all to make sure you were well-fed. He verrrrry much did not want to be eaten. Another part that occurred to him was web making… Excitement bubbled up inside him at the thought of teaching you. His fears almost faded instantly at the thought of spending time with you in the ways only Galvantulas could.

○ Building a web with you was definitely a strangely romantic experience. It was mostly learning on your part, but teaching you was something he deeply enjoyed. His gasp when you had made your own hammock made you smile, too. The living may have been filled with many previous attempts, but he felt excited that you finally had done it. There was only more giddiness to follow when you somehow caught a Weedle all on your own in one of your webs. Granted, you still were not a fan of eating bugs, but when told that you might start attacking Emmet, you felt swayed to try. The younger twin felt a sense of contentment with the situation.

○ Yet, it ended. A few days later, you woke up in the web hammock back to normal and able to return to the comfort of human foods. Emmet had been a little sad at first, but the relief that you would no longer be tempted to eat him was something greater. And, well, as much fun as it had been living with another hybrid, he loved his cute human mate way more. You were nicer about his webs, too, having come to understand how complicated they get and their importance to him. The experience was overall a good one, he thinks.

💼Staraptor Larry🏢

🍙 The salaryman nearly hung up. It sounded illogical. The entire story and climbing that you had wings like him. Then, he considered it for a moment. Why would you lie about that? He got up and headed to where you were. His astonishment about your condition was masked by his usual facade. Your panic was clear as day as you rushed towards him, asking him to confirm that you had not been hallucinating. He brought a hand out to your wings, feeling the soft feathers and warmth coming from them. They were real, without a doubt. He felt tired just thinking about how to go about handling this.

🍙 He basically informed you to not really change anything. There was no need to learn to fly, even though he rarely used his wings. There was no need for you to hunt, either. Your diet should fulfil the nutritional standards for a Staraptor. Essentially, he wanted you to remain as you and barely acknowledge the wings and talons. After a bit of pestering, however, he does relent to teaching you how to fly. You kept alluding to it and pushing it – There really was no way to escape how much you wished to learn to fly. He was fine relenting to you.

🍙 Teaching you to fly was a strange experience. You were not a Starly hybrid, after all. Most Staraptors had already long since mastered this skill, yet… You were not really a Staraptor. Your struggles were obvious, certainly looking like hatchling with how you took to the ground, but Larry worked you through everything with detailed instructions, making it clear what you needed to do. Eventually, you both took to the skies together. The experience was odd to Larry yet… It was deeply charming to some instinctual part of him. Flying with a mate was an important part of getting to know each other. You both were long past that stage, though. There was also an unexpected song call between you both. His heart felt oddly light and free from its cynical prison in those moments. Of course… He knew somewhere deep down that they were not meant to last.

🍙 You were back to being your normal self soon enough. Everything was gone. Larry almost felt disappointed, but he had expected it. This was the natural order of things. You seemingly noticed his slightly down turn in mood as you hummed the mating song back at him. He unconsciously returned it. A sigh left him. Well, you really were his mate now as you both had gone through every step on his side of things now. He was grateful the song remained a common thing between you both in the end.

♠️Liepard Grimsley❤️

♤ The gambler actually hung up. Though, when he thought about what you claimed for a moment, he called back and apologised. Well, if you were lying, he supposed he could claim he called your bluff, but… If you were not. He did feel a bit lost on what to do from there. His familiarity with dark types made him wonder if you were under the effect of some Zoroark's illusion and only thought you had those traits. But, well, the illusion of those pokemon are very convincing and almost lifelike. His suspicions remained even when he saw you like a familiar pair of ears and a tail. Though, he let out a chuckle. You looked utterly adorable with Liepard hybrid traits, and he loved how you clung to him and begged for answers. He wished that he knew.

♡ There was little to teach you about being a Liepard. Grimsley supposed if you were not eating meat before, you might have to for now, but he could arrange an appointment with a doctor to figure out what supplements could keep you in good form. He did warn you that your teeth were much sharper now and to be careful if you intended to bite anyone, but there was no reason for you to be biting anyone anyway. Though, you did manage to sneak up on him once or twice and make him hiss at you while puffing up. He then iterates that your steps are unconsciously more controlled.

◇ Part of him quickly grows attached to you being a hybrid like him. Curling up with you while purrs unconsciously erupted from the both of you was simply one of the best things he had in his life. The few times you curled your tail around his waist got a chuckle out of him, too, clearly imitating what he usually did to you. There was also something so enjoyable about being able to scratch at your ears and introduce you to that feeling. Your purrs in response to his touches made him all the more eager. His mind even rushed to more intimate things related to Liepard's biology but…

♧ One morning within that week, you both woke up to your return to normalcy. The ears and tail were gone, alongside any other additions. Grimsley felt mildly annoyed, but he had suspected it was a temporary state from the beginning. Part of him wanted to know about what caused it, yet he was aware that information would simply be too difficult to obtain. He would miss your purrs greatly, and the cute way your tail would betray whatever your emotion your face held. Now, however, you seemed easily to notice when he was creeping behind you. He felt annoyed about that. Fun ruined by that Zoroark. (He enjoys the thrill of it even more, though.)

[mr-jack-letterman]

HELLO HI

God I love the Submas fandom, all of you are so nice <3

In any case, I have a silly Au for y'all to munch on.

Allow me to introduce you all to Covalent Twins :]

Covalent

Adjective

- Relating to or denoting chemical bonds formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms.

Or in this case, the sharing of Emmet between 2 Ingos from different timelines NSNDNNDDD.

This Au is essentially the answer to the question: "doesn't being sent to the distant past inherently mean you are also now long dead in the future you just left?"

The answer is yes and no btw

The explanation for this involves a lot of time nonsense that I'm very bad at explaining but the Tldr is basically this:

When Ingo gets sent to the past, this creates a connection between the past and the future. This makes time get all fucky and split into two separate timelines (Timeline A and Timeline B)

Timeline A:

Time in this timeline runs parallel to the future as long as Ingo stays within it (essentially, if Ingo stays in the past for 2 years, then 2 years pass in the present).

Due to this connection, Akari (aka Dawn) gets sent to this timeline (But not Timeline B) and the game events of PLA play out (+ a lot more Ingo bonding because uncle Ingo supremacy)

Akari manages to get her and Ingo sent back home with the power of Arceus, causing both timelines to merge back together again into one cohesive line with only the events of Timeline B being remembered by history.

Ingo and Emmet get their happy ending.

This Ingo got sent to Hisui when he was 29, stayed there for 2 years, and went home when he was 31.

And Timeline B:

This timeline was created as a cannon fodder timeline so Akari and Ingo can keep doing time shenanigans in Timeline A without disturbing the space time continuum even more.

This timeline is therefore not connected to the future the same way Timeline A is.

The Ingo of this timeline (Nicknamed "War" or "Warden" for simplicity.) lives through the PLA game events but with Rei taking the place of Akari.

War doesn't bond with him the same way Ingo does with Akari because Rei isn't a faller.

The events of the game are the exact same (minus the Arc phone, Rei taking the place of Akari, and catching Arceus).

Despite Rei calming the nobles and catching Palkia and Dialga, he is still not the chosen hero. Warden is unable to go home or regain his memories.

Warden lives in Hisui and serves as a warden for the Pearl Clan for a total of 7 years before dying alongside his partner pokemon, Gliscor (nicknamed Nimbasa), while protecting Lady Sneasler from a Zoroark attack at the age of 36.

Warden drifts as a ghost for many years, with only Nimbasa the Gliscor as company. He watches his friends grow old, and eventually die. They pass on to the afterlife, but Warden stays on earth, wandering the Alabaster Icelands and Mount Coronet, searching for people from a life he can't remember even in death.

Warden watches as Hisui changes into Sinnoh. Jubilife Village becomes Jubilife City. Pokemon species die out and new ones are born.

As the world slowly becomes more and more familiar, the great Sinnohs, Palkia and Dialga, take pity on the lost warden, and decide together to lead him home.

It may take 150 years, and many miles of travel, but Warden is pulled by an unknown force towards the Unova region. Though he is unable to touch anything or speak to anyone, it's all so painfully familiar.

He is pulled towards Nimbasa city, (ah! That's where he got the name from!) and eventually to an apartment.

There, he is greeted by a young girl, barely 17. A man in black, who looks exactly like him, give or take a few years and a few scars.

And a smiling man in white. The man he has been searching for for over 150 years...

And they're staring at him, truly staring at him, not through him.

Why is the man in white crying?

*evil laughter.mp3*

So yeah! The twins have an older brother now :D

I mean he's dead and also Ingo just 5 years older and from a different timeline but still!!!

If you've made it this far I believe you deserve a gold star ⭐ and also some art for your troubles.

So here's War and Nimbasa ↓

And some fluffy interaction between War and Emmet as a bandaid.

If you guys have any questions regarding how this Au works, or are interested in seeing more of it, don't hesitate to shoot me an ask :D

I hope I enjoyed reading about my silly Au, even if it was a bit long lol.

*fades back into the void of Submas fics.*

[critter-catch-them-all-fella]

After spending most of the day just drawing for it, I am excited to introduce my take on the Zorua/Zoroark submas au concept!

I haven’t decided on a title for it and the Google doc is just called “Zoro-character ark” but I do have many thoughts about it. The ways it differs from other Zoroark aus is that a) it is one of the ones where both twins are pokemon and b) they are an incredibly rare phenomenon where their human appearances aren’t illusions but are instead actual fully developed forms that are indistinguishable from a regular human in almost every way. They were found in the forest as human children and taken in by Drayden and had to learn how to access and control their pokemon forms later in life.

Emmet was the first to accidentlly discover what he actually is but Ingo proved that neither was fully human not long after. They have three kinds of forms as described in these VERY quickly made guide sketches

Other than that, which just outlines the base world the au takes place in, any of the au I write would focus on Hisui and/or post reunion. In Hisui, during a terrible storm near the cliffs that overlook the sea, Ingo ordered his Pokémon to prioritize getting themselves to saftey and ends up dying. His pokemon find him as a Hisuian Zorua very quickly, before he is really conscious, and take him in. When he becomes strong and healthy enough to regain access to his human form (he thankfully still has one) he excuses the many months of absence as getting caught up in bad weather. Only Akari ever learns that he isn’t only human in Hisui and she meets him a months after he has already convinced everyone that he never died so she doesn’t know that hewas ever different. The only other creatures he speaks to in Hisui, his pokemon and charge, already know the story- knew what happened to him before even he did. Due to this, he never had to really think about or explain what happened to him. When he gets back to modern day and his family, he avoids as many situations where he would otherwise shift as possible before finally running out of excuses (and his pokemon’s patience). He didn’t want to acknowledge what happened and he feared that learning of his fate would make it harder for his family to look at him but being able to be himself around them again and gaining help on carrying the burden turns out to be verrrrry much so worth it.

Here are the rest of the sketches/information pages I have so far, focusing on their adult designs/life. I hope you’ve enjoyed looking at this au and hope to write or draw more for it in the future.

[au-wannabe-the-very-best]

AU where Ingo lands in Hisui, but his memories remain intact. He's still found by the Pearl Clan, and it takes him a while to realize hey wait this isn't just some isolated clan in the middle of nowhere, this is like. The Past.

Anyways, having his memories, Ingo actually... finds himself butting heads with a lot of people in the clan, even if he's doing his best to be perfectly polite. Their superstitions lead to unhealthy practices and it's driving him insane. Where's the safety checks?!

It actually comes to a head when Ingo sees firsthand how people treat twins. Him being an identical twin suddenly feels very fucking unsafe in this settlement when he hears them talking about taking the firstborn twin and literally murdering them. They're NOT a Zorua! Holy shit, Zoroark illusions can't trick you into feeling like you gave BIRTH, what sort of ridiculous thought process is this?!

Ingo takes the baby and runs.

Doesn't end up getting very far. Nobody follows, of course, like, they're gonna die out there anyways, no point to caring. Meanwhile Ingo ends up right in the middle of Zoroark territory and he's just. Not really afraid of these guys?

"Terribly sorry for invading your territory, but could you direct me to where I may go so me and my passenger can rest our cab for the time being?"

The Zoroark are like. Hey this guy is weirdly nice. Also he's got like a literal baby, they're not MONSTERS. Hmmm sure follow us pal.

Ingo and his new baby gets adopted by a Zoroark pack.

AUs in the running!

(Not in bracket order) (Going to be slowly updated over time as I send out more messages and get more responses)

But first! The tagging system!

🐶 Ingo or Emmet are something non human (like a cretur, ghost, pokemon or some other non human thing)

🔥 This AU features intense emotions that may not be suitable for people who are looking for a more easy going experience (sometimes people can’t handle strong angst or horror- and that’s totally okay! This tag is to show that this AU may not be for them)

📚 This AU has a comic or fic you can read! (Purely organizational tag)

Every AU is tagged by the author according to what they think is best. Use these tags as guidelines when looking for new AUs and not as hard and fast rules.

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

Hmm, why go for the wardens and nobles and not Volo specifically? I feel like Volo would be... tainted? in some way, maybe. Or somehow otherwise spiritually affected, by doing weird shit with giratina. Probably a ghost pokemon could sense that, especially since giratina is a ghost too. I feel like Hisuian zoruas would probably be pretty sensitive to sensing malice in other people too, and I'm sure Volo has a lot of it tucked away. I feel like Ingo would probably hold more of a grudge against giratina anyway, since that was what took him, rather than arceus who stole the protag

the last part is the question! since i do generally think that it was giratina's intervention that brought ingo to hisui, BUT i've also seen some ppl propose that he was an initial attempt at arceus summoning a champion that it fucked up even worse than the protag's, which i think is also a fun idea, and since he obviously has no idea which one it is in canon i feel like you could go either way here.

so like, if it were giratina's doing, he'd totally be targeting volo (and i think also trying to cure the nobles of frenzy alongside the protag, since it's also giratina's influence and he hates to see anything unwillingly touched by it). CONVERSELY, if he was killed by arceus, he'd more likely be after the nobles in general, and either he'd be also targeting the protag or he'd be sympathizing with them and trying to free them from arceus' grip. any and all options are fun imo lol

[nell0-0]

in the subway boss irida au i need to see her freakout because of a zoura/zoroark and the subway twins be so confused over her reaction

Stopping Ingo from approaching a Zoroark was just instinctive for Irida, oop-

[nartothelar]

you should do a submas fic rec post o7

Ooo good idea! Here's a few fics I adore to pieces and have reread more than a few times:

we'll build a bridge (An incomplete collection of unconnected one shots)

Summary: The only constant is this: they find each other. The how might change, but the why doesn’t, and the why is what matters, here. (The why is this: one never stops searching, and one never stops hoping.)

(Made me cry multiple times. Happy endings and heartfelt reunions: it's got everything you need to feel good inside. My favorite chaoters are 3 and 8)

Ounce of Prevention (incomplete)

Summary: If one suspects strangers of causing the apocalypse, one generally should not allow them to continue to roam free. They should ideally be restrained until their innocence (or guilt) can be proven. Even if one of them is a child and openly sobbing at the thought of her only family hating her. Even if the other one's absence is probably going to be noticed by a very large, very dangerous Pokémon.

Elsewhere, the rift spits out a man in white. He's not her Warden, but Sneasler will take all the help she can get in finding him.

(ABSOLUTELY INSANELY GOOD like this is one of my favorite submas fics. Just thrilling and had be binge it in a frenzy. Awesome action scenes, cool plot, and badass Emmet, like seriously Emmet's characterization here is god tier and I think about it constantly. I actually drew a comic based on a scene from this fic here. )

In Tandem (Incomplete)

Summary: Or in which Arceus calls upon two pairs of twins to stop two doomsday plots simultaneously.

Ingo and Emmet are summoned to two different Jubilifes, to two different teenagers to aid them in their seemingly innocent journeys for reasons they do not fully understand. Dark machinations are at work though, and if everyone wants to get home safe at the end of the day it will take every ounce of strength, conviction and courage to brave the trials set before them.

(A verrrry good story: good plot (like you'll get invested), good action, good pacing, and good characterization! I haven't read many fics with Lucas and Dawn and this ones just amazing. I wait patiently for its updates)

The Hand (Complete)

Summary: It was something Ingo always wondered about.

(Unexpected premise but I really like it for some reason and have reread it multiple times)

Give Not Into Sorrow (Complete)

Summary: Something strange is going on in Hisui. There are reports of a man in white roaming the wildlands while leading a pack of Pokemon . Some say they're a mix of Pokemon, some claim they're a pack of zoroarks. Some swear that the man is none other than the amnesiac warden of the Pearl Clan. One thing is certain. Those who meet the man in white all report the same thing: He is looking for his brother. And he will not rest until he finds him.

(Absolutely beautiful and heart wrenching. Deal with grief, with anger and with holding on and letting go. Drew a comic for this just yesterday too)

Conductor of Stone (Completed)

Summary: Ingo was not alone when he woke up in the region of Hisui.

There was a man next to him who shared his face. With a body as cold as ice.

Who are you?

A Land of the Lustrous au! Cool concept and excellent writing that sucks you in. This is actually part of a series which is also very good. The author, PerpetuallySleepy, is a favorite of mine too and they have a bunch of other ones shot fics I recommend checking out!

Intermittent Retention (Complete)

Summary: In theory, the space-time distortions should not overly effect Ingo's daily routine. They certainly wouldn't, if he could remember what happens after he steps inside of them. Even that could be overlooked, reluctantly, if Ingo weren't overwhelmingly drawn to them despite their amnesia-inducing properties. Or if anyone else had this problem. Something happens to Ingo when time and space break down around him, something that leaves him with fierce joy and crippling grief he cannot find a source for, and he's going to figure out what in the world is going on.

(Sweet and sad and beautiful.)

Diamond Crossing (Complete)

Summary: So, here’s the thing. Elesa’s best friend is a little…weird.

She means it in the nicest way possible. But there’s no getting around the fact that Coop is weird.

Their mood swings are all over the place, very serious at one moment and unhinged child at the next. They sprouted train facts at the drop of the hat, insisted on not only being in charge of Gear Station but taking it a step further and turning Gear Station into the Battle Subway. They’re honestly crazy for that alone.

Elesa does her modeling career on top of being a Gym Leader and a lot of people think she’s crazy. She will argue that it’s nothing compared to Coop running the entire transportation system for Nimbasa City on top of being a Battle Facility.

She adores Coop though. She really means it when she says Coop is her best friend. And no matter how crazy Coop comes across as, she knows Coop won't hurt anyone.

("Well, there are exceptions, of course," Coop says, tone serious and expression set to a frown. "We don’t allow unruly passengers for starters." They then smiled, brightening. "And anyone who makes Elesa cry will be tied to the train track and run over." )

(A super interesting concept and I love fusion aus! It's actually part of a series that are loosely connected together. Fun times galore)

Emmet wasn't scared (Complete)

Summary:

Emmet knew his brother will be alright since they were fourteen.

Or: Emmet wasn't scared when his brother went missing. He already knew he would

(Short and haunting)

Hisui AU with the SwSh Twins

I should reblog some of the Sordward Hisui AU stuff back from my old blog.

There might be a few things that I changed regarding it, but the concept is simple; instead of Ingo, it's Sordward that traveled to Hisui.

I've also seen people bring Emmet into Hisui (either for comfort or angst reasons), so I did the same with Shielbert if this was the case.

By all means, the ORIGINAL concept is just Sordward alone. Shielbert is just another AU altogether.

I even made a design (or redesign, I didn't keep an eye on my original reference and went by memory) for them a while back.

I'm share some headcanons below. Note that some things may have changed.

Sordward

TEAM

Rapidash, ♂, Fire, Level 60

Scizor, ♂, Bug/Steel, Level 64

Weavile, ♀, Dark/Ice, Level 63

Gallade, ♂, Psychic/Fighting, Level 65

Kleavor, ♂, Bug/Rock, Level 64

Lilligant, ♀, Grass/Fighting, Level 65

Warden of SNEASLER

Once fallen and getting amnesia, he has joined the Survey Corps of the Galaxy Team. With the exception of passing through a trial, which he failed and is now left to die in the wild.

He only had Ponyta in his hands at the time. But he was later found by the Pearl Clan and became Sneasler's warden. Somehow-

I always headcanon Sneasler to get attached to anything weird. Or like anything weird, and Sordward is definitely on the list based on his name, appearance, and behavior. If she can like Ingo, who talks about trains when it wasn't a thing, so will she like a man with sword hair.

He behaves very aggressively towards anyone in the Galaxy Corp. Mostly for leaving him to die. But he once becomes nicer to the player once he helps them, reluctantly. He only grew to like the player once he realized they're in the same boat.

This mentally boosted (his liking of the player and hatred for Galaxy Corp.) the second Galaxy Corp. kicked the player out for allegedly being the cause of the sky being red.

Additional information: while he doesn't work for Galaxy Corp., the player may also battle him (a similar way to how Ingo does it). But he's also someone that nurses Pokemon back to health. He's not a full-blown nurse with the degree and all, but he does help Pokemon when they're injured. He loves Pokemon and does care about them, more than regular humans.

Shielbert

TEAM

Floatzel, ♂, Water, Level 64

Bronzong, genderless, Steel/Psychic, Level 65

Ninetales, ♀, Fire, Level 62

Froslass, ♀, Ice/Ghost, Level 63

Gardevoir, ♀, Psychic/Fairy, Level 60

Bastiodon, ♂, Rock/Steel, Level 65

Warden of ZOROARK

This is an alternate timeline with Shielbert being in Hisui as well. Where his desperation to find his older brother led him to this path.

He arrives with his memories wiped also. Catching and being friendly with a Buizel. Meaning that's their first Pokemon on their adventure. He joins the Diamond Clan and is the warden of Zoroark.

He remains on Alabaster Icelands forever though. Mostly because he's lost in the icy mountains and caves. And the illusions from the wild Zoruas. Call it torture if you want; they don't physically hurt him, just do psychological and emotional damage.

He doesn't hold a grudge against the Pearl Clan or Galaxy Corp. But he can still behave aggressively regarding his own personal situation. So if someone were to find him, he'll act aggressively until he's convinced he's actually talking to a person and not an imagination or a wild Zorua.

He doesn't do much for the player or the story. He just may be a case where the player tries to help him become in a better state of mind and have a proper footing. People may keep a distance from him for many reasons (mostly because he's the warden of Zoroark), but people are soon more open to him. But he's still a bit of a loner.

Additional information: his blindfold comes from an injury caused by Zoroark in their first encounter. Zoroark attacked him, leaving a scar on his eye and potentially blinding him. He wears a blindfold to cover that because he's ashamed of having something that damages his looks.

I'm not much into trainwreckshipping but the way you write/draw it is verrrry interesting. It's leading up to Emmet having two choices: Volo or Ingo. And at this point it's not clear who he would pick.

With Ingo, considering his amnesia and all of that, also has two choices: the smiling man in white who looks like him... or Emmet. Because Ingo only has scattered reflections of the Before. He does not know the current Emmet.

Did any Hisuian Zoroarks haunt Ingo? I know it's a popular headcanon and I was just wondering what your Emmet's reaction would be that piece of trauma. He's finally found his brother after all these years and yet Ingo's first response to him is fear. Of course it's not due to Emmet but it would make him doubt himself. Maybe... Volo is right about him being dangerous to everyone he loves.

TRUE TRUE TRUE

id say ingo has definitely had some close calls with hisuian zoroarks ...

lured in by distorted visions of his twin brother only to be mauled violently once close enough 💔

i never really thought about how this would carry onto the present day though ...

i cant say much for when they first reunited again in my au due to spoilers but no, it was not messy; ingo was prepared

but his traumas definitely show whenever ingo wakes from a nightmare ... i can imagine how difficult it is to relax and drop your guard after living in a place like hisui

then this white shape approaches you and tries to comfort you but you cant process anything with the alarms going on in your head 💔💔 emmet probably struggled to ground his brother ... especially when he doesnt know what it was even about

that last statement though 😭😭😭 volos chokehold on emmets mental wellbeing is insane 💔💔 goodness gracious

he wouldnt show it

not around his brother

the last thing he'd want is to make things about himself ... but there are definitely doubts that still plague him

thank you so much for this ask!! i absolutely enjoyed reading this ... im happy that ppl are giving trainwreckshipping a chance because of my stupid comics 💙

[somegrumpynerd]

What pokemon do you think the sanses would have?

OKAY SO

(This is so long I'm so sorry, readmore for sanity)

Because I’m utterly insane, I’ve split this into 2 categories because I have different thoughts for both, but the first one is what you’ve actually asked which is what pokemon they would have if they were in some kinda pokemon trainer au. (I’m not gonna do them whole entire teams cause that would make this even longer, I’m just gonna give one or two)

For Nightmare I could see him gravitating to poison or dark types, because y’know, that’s on brand for him and he needs to be scary lol Something like muk would be a good fit with his goopiness, but what I find fascinating is that there’s a legendary pokemon that fits him like scarily well and that’s darkrai. It’s a mythical pokemon known for causing never-ending nightmares and it feeds off of them, and it also has a counterpart that helps ward off the nightmares and keep it in check. AND it’s design only has one eye showing and the shiny colours make that eye cyan. So like, that would be a perfect fit for him lol

I also think he would have a noctowl just because it scares Dream

Dream I feel like would be very grass or bug type, like he was raised in nature and I feel like he would still want that around. Especially since a lot of grass types know healing moves, it seems like that would be his kinda vibe in picking up after Nightmare’s damage. Maybe something like cherrim since that reacts to the sun or even sawsbuck since it’s also kinda tree-adjacent. And he would also be perfect to get cresselia, which is the counterpart to darkrai! It doesn’t really fit him as closely in design as darkrai does for Nightmare but it basically lives near darkrai to keep an eye on it and shows up after it’s been somewhere to help ward off the nightmares and bring people good dreams, so it’s weirdly them-coded lol (They're literally called the lunar duo)

As for the others, -Killer has a liepard to me. They’re a big majestic cat that loves to sneak up on people to steal or attack, it’s perfect for him. Also possibly a weavile would be good since they’re very quick and slashy. -I think hisuian zoroark fits Dust really well, since it’s whole situation is about dying and coming back to life out of spite and killing everything and driving others insane, it feels like it would slot into his situation nicely. -I feel like greedent would be good for Horror, maybe moreso once he’s out of his au, since they love to gather food and store it in their tails. It would probably be kinda comforting to basically have a snack buddy with you at all times. -Cross is never escaping the dog influences on his character so he gets a mightyena or maybe a mabosstiff, they’re very well trained in battle and also he loves them more than life itself he would do anything for them. -I love associating Ink with ferrets now so he gets furret, they can both hunch over together while he’s drawing lol but also maybe a grafaiai for him? They like making graffiti and colouring in the trees in the area they live in which feels like a good fit for him.

Now. Here’s where I go truly insane lol I have different answers for if you’re asking what pokemon would they be, like if this was an au where everybody is turned into a pokemon.

Nightmare and Dream are complicated because like.

There’s a pokemon called malamar which is a big evil squid that uses dark magic and one of the pokedex entries says it was even involved in history-changing events. That’s completely Nightmare right?

And there’s a pokemon called decidueye which is a big grass type owl (which I love to call back to your furry Dream) that wears a cloak/cape and shoots arrows at people. That’s totally Dream!

I feel like those two are great fits for them but the problem is if they’re two completely different pokemon they can’t be twins, so I have an alternative suggestion which is to make both of them eevees, which eventually evolve into espeon (Dream) and umbreon (Nightmare). The way to evolve eevee into those two is friendship, so it would possibly have to take place during a truce to make it the most meaningful but I think it would be cool.

Anyway, Killer is houndoom coded to me. I don’t know why, there’s just something about him that my brain cannot disconnect from this hellhound. He takes orders and he has red prominent in the colour scheme. Also the pokedex says if you get burned by a houndoom the pain is with you forever and I bet Killer would love to have that effect lol

I know people hate the rabbit association for Dust but just hear me out. Raboot is very him. It looks annoyed all the time, it has a little pocket to shove it’s hands in like his hoodie and it’s got red fur around the bottom of it’s face like the scarf he wears.

Obvious choice is a bear pokemon for Horror because everybody does that, and I could definitely see him as ursaluna with the big intimidating energy, but for some reason I get a real vibe of tyranitar about him. Just like with Killer it’s based on absolutely nothing, but I can really picture him as this big towering dinosaur with some spikes missing on one side of his head

Again, I want to make Cross lycanroc because big fierce loyal puppy with a limited colour palette, but y’know what I think is a great fit for him? Absol. It’s black and white and it has red eyes and it’s wrongly blamed for things it didn’t do so it lives in isolation, plus the mega evolution gets wings which just feel like they fit him (looking at dragon furry Cross not gonna lie lol)

They literally have an Ink pokemon and it’s smeargle. He’s a little artist who uses his tail as a paintbrush and can change the colour of the paint coming from it, they also can steal any move from other pokemon mid-battle which feels like something Ink would do lol

Anyway I need to spend the next 16 hours drawing pokesonas for skeletons now thank you <3

[raynavan]

it is finally here!! the winners of the @ultimate-submas-tournament first round!! this is. verrry long as I have a bit of (lighthearted!!) commentary on the winners. said commentary is not meant to be offensive, but i just poke fun at the Au's in the running. of course- i highly suggest checking some of them out! all the polls (and therefore the au's in that poll) are linked in the first word of the message beow it. and with that, doodles under the cut.

the Ingo Bracket!

behold the subway boss Ingo! taking down statues! ah... but aren't gargoyles supposed to ward off evil spirits..?

eh, im sure it fine! nothing quite like an never ending cycle ammirite?

dad instincts activated. it was super effective (thank goodness another ghost was there, its pretty hard to punch them) ((though ah... perhaps a bad idea to beat up your dead self..?))

The Actual hero of courage!! purging the land of all poison! even his alternate's poison!!

man actively bleeding out beats up fox man, more at 11.

T-posing (the "T" stands for table) ((joke was made by @/thesilverinfinity thank you!!))

fire beats electricity!! villains for the win!!!

a... fae. a fairy type. destroyed by a... prince that commands (used to command) a dragon... perhaps there is a reason fae Ingo hides in the human world...

who was going to tell him that LTOT ingo isn't even a pokemon technically

bro respawn already you leaks are leaking everywhere- at least the Woodsman can continue his never ending task of gathering oil!

oh right... kid kinda... had the favor of a few gods... good luck ingo!

oh uh... i suppose even lord zoroark isn't immune to pets... (hope warden Akari doesn't find out-)

ooh... probably should have checked you type advantages buddy... at least wormgo knows we all love him even if he's a worm <3

The Emmet Bracket!

the power of sweaters

one might be the eye avatar after looking for answers, the true detective turned out on top!

tfw your just a train conductor in the far past with trauma (and brain trauma) and you get beaten up by another you that is friends with a god.

GET 'EM WITH THE LASER EYES (that you definitely have) (hope grovyle doesn't find you)

beach vacation in the past beats present Unova any day. (unless the Pelipper are looking for a snack)

jellyfish stings!! not even Gift's wonderful cosplay of his bother as enough to avoid the beast's wrath... no respect for cosplayers these days...

even though normally Ingo is the one to deal with unruly passengers, it easy to forget that robot Emmet has tasers for hands... o7 host emmet.

mans under the effects of CST (Chad stasis Twin effect) he is currently unbeatable.

wow the plushy has some power! uh... what do you have there Emmie..? why are you... looking at me like that...

air tight suites will not protect you from toons. take note. (though im sure he'd be pretty helpful with those hoards of monsters!)

congratulations! don't worry about the blurry Emmet, im sure he wasn't protecting anyone or anything, haha!

good job Emmet! you beat someone in a hospital bed! /lh

that's the last of it (no i am Not doing bracket 13 i Cannot draw them all differently hgeirpohgnolp) wonderful job everyone! i definitely heard of some new Au's that i have greatly enjoyed! im verrry excited to see where this competition continues!

bravo to everyone moving on to the next round, and for all those who didn't, thank you for sharing your Aus!! here's to another fun round, and also to the amazing aus and stories everyone here has created!!

SUPER BRAVO!!
