Fankids With Gold/Silver Demo Pokemon: Noelle & Draco

· Leave a comment ·

Noelle and Cruz/Aqua/Aquaria

image

Being from another world where the demo pokemon are canon, Noelle is familiar with a different pokedex than everyone else. For the most part, the pokemon she knows are the same as what’s found in her current world, but there are a few that are different. In her homeworld, as the demo starters were canon, trainers who wanted to pick a Water-type starter from Professor Elm would receive a Cruz instead of a Totodile. For Noelle however, her Cruz was actually her fourth pokemon. She already had a Dratini from Lance and two Charmander siblings from Liza, but she also wanted to “do things properly” when she set out on her journey and pick one of the traditional Johto starters as well.

Arriving at the Newbark Lab, Noelle knew that she wanted either Chikorita or Cruz. She already had two Fire-types on her team and was planning on following in her father’s footsteps to train Dragon-types and similar pokemon. Meganium and Aquaria both resemble reptiles or dragons of a sort, so either one would be a good addition to the three pokemon she already had. In fact, she found that she was having quite a bit of trouble deciding which one she actually wanted. Both were so cute, and would grow up to be so strong… she couldn’t choose! Luckily, she didn’t have to. Cruz, getting impatient at how long this prospective trainer was deliberating, decided to show off her strength by leaping off the table and picking a fight with Noelle’s Dratini, who had been minding his one business at his trainer’s side. Once the fight was broken up, Noelle couldn’t help but be impressed at Cruz’s boldness, so she was confident in choosing the Water-type to bring with her.

Years later, when Noelle Falls, Cruz, now fully evolved into Aquaria, comes with her along with the rest of Noelle’s pokemon. Once Noelle is taken in by Interpol, there’s a bit of fuss over Aquaria since, while they have encountered various strange pokemon that came from other worlds, Aquaria is the first of her kind recorded. Noelle is a bit nervous to let these guys study her partner, but once she’s assured she can be there the whole time – and probably should be since she knows Aquaria better than any of the scientists at this point – she agrees to let them take some observations and tell them what she knows about Aquaria’s biology and the like. Interpol has a list of other-world pokemon that is sent out to the various Leagues so Noelle doesn’t have to worry about getting questioned for having such an unusual pokemon, but they still get plenty of stares in public. Aquaria on her part, loves the attention, preening at the fact she’s considered rare and special, the only one of her kind to exist here. Noelle finds her pokemon’s attitude pretty amusing and will answer any questions people may have about her, always happy to show off her beloved pokemon.

Draco and Kingdra

While Noelle having a pokemon from another world makes perfect sense, somehow all of Ethan’s other children end up with them as well. Whether this is merely coincidence or some kind of cosmic conspiracy is a well-debated subject in the family. In Draco’s case, it’s his Kingdra that turns out to be from another world, though he has no idea of this until he evolves and grows arms and small wings. Draco initially panics, wondering if somehow he interfered while Seadra was evolving and that messed things up, but once he calms down a bit and tries to think through what could have happened, he remembers that Ethan has a strange Tangrowth-like pokemon that supposedly evolved from a normal Tangela. At this point, Draco is a sullen teenager who currently despises his father for a variety of mostly petty reasons, so he immediately blames Ethan and Gela for what happened to Kingdra. Somehow, Gela must have corrupted Seadra or something since they did always like playing with each other.

Draco storms home to confront his father, but before he can do so, he runs into Noelle, who’s visiting home during a break from work. When she sees her little brother’s Kingdra, she exclaims that it looks just like the Kingdra did back in her original world and is shocked when Draco explains that this is what his Seadra evolved to look like. Later on, after dinner, the whole family sits down to try and figure out just how exactly this whole ordeal came to pass. After some debate, it’s Ethan who supplies the most likely answer, recalling how Draco first met his Horsea. When Draco was just a wee child of 7, he was quite jealous of how his cousin Arethusa had a Horsea and he did not. He wanted one of his own and begged and begged his parents to take him to Kanto so he could catch one. After all, Arethusa had gotten her Horsea from Clair, so if Draco could catch his own, he’d prove that he was better than her. Eventually, they relent, and Ethan and Draco head out to Route 12 for a day trip that weekend, ready to do some fishing.

It turns out that Horsea are fairly rare, however, so the trip ends up entailing quite a bit of sitting and waiting around. For Draco, it’s incredibly frustrating and boring. They’ve tried fishing, placing food in the water to lure pokemon, they even borrowed a nearby fisher’s Starmie that knew Surf to head out onto the water to search, but to no avail. The only pokemon they’ve found are the usual Magikarp and Tentacool. Just as Draco is beginning to give up hope, he notices a nearby commotion. Gela, who had been sitting on the edge of the dock splashing water with her tentacles seems to be interacting with another pokemon. Draco looks for his father, but Ethan is busy talking to a fisherman, so he heads over by himself. Lo and behold, Gela is playing with a Horsea! Draco can scarcely believe his luck as he fumbles for one of the pokeballs Ethan gave him and tries to carefully approach the pair. Horsea notices the incoming boy and beings to dart away, scared off from his new playmate by the approaching human, but pauses when he hears Draco’s desperate cries for him to come back, “Please! Please don’t go! I really want to be your friend!” Moved by this human’s sincerity, Horsea turns around and slowly approaches the docks again, as Draco himself is doing his best puppy-dog eyes in the hopes that Horsea will know just how much he wants to befriend him. Horsea glances at Gela, who nods encouragingly, then slowly approaches Draco’s outstretched hand and bumps against the pokeball, successfully being caught. Draco runs back to Ethan with his new pokemon, babbling excitedly about how he succeeded, and the two return home triumphant, Draco getting to ride on his father’s shoulders, pokeball in one hand and the ice cream cone Ethan bought him as a special treat in the other.

After recounting those fond memories of simpler, pre-sullen teen times, Ethan concludes that Horsea must have recognized Gela as being a pokemon from his own homeworld and approached her as a result. Draco has to admit that that explanation makes the most sense, but… on the one hand, he doesn’t want to acknowledge that Ethan was right about something so is grumpy, while on the other hand, this does prove that Seadra evolving into an odd Kingdra was Ethan’s fault after all so he wants to be smug… in the end he just mumbles something incoherent and sulks out of the room, though deep down he’s quite pleased to have such a rare and unique pokemon. Down the line, once the grumpy teen years are over and Draco is admitting he loves his father again, he does thank Ethan for being the reason he and Kingdra ultimately got to meet, and apologizes for blaming him for “breaking” Kingdra and thinking that Ethan’s Gelanla was weird, as his pokemon is perfect the way he is, just like Gela.

Characters with Gold/Silver Demo Pokemon: Ethan

· Leave a comment ·

It’s been a year and I’m late to the bandwagon as usual but I decided that I really like these beta pokemon so I changed up a few teams. The origins of these unusual pokemon vary so I’ll be posting about how each character met their strange little friends.

Ethan and Tangel/Gelanla

image

The first beta pokemon I decided to add was this funky little fellow. I was reworking Ethan’s team and gave him a Tangela since he mentions having one in HGSS. Then I got to thinking about how my Ethan is a bit… odd and has a knack for bonding with pokemon (even if he doesn’t catch many) and decided that having this alternate Tangela line would suit him very well. 

Tangel was Ethan’s second pokemon, after his Marill. They met when Ethan was around 6 years old and he was visiting his grandparents, the Daycare Couple, with his father. While he usually loved playing with all the pokemon at the daycare, today Ethan wanted to go exploring a bit. His father let him run off down Route 34, knowing Ethan had Marill to look out for him and telling him not to go further than the edge of Ilex Forest. Ethan happily runs off, exploring the tall grass, chatting with passing trainers, and eventually reached the edge of the woods.

Now, Ethan knew he wasn’t supposed to go in, but he really wanted to see what other kinds of pokemon might be living there. Surely, a little peek wouldn’t hurt? He wouldn’t go far and Marill was right there with him, so he’d definitely be fine. His mind set, Ethan carefully makes his way deeper into the forest and while he initially makes sure to keep the edge of the woods in sight, eventually he wanders a bit too far and finds that he no longer knows which way is the way out. At first, he doesn’t want to panic, he’s only a little bit lost, so surely if he just picks a direction and walks he’ll find his way out. He also decides that Marill has a better nose than him, so he surely can smell the right way home. So, Ethan asks Marill which way to go and little Marill, also quite lost but not wanting to disappoint his trainer, picks a direction that feels right and the two set out.

After about half an hour of walking, the trees are still as thick as ever and Ethan is starting to get scared. What if they never make it out and become forest spirits? He’s heard stories about children who get lost in the woods and turn into ghost trees… Just as he’s starting to really panic, the trees clear and he and Marill find themselves on the edge of a vernal pool. It seems Marill’s nose led them in the direction of the nearest body of water rather than out of the woods. At this point, Ethan breaks down for real. He’s never getting home, is he? He’ll be lost in the woods forever and ever. As he’s sitting at the edge of the pond crying, Marill doing his best to comfort him but on the verge of tears himself, they hear a rustling in the bushes and Ethan looks up just in time to come face to face with a little pokemon that looks like a small, less vine-y Tangela. The Tangel seems shocked to see a human so deep into the woods and scurries back into the bushes almost immediately. Ethan’s not quite sure what he just saw, but then realizes that even the local pokemon are running away from him and he’s all alone and just starts crying again.

Tangel, now feeling a bit braver after seeing how small this human is, and that they’re with another pokemon, decides to try going back to the pool to investigate, being quite the curious pokemon. When she emerges again to find Ethan in tears, she’s a bit confused by what’s going on and approaches him, concerned. Ethan is still a bit too upset to notice the Tangel much but Marill decides to ask the little pokemon for help, communicating that he and Ethan are lost and need to find their way out of the woods. Tangel, wanting to be helpful and also still very curious about this first ever human she’s seen, tugs on Ethan’s sleeve to get him to get him to notice her, then runs a little way into the woods, gesturing to him and Marill to follow. Ethan quickly wipes his tears then gets up to follow Tangel, not really worrying if she actually knows the way or not, since this is at least a chance. After a while of following Tangel through the trees, eventually light begins to break through and the trio find themselves near Azalea. Tangel is quite pleased to have guided this human out of the forest but poor Ethan realizes this is the wrong side of the woods and begins tearing up again, causing Tangel to hop up on his shoulders in concern, emboldened by her little adventure.

Ethan and the two pokemon are eventually found by Kurt, who brings them to the Pokemon Center, Tangel now tucked into Ethan’s shirt and peering out his collar while Marill is being carried. Once they’re at the center, the nurses give Ethan a checkup while calling his father to tell him that his son’s safe and sound. When Nurse Joy asks to see Ethan’s Tangela, she’s in quite a shock when he pulls out… not a Tangela. When she asks Ethan where he met such an odd little pokemon, he looks up at her in confusion “She’s not weird, she’s just a baby Tangela! Don’t be mean!” and then refuses to part with Tangel since the grownups were “being mean to her”. This continues even when Zack comes to pick Ethan up and in the end, Tangel just ends up going home with them. Ethan remains convinced that Tangel, who he names “Gela”, is just a baby Tangela for a long time, especially when she evolves into one, despite actually seeing Tangela and not Tangel hatch from eggs at the daycare. Even when Gela evolves into Gelanla and not Tangrowth when he’s a teenager… nope, still a normal Tangela you all are just being mean. So what if she’s a little different? Don’t call her weird you’re hurting her feelings! 

Gela on her part loves her new life with Ethan and happily plays with Marill and eventually the other pokemon Ethan catches, though she remains closest with Marill, the two even evolving into Azumarill and Gelanla together. People often double take when they see her and realize she’s not just a … small Tangrowth, but neither she nor Ethan care. She’s perfect just the way she is. It’s only years and years later when he meets Faller Noelle for the first time that Ethan finds out his friend might actually be from another world like her. Noelle’s world is one where those beta pokemon are common and she’s very surprised that her sort-of step-father has a Gelanla when she was sure they don’t exist in this world. Gelanla herself hadn’t even realized she was in a different world! Ethan’s quite happy with this explanation after years of people assuming Gelanla was some kind of mutant. He was right all along that she was perfect and not broken. Not to mention, at this point Ethan had learned that he and his father came from another world themselves, so in a way, he and Gela are kindred souls.

If you still accept the 10 facts request… What about Anise?!

· Leave a comment ·

10 Facts About Anise von Schwan

  1. She was a surprise. Prior to Korrina becoming pregnant with her, she and Chili had had a more casual relationship, closer to “rivals with benefits” than anything. But, once they had a baby on the way, they decided to try and be a more proper couple for their baby’s sake. Chili and Korrina basically have a shotgun wedding before Anise is born, much to the amusement of Cilan and Cress and the exasperation of Siebold. It was a whirlwind romance but they’re still happily married to this day. Anise likes to brag about how she helped her parents “get a move on and get married already”.
  2. When she was a child, Anise got some teasing about being fairly short for her age (though she grew to be slightly above average height later on), so in order to “fight the haters” developed an aggressive personality, literally jumping on other kids who made fun of her for any reason.
  3. Anise first discovered roller derby at school. Her gym class had a roller skating unit and when her gym teacher saw how enthusiastic and… aggressive she was about skating, she recommended Anise look into roller derby. Anise had learned to skate from Korrina and enjoyed it, but a contact sport for roller blading?! This is the perfect sport for her.
  4.  Rather than pick her starter in Kalos, Anise instead met her starter, Tepig, while on a trip to Unova. Her family ran into Professor Juniper unexpectedly while visiting other former Plasma members in Driftveil. Aurea was in the city since some starting trainers wanted to pick one of the classic Unova starters, but in the face of a very enthusiastic teen making her decision, the timid Tepig ended up running away, straight into Anise who was wandering around the city. It was love at first sight and Anise ended up taking Tepig home with her (the other newbie trainer found her own partner, don’t worry!)
  5. Anise loves spicy food and will put hot sauce on almost anything she eats. She’s actually started carrying a couple small bottles of hot sauce in her bag to bring out during mealtimes.
  6. Anise argues a lot with her older brother, Ginger, but at the same time he’s also her partner in crime, doing all sorts of dangerous things with her that their parents (well, more Korrina than Chili) might frown upon. A favorite game is Ginger, who is very tall, picking up Anise by her legs and swinging her around in circles until they both get dizzy and fall over.
  7. Anise initially travels on her journey with Cassia, who decided to start her adventure in Kalos since she liked the region after going there on vacation and wanted to travel somewhere different than her usual haunts of Sinnoh and Johto. After they part ways, however, Anise decides to travel in Unova, wanting her starter to see the region she was born in, while Cassia wants to go back to Sinnoh to further her studies in her Junior Research program. Thus, Anise decides to travel with family friend Cyril, who is three years younger and also wanted to head to Unova after travelling through Kalos. It’s during these travels that she meets Aster, her eventual boyfriend.
  8. When Cyril goes missing in Unova, Anise stays in the region, teaming up with her brother to try and find out what happened to him, however when this doesn’t come to anything, she ends up going back home and returning to her derby team. When Cyril finally is found and brought home years later, Anise makes sure to visit him and keep him company since he’s not up to leaving the house as much.
  9. Anise is the reason Verbena wears pigtails. She was determined to match with her cousin and would do Verbena’s hair every time they saw each other to the point Verbena just wears that hairstyle as default now.
  10. One of Anise’s dreams is to open up the Striation Gym again alongside her cousins Verbena and Rosemary. She bothers the two of them constantly about working on their plans, but she’s determined that the three of them can make their dream a reality.

Name Meanings Doc

I should probably share this too so … here’s my own Name Meanings Doc! It’s not very far along at all and will take a while because I have a bajillion fankids. But almost all of them have meaningful names. And I will probably change some names as I work on this and decide I want so and so to have a different name after all. A fun time for all. Drop by sometime and watch me work! Or not. I’ll update it when I remember to. 

Myrtle

· Leave a comment ·

As promised, Myrtle’s origin story, or: How Colress Bullied Faba Into Adopting a Faller Child.

The meta origin story for Myrtle came after I made my fankid Ginger, and my friend @pkmnomegaverse commented that now there was a Ghetsis/Chili fankid to go along with her Ghetsis/Cress one, so all we needed to complete the trio was a Ghetsis/Cilan kid. Being myself, I sort of jokingly made Myrtle in order to fulfill that, with the idea being she existed in an AU where Ghetsis won, but ended up getting attached to her enough I wanted to use her in the main L&L verse and story as well. Obviously she couldn’t exist naturally in that world, so I got the idea of her being a Faller. And then as I was playing through the Rainbow Rocket storyline in Ultra Moon… it all came together.

Myrtle comes from the same world as the Ghetsis from the RR story, though after he’s forcibly returned from whence he came by Colress. Ghetsis decides he wants a new generation of competent ninja bodyguards so… Myrtle, Ginger, and another new kid called Perilla serve that purpose. Perilla’s not super important though. Rather than be interested in the job she was meant to be raised for, Myrtle ends up being more inclined to the sciences instead, often following around her world’s Colress and watching his experiments. Due to Ghetsis’s little adventure in another world, he assigns Colress the task of studying ways to get to other universes to expand Plasma’s reign. Colress finds the topic interesting so goes along with it. Ultimately however, something goes wrong and young Myrtle, only a small child of 6-7 at this point, ends up falling through a wormhole, landing in the L&L world’s Alola as a Faller. The Colress of this world ends up finding her and is terribly intrigued by this chance to study a Faller firsthand, especially when he finds out where she came from and who she’s related to – it must be “fate” as much as he doesn’t believe in such things.

Colress takes in Myrtle since he finds her interesting, but does develop some fondness for the clever and rather caustic girl, enjoying her company. Perhaps adopting her would be a good route. Make things easier since she seems eager to help him with his work. The only thing standing in his little father-daughter scientist family team plan is his partner, Faba (they’re not married and don’t really label their relationship… but it is a thing.) Faba’s not a fan of kids and probably wouldn’t be too thrilled with Myrtle being around all the time, but Colress is going to prioritize her this time, so Faba really just ends up sucking it up and dealing, since he wants to keep things going with Colress. Over time, he might even start to see Myrtle somewhat fondly himself. Even if she is an annoying brat, she’s smart and has the makings of a good scientist, so not a total loss he guesses, just from a logical standpoint. No affection though. He still hates kids. Myrtle’s just… the exception.

The trio make a rather odd family, but they’re all unconventional people so it suits them just fine. Myrtle continues to work with Colress, and later on her own projects with Aether as she grows up, and while she continues to be rather antisocial and scathing, she’s respected for her skilled work in the field of interdimensional research and serves as an important secondary character in my (tenuous and in development as always) Alola plotline.

Quick and minor update: 
I like the whole professors having tree names thing but realized that Lucas, who becomes the regional professor of Sinnoh after Rowan, did not have a tree name, so obviously I had to amend that. Lucas’s surname is now Hawthorn instead of Muratov! So the other names that changed are: Joseph Muratov-Barnes → Joseph Hawthorn-Barnes, Balthazar Muratov-Barnes → Balthazar Hawthorn-Barnes, Christine & Harrison Muratova → Christine & Harrison Hawthorn, Chelsea Muratova → Chelsea Hawthorn

So, what happened to Sorrel relationship with everyone?

· Leave a comment ·

Ah yes, another drama-filled subplot I added because I decided more drama would be fun. This one actually originated because I got the idea of Alder being someone’s sugar daddy stuck in my head and it wouldn’t leave because the idea was so amusing to me. Mainly since Alder’s daughter, Kino, has been trying to set her dad up with people for a while now, so the idea of him finding someone to date but it turns out to be someone less than half his age to Kino’s shock would be priceless. (”That’s not what I meant, dad!!”) Actually finding someone who I thought would suit this role was… more difficult. Some jokes about causing family drama with another character just to fulfill this idea later and… here we are. Under a cut again since I know it’ll get long.

Here’s how things went down. The basis for Sorrel and Verity’s marriage wasn’t exactly great to start out. Verity desperately wanted to have a family and be a good mother in the ways her own mother wasn’t. She wanted a kid, but didn’t want to be a single mother, so she ends up dating her close friend and eventually marrying him. Verity doesn’t really have romantic feelings for Sorrel, but she likes him and thinks he’d be a good dad so that was all she needed to decide he’d be the ideal husband for her little “happy perfect family” plan. Someone she gets along with and, perhaps, understands her motivations since he, too, comes from a not-so-perfect household.

Sorrel, on the other hand, desperately craves true love. His parents were very distant with him as he grew up and what he most desired from a relationship was not a perfect family or anything, but just to find someone who he loved and who loved him in return. He wanted validation and support more than anything. So, when his close friend Verity asks him out, he thinks this might be it. He likes her, she’s cute and funny and fun to be around, and if she likes him then maybe this is his chance for that elusive “true love”. Of course, since both of the couple went into the relationship wanting different things and not communicating to the other their true motivations… it was bound to fall apart eventually.

After only a couple years of marriage, Sorrel and Verity end up having a huge argument where the motivations each had for going into this relationship are revealed. Sorrel especially feels betrayed that Verity never loved him the same way he loved her, while Verity wishes that Sorrel had told her from the start that he wanted something more than just a comfortable and stable family. The two grow pretty estranged after this, though they stay together for the sake of their baby son, Silas. It’s around this time, when Sorrel is purposefully taking more and more research trips abroad, that he meets Alder and the two end up in a relationship. Alder likes spoiling younger guys (in no small part since it makes him feel more young again himself, but also since it’s just something nice to do as a retired Champion), while Sorrel is craving validation and someone to just pay attention to him and to want him as more than just a means to an end. So really, the two ending up in a relationship was a bit inevitable from when they first meet. The only issue is… Sorrel never tells Alder he’s technically married, estranged from his wife or not, since Alder would never willingly participate in an affair.

Verity strongly suspects Sorrel is seeing someone else, but she figures that’s what she deserves for deceiving him like that. She feels horrible about how things went, but she doesn’t know what to do about any of this short of divorce.. but that would bring its own problems, like trying to figure out custody with their young son, not to mention she’d just be back at square one of her whole dream to have a happy family. The situation remains in limbo like this for a while, until Sorrel getting unexpectedly pregnant tips things over the edge. Verity knows full well the kid isn’t hers, so … now’s as good a time as any to just sit down and decide once and for all how they want to move forward. Sorrel, meanwhile, is incredibly stressed about the whole situation since, while he does want this baby, what is he even supposed to tell Alder? It was never meant to be a committed relationship, just something to tide him over while he was sorting through his feelings on his failing marriage. In the end, he and Verity get a divorce, splitting custody of Silas, while Sorrel and Alder end up breaking up, Sorrel not wanting Alder to be the focus of a scandal from having a lovechild with a married man. 

Sorrel ends up going back to his parents’ place and tries to figure out what he wants to do from here. He still likes working at Lucas’s lab, and the professor is nothing but supportive, but does he really want to be a single father? His parents end up answering that question for him, however, by deciding that they don’t want their only son to be an unmarried father with children from two different relationships, so begin to ask around their elite social circles to see if any family friends or acquaintances have single children who need a spouse. Sorrel is honestly mortified his parents are resorting to some kind of arranged marriage for him, but he goes along with their plans since he doesn’t really want to be single himself, nor does he have much trust in his own ability to choose a partner, given what happened with his first spouse. 

Ultimately, the person Sorrel ends up getting along with the best of all the “potential matches” his parents arranged is none other than one Lawrence III (yes, the villain from the second movie). Already in his late 30s and unmarried, Lawrence’s parents ended up setting him up to meet with Sorrel so perhaps he can finally settle down and stay out of (more) trouble. And surprise, surprise, the two end up hitting it off. They have similar interests in the sciences (though from different perspectives) and Lawrence doesn’t mind the situation with Sorrel’s kids at all. While there may not be love (just yet), the two get along and agree that a marriage would be agreeable for both of them. A couple months after their engagement is finalized, Sorrel has the affair baby, Cassia, and then he and Lawrence are married. Sorrel still works for Lucas, his new husband not particularly caring what region they end up settling down in. While initially I didn’t plan on Sorrel and Lawrence having any children together, my dear friend @pkmnomegaverse pointed out that I could give them a son named Lawrence IV and how could I resist that? So they have their son Lawrence (or Loren, as he goes by) about three years after they’re married. Despite the rocky start, they’re very happy together!

Verity meanwhile, ends up dating and marrying Risa and the two might have a kid together? I haven’t developed them as much to be sure, since I need to develop other characters from the Power of Us movie to get a better idea of what those two are up to. Silas stays with either his mom and step-mom or his dad and step-dad and likes both sets of parents pretty equally, Sorrel and Lawrence raise a little nerd and possible future professor in Cassia and a trouble-loving, outgoing son in Loren and all in all…. everything works out and everyone’s happy. Since I can’t have it any other way! I’ll do drama and angst but everyone gets a happy ending.
