Silver, Ethan, Brendan, and Hilbert?

Silver
My NOTP for them
None.
My BROTP for them
Silver/Leaf.
My OTP for them
Silver/Lyra (SoulSilverShipping).
My second choice pairing for them
Silver/Ethan (HunterShipping)
My fluffy pairing for them
Though they get a bit of angst in my AU, Silver/Lyra are generally a cute, fluffy couple.
My angsty pairing for them
In the context of my AU, Silver/Ethan or Silver/Leaf (ReturnToStartShipping) would both probably end poorly.
My favorite poly ship for them
Ethan/Silver/Lyra (SamisenShipping).
My weirdest pairing for them
Silver/Leaf.

Ethan
My NOTP for them
None.
My BROTP for them
Ethan/Lyra.
My OTP for them
Ethan/Lance (JohtoChampionShipping)
My second choice pairing for them
Ethan/Whitney (ComfortShipping)
My fluffy pairing for them
Ethan/Whitney, this pairing is way too cute and fluffy…
My angsty pairing for them
Ethan/Silver (HunterShipping), my version of Ethan/Lance has some angst, but this ship would be angstier in the AU mainly since I can’t see Silver being ok with an open relationship like Whitney is so…. drama and angst all around.
My favorite poly ship for them
Whitney/Ethan/Lance, it’s canon in the fankid AU baby~
My weirdest pairing for them
Ethan/Whitney.

Brendan
My NOTP for them
None. But honorable mention to Hilda/Brendan (WhiteHatShipping) since it’s one I’ve seen in the fankid fandom enough and I just don’t really get it. But it’s not what I’d call a NOTP or anything.
My BROTP for them
Brendan/May.
My OTP for them
Brendan/Wally (LoveRivalShipping).
My second choice pairing for them
Brendan/Anabel (SafirShipping)
My fluffy pairing for them
Brendan/Wally
My angsty pairing for them
Unrequited Brendan/May (HoennShipping), mainly since it’s kind of canon in the fankid AU.
My favorite poly ship for them
Brendan/Wally/Anabel (I called it FlouriteShipping, but MirrorRivalShipping works just as well for a ‘portmanteau style’ ship name.)
My weirdest pairing for them

Brendan/Anabel.

Hilbert
My NOTP for them
None, aside from the usual ‘I hc them as related so find the ship weird’ ones of Hilda/Hilbert (ChessShipping), Hilbert/Nate (BlackSquaredShipping), Hilbert/Rosa (ElectricBlackShipping), and Hilbert/Grimsley (BelmontShipping – though that’s a great ship name not gonna lie). I never see any of those aside from ChessShipping though so….
My BROTP for them
Hilbert/Cheren or Hilbert/Bianca, also Hilbert/Nate (though they are cousins in my hc so idk if that counts). And of course, being actual siblings, Hilbert/Hilda twinsies and partners in crime.
My OTP for them
Hilbert/Reshiram (WhiteForestShipping)…. I know…… it’s Dawn all over again….. I do this to myself….
My second choice pairing for them
Hilbert/N (IsshuShipping)
My fluffy pairing for them
Hilbert/Bianca (RebelShipping)
My angsty pairing for them
Hilbert/N, but in the context of Hilbert being N’s rebound after protag!Hilda leaves…. awkward…..
My favorite poly ship for them
Hilbert/N/Hilda (MonochromeShipping, and yet again let me remind that I hc Hilbert and Hilda as twins so no funny business!)
My weirdest pairing for them

Hilbert/Albin hands down. I suppose it’s technically Hilbert/Hero of Truth since that’s who Albin is, but he also fuses with Reshiram so I just call it WhiteForestShipping since Hilbert/Hero of Truth has no ship name.

All the Evil Team leaders for the ship thing! (since I’ve always felt about half of them are difficult to ship)

You’re right, they are hard to ship, so apologies if this is a bit shorter than the other asks I’ve done. 

Giovanni
– My NOTP for them
Not the hugest fan of Gio/Cyrus (AbsoluteControlShipping) but that’s more to do with me not shipping Cyrus with anyone.  
– My BROTP for them
This one is weird but I like the idea of him and Nanu knowing each other/being friends?
– My OTP for them
Giovanni/Angelo aka my crack pairing of Gio and Lyra’s dad whoop. They’re childhood friends in the fankid AU and are each other’s one true love~
– My second choice pairing for them
No one.
– My fluffy pairing for them
Gio/Angelo.
– My angsty pairing for them
Giovanni/Ariana (SilverSpawnShipping) since they were an unhealthy relationship in mine. Otherwise, unrequited Archer/Giovanni (SubordinateShipping).
– My favorite poly ship for them
None.
– My weirdest pairing for them
Gio/Angelo, by virtue of it being an OC/canon pairing.

Maxie
– My NOTP for them
None.  
– My BROTP for them
Maxie/Courtney. 
– My OTP for them
Maxie/Archie (HardenShipping).  
– My second choice pairing for them
None. If it’s not Archie it’s not anyone.
– My fluffy pairing for them
Maxie/Archie.
– My angsty pairing for them
Maxie/Archie, it’s my only ship for him so it gets all the fluff and all the angst and everything.
– My favorite poly ship for them
None.
– My weirdest pairing for them
None. Maxie/Archie is mainstream.

Archie
– My NOTP for them
None.  
– My BROTP for them
Archie/Matt. BROS.
– My OTP for them
Archie/Maxie.  
– My second choice pairing for them
Archie/Shelly (ShiverMeTimbersShipping)
– My fluffy pairing for them
Archie/Shelly is probably fluffier than HardenShipping tbh.
– My angsty pairing for them
Archie/Maxie, especially if it’s a love/hate type thing.
– My favorite poly ship for them
Maybe something like Archie/Shelly/Matt (AquadanShipping)?
– My weirdest pairing for them

None, really. I only ship him with Maxie or Shelly and both I think are fairly mainstream for him.

Cyrus (I hc him as aromatic so ….. this will be brief).
– My NOTP for them
None. (Excluding obligatory ‘they’re related in my headcanon’ squick ships Cyrus/Johanna and Cyrus/Dawn (AkatsukiShipping).)
– My BROTP for them
I think under different circumstances he and Cynthia could have become good friends.
– My OTP for them
None. I don’t ship Cyrus with anyone.
– My second choice pairing for them
None.
– My fluffy pairing for them
Cyrus/Happiness.
– My angsty pairing for them
Cyrus/the Void. (But more seriously, unrequited Cyrus and any of his admins, especially Saturn.)
– My favorite poly ship for them
None.
– My weirdest pairing for them

None. (wow this was easy round)

Ghetsis (I also hc him as ace/aro so this will be brief yet again.)
– My NOTP for them  
Since he’s not interested in relationships in my hc….. kind of anyone?
– My BROTP for them
Does he even have friends. Maybe once upon a time he had a bro. Or some of the more fanatical sages.
– My OTP for them
None.
– My second choice pairing for them
None.
– My fluffy pairing for them
None.
– My angsty pairing for them
I guess any scenario where he’s forced to be in a relationship since he would hate that but don’t we want him to suffer.
– My favorite poly ship for them
None.
– My weirdest pairing for them
No ships for the nasty man.

Lysandre
– My NOTP for them
None, really.  
– My BROTP for them
I hc him as having been a father figure to Alain and Calem, so them I guess, but hopefully in a happier world where he didn’t try and kill everyone. 
– My OTP for them
Lysandre/Augustine (PerfectWorldShipping).
– My second choice pairing for them
Lysandre/Malva (BeautifulWorldShipping)
– My fluffy pairing for them
Lysandre/Augustine in a happy AU.
– My angsty pairing for them
Lysandre/Augustine and Lysandre/Malva in canon.
– My favorite poly ship for them
Augustine/Lysandre/Malva or something who knows.
– My weirdest pairing for them

He hooked up with Bryony (RiskShipping) in the fankid AU if that counts.

Guzma
– My NOTP for them
None.  
– My BROTP for them
Guzma/Kukui or Guzma/Plumeria.
– My OTP for them
Guzma/Molayne. (SteelSkullShipping)  
– My second choice pairing for them
Guzma/Plumeria. (SkullShipping)
– My fluffy pairing for them
Guzma/Molayne.
– My angsty pairing for them
Guzma/Lusamine. (SyntheticRuinationShipping).
– My favorite poly ship for them
Guzma/Kukui/Burnet. (OsteologyShipping.)
– My weirdest pairing for them
Guzma/Molayne.

Lusamine
– My NOTP for them
I’ve seen enough porn of her with her kids I feel like I should mention it here.  
– My BROTP for them
Lusamine/Alola Mom
– My OTP for them
Lusamine/Mohn.(MeanBeanShipping)
– My second choice pairing for them
Lusamine/Healthy Life Choices
– My fluffy pairing for them
Lusamine/Mohn pre-bad things happening.
– My angsty pairing for them
Lusamine/Mohn with amnesiac Mohn or Lusamine/Guzma.
– My favorite poly ship for them
None.
– My weirdest pairing for them
None. I only ship her with her canon husband.

Leaf, Lyra, Lucas, and Calem?

Leaf
– My NOTP for them
Well, since I headcanon her and Red to be siblings, I feel a bit weird seeing them shipped together. (BurningLeafShipping)  
– My BROTP for them
Aside from her and Red as siblings, I like the idea of Leaf being good friends with both the Let’s Go characters, being their age and going on a journey with them in the fankid AU, as well as being good friends with Lyra, Ethan, and Silver.
– My OTP for them
Leaf/Blue (ConflictingShipping)
– My second choice pairing for them
Leaf/Silver (ReturnToStartShipping) has grown on me. I like them as close friends so a romantic ship is a possible alternate to that.
– My fluffy pairing for them
I write Leaf/Blue as pretty fluffy, but the true fluffy Leaf ship is Leaf/Yellow (CrushedWordShipping), despite the ship name since Yellow makes almost any ship fluffy.
– My angsty pairing for them
I can see Leaf/Silver being pretty angsty since it’s a ship that I can’t really see lasting, despite enjoying the dynamic.
– My favorite poly ship for them
Leaf/Blue/Misty could be pretty cute I think.
– My weirdest pairing for them
I suppose Leaf/Yellow? They come from different canons at least.

Lyra
– My NOTP for them
None.  
– My BROTP for them
Lyra/Ethan. I like them as best friends.
– My OTP for them
Lyra/Silver. (SoulSilverShipping). This would be for game!protag!Lyra as opposed to any other one.
– My second choice pairing for them
I think Lyra/Lance (TrickyShipping) is cute and used to ship it more seriously when I was younger. Maybe it would be cute for if Ethan was protag instead of her since I have bff!Ethan with Lance in the fankid AU. 
– My fluffy pairing for them
Lyra/Khoury (JohtoFestaShipping). This is the ship I like for anime!Lyra.
– My angsty pairing for them
I gave her and Silver a decent amount of angst in the fankid AU so…
– My favorite poly ship for them
Lyra/Silver/Ethan (SamisenShipping) or Lyra/Lance/Ethan, but I see the latter as being less realistic. 
– My weirdest pairing for them

None really? I tend to ship her with more popular ships.

Lucas
– My NOTP for them
None.  
– My BROTP for them
Lucas/Dawn. I really like them as close friends, regardless of role or universe.
– My OTP for them
Lucas/Barry (ClingyShipping.) It doesn’t matter if Lucas is the protag or assistant this is the OTP.
– My second choice pairing for them
I just can’t see Lucas/Dawn as being romantic, and don’t really think about Lucas ships beyond Clingy, but a ship that could be interesting is Lucas/Cynthia (JocastaShipping).
– My fluffy pairing for them
Lucas/Barry.
– My angsty pairing for them
Maybe unrequited Lucas/Dawn or Lucas/Cynthia?
– My favorite poly ship for them
Even though I don’t ship Lucas/Dawn, I like the idea of Dawn/Barry/Lucas (ScarfShipping).
– My weirdest pairing for them
I guess Lucas/Cynthia but I don’t really ship it seriously.

Calem
– My NOTP for them
Don’t have one to be honest, but I guess the obligatory ‘I hc them as related so I find the ship weird’ of Calem/Sycamore (KerrShipping) and Calem/Alain. 
– My BROTP for them
Considering I hc them as actual brothers, I’ll put Calem/Alain here, but the actual answer would probably be Calem/Shauna. I hc them as each other’s best childhood friends.
– My OTP for them
Calem/Serena (KalosShipping).  
– My second choice pairing for them
Calem/Emma (GrowingUpShipping) is pretty cute.
– My fluffy pairing for them
Calem/Serena.
– My angsty pairing for them
Calem/Lysandre and it’s all @sydchan‘s fault. But uhh…. this would be in an anime!AU or where Calem is the protagonist since in the fankid AU he saw Lysandre as a father figure so a ship between them would be Weird. 
– My favorite poly ship for them
Maybe something like Calem/Serena/Shauna (TreasuredGiftShipping) sounds pretty cute.
– My weirdest pairing for them

I suppose Calem/Emma is obscure? I don’t see a lot of Calem at all to be honest.

Chili, Cress, and Cilan?

Chili
– My NOTP for them
None, really. Don’t see enough Chili content to have encountered any (romantic) ships I dislike for him.  
– My BROTP for them
Well, aside from the obvious of his own brothers, I like to think of him having a close friendship with Anthea and Concordia, more so than his brothers do. This is mostly tied to my hc of the triplets as being the Shadow Triad, hence why Chili knows the sisters well enough to befriend them.
– My OTP for them
Chili/Korrina~ (CadienneShipping)  
– My second choice pairing for them
Chili/Burgundy (CandyCornShipping), mainly since it seems to be the popular Chili ship and I think they’re cute together.  
– My fluffy pairing for them
Probably Chili/Korrina, I like to headcanon them as a happy couple with little conflict
– My angsty pairing for them
Maybe Chili/Burgundy? In the fankid AU, the brothers move to Kalos and start over so perhaps if Chili and Burgundy had feelings for each other before that they would have to break things off, idk.  
– My favorite poly ship for them
None, honestly.
– My weirdest pairing for them 
I suppose Chili/Korrina counts.

Cress
– My NOTP for them
Same as with Chili, none. I rarely see Cress ship content, to be honest?  
– My BROTP for them
Aside from his brothers, Cress/Siebold. I think they’re a cute ship, but I prefer them as good friends and cooking buddies/rivals.
– My OTP for them
Cress/Jasmine (GingerbreadShipping)
– My second choice pairing for them
This is so embarrassing, but I’ve grown really fond of the dynamic Cress and his OC Team Plasma Admin ex-boyfriend had. (ChancellorShipping) 
– My fluffy pairing for them
Definitely Cress/Jasmine – cuteness for days, those two.
– My angsty pairing for them
It’s going to be Cress/Seamus just since they broke up under angsty circumstances and then get some drama with Cicely later on. 
– My favorite poly ship for them
Maybe Jasmine/Cress/Seamus.
– My weirdest pairing for them
Cress/OC kind of wins this by default since it came out of nowhere for me.

Cilan
– My NOTP for them
It’s not really a NOTP since I don’t hate seeing the pairing or anything, but I just don’t personally see the appeal of WishfulShipping. It’s a popular enough ship I figured I’d mention it.  
– My BROTP for them
As always, aside from his brothers, maybe Cilan/N? I mentioned that I was considering their relationship with Cilan being in the Shadow Triad, but I like to think that he was/is friends with N, as much as N had friends when he was still in Team Plasma.
– My OTP for them
Cilan/Clemont (LemonMeringuePieShipping)  
– My second choice pairing for them
Cilan/Burgundy (SommelierShipping)
– My fluffy pairing for them
Cilan/Clemont, this ship is tooth rotting fluff, I hc them as being very supportive of each other
– My angsty pairing for them
Cilan/N (KiraShipping)
– My favorite poly ship for them
Aria/Cilan/Burgundy (SommelierTimeShipping?). Aria/Cilan is probably my third-favorite Cilan pairing and I think Aria and Burgundy could have an interesting dynamic.
– My weirdest pairing for them
Cilan/Clemont is popular in my corner of the fankid fandom since we all dragged each other into this ship but it’s honestly a pretty obscure one. Otherwise, Cilan/N.

What happens to each of the Team Flare admins?

Aliana: Arrested after Team Flare is defeated. She would have gone free after not too much time (since prison sentences seem fairly short in the pokémon world), but due to being discovered trying to bribe guards and doing illicit deals with other inmates, her sentence was extended. After she goes free, she proves she hasn’t changed her ways by working for Team Mythic.

Bryony: Prior to Team Flare’s defeat, she has a one night stand with Lysandre which results in her becoming pregnant. Her sister, Mable, was the only other person who knew of this, and was the one to help Bryony escape when the police came to arrest most of the other Team Flare members. Bryony ends up having difficulty supporting herself and her son, Basile, due to having to lay low and avoid the law and the two move around a lot as she tries to find part time work. When Basile is about 9 years old, Bryony is finally caught when she was out looking for their dinner and she doesn’t tell the police about her son, fearing what would happen to him if they found out he was Lysandre’s son. Basile ends up living on the streets, not knowing what happened to his mother, for another 5 years before being taken in and later adopted by Clemont and Cilan. Bryony ends up with a harsher sentence for fleeing justice, and is still in prison.

Celosia: Dies when Lysandre uses the Ultimate Weapon and the base collapses. She came from a wealthy family and only joined Team Flare for fun. By the end of it all, she regretted joining and wanted to defect, but it was too late for her. Tried to escape at the end of it all but ends up crushed as the HQ collapses when she and Mable stay behind – Celosia trying to rescue some pokémon that had been left behind by the other fleeing Flare members. Her family tries to sue Lysandre Labs after the incident, but nothing comes of it since Celosia joined the Team and committed crimes of her own will.

Mable: Joined Team Flare with her younger sister Bryony. After her sister confided that she was pregnant with Lysandre’s child and was afraid what would happen if Team Flare was defeated, she helps Bryony escape the HQ not long before the weapon goes off. However, Mable herself stays behind to try and rescue Lysandre, wanting him to live so he can at least know he has a child, but she ends up crushed when Celosia asks her to help rescue some trapped pokémon on her way to the central chamber. 

Xerosic: Originally from Ultra Megalopolis, he was stranded in the ‘main’ world after the wormhole creating technology he was testing, including his protective suit, broke. He joined Lysandre Labs to try and gain access to the tech required to rebuild a portal back home. When Team Flare is defeated, he works on his Expansion Suit project – the goal of it was to create a suit he could use to get back home once his portal was built. After he finishes his prison time (having turned himself in to Interpol), he finds out that there are other people from his home world in Alola and heads there. He eventually chooses to remain in Alola rather than move permanently back to Ultra Megalopolis and gets a job with Aether Foundation studying Ultra Space. Incidentally, he is also Zossie’s uncle. 

I still plan on updating here as long as I can, but just in case tumblr completely dies, I’ve mirrored this blog on WordPress. It’s still in the process of being set up, but if anything goes terribly wrong I’ll still be there.

Ignitionshipping?

How they first met: They first met as children when they started middle school together. Volkner said that Flint’s hair looked stupid and then Flint punched him in the mouth. They both got sent to the principal’s office. It was the start of a beautiful friendship.
Where their first date was: They were one of those couples where the line between friends and boyfriends shifted so slowly it’s hard for them to figure out exactly when they started dating. Volkner considers their first actual date to be when they had their first kiss, while Flint will say they were ‘dating all along even if they didn’t know it’ because they are ‘soulmates bound by a red string.’ 
When they had their first kiss: They had their first kiss when they were both 17. After goofing off all evening getting tipsy and wandering around the city, they ended up on one of the cliffs overlooking the sea. The spot was popular for dates and Flint made a joke about the romantic atmosphere, two bros chillin’ in a date spot sitting so close their legs are touching ‘cause they might be gay. Volkner kissed him to shut him up. 
Who cooks: Neither are particularly good cooks. Volkner can cook the classic college/bachelor diet of soup from a can, ramen, and toast, among other similar things. Flint is not allowed near the kitchen. Considering both of them have high salaries, they mainly get takeout or dine out. Out of desperation, their son Ronan ends up learning to cook when he is fairly young, so he tends to make things in bulk just for variety. 
Who proposed: Flint proposed. It was at an annual gathering for all the Sinnoh Gym Leaders and Elite Four, so there was a very big audience. He tried to be dramatic about it and there were pyrotechnics involved. Except then one of the pyrotechnics caught a tablecloth on fire and the entire venue had to be evacuated. Volkner ended up saying ‘yes’ in the parking lot. They both consider it one of their most romantic memories.   
The dominate one: Both of them, but in different ways. Flint is more energetic and tends to be the most enthusiastic, but Volkner is more creative and can curb his husbands enthusiasm and channel it all towards productivity. Volkner especially likes to try new things and can get very inventive in the bedroom as well, though Flint is usually eager to go along.
Their favorite pastime together: They are both professional pokémon trainers first and foremost so anything involving battling is sure to be a hit. They also love just hanging out in Sunyshore and wandering around, grabbing a coffee and soaking in the vibes of their hometown while Volkner brags about all the new tech he’s implemented into the city to make it greener that Flint’s heard a thousand times but he still listens intently since it’s his husband’s passion and seeing Volkner smile and talk about what he loves is like basking in the sun.
Who kissed who first: Volkner kissed Flint.
Who is the flirt: Flint casually flirts just about all the time, but Volkner likes to carefully curate an especially devastating line to bring out at just the right moment to completely fluster Flint and get him to trip up. One time he walked into a lamppost after Volkner told him how good he looked that day. 
Who is the romantic: Flint is more of a cheesy romantic, while Volkner is more of a thoughtful romantic. But really, they’re both so hopelessly in love even after all these years anything they both qualify as romantics.
Who wakes up first: Flint isn’t really an early riser but since Volkner will sleep past noon every day if given the chance, really most anyone is an early riser compared to him.
Who comforts who the most: Flint is Volkner’s go-to whenever he needs to vent, or he just feels sad, or he’s annoyed that one of his projects isn’t working out and he needs to hold his husband, or….. well the list goes on. Volkner is a good listener though, even if he’s not as good at giving advice, so he’s always there for Flint just as Flint is there for him.
The cuddler: Perhaps surprisingly, both are equally cuddly. Though…. Volkner is more ‘clingy’ than cuddly.
The big spoon: They alternate.

Name Change & New Fankids

Instead of doing asks or drabble requests I decided to change the name of one of my fankids and ended up with three new fankids at the same time because I cannot be left alone unsupervised. 

Essentially, I felt dissatisfied that my RocketShipping son did not have a clever outlaw related name, so decided to try and find one that fit him and still followed the ‘J’ name convention I found cute with Jessie and James. Along the way, I found a number of other outlaw related names I found cute, which ended up with my NeoShipping son, Parker, gaining a twin sister named Bonnie, and the RocketShipping son, newly dubbed Jules, gaining two younger sisters named Jill and Josephine ‘Josie’. Bonnie’s name was chosen because I found out that the outlaw Bonnie had the surname ‘Parker’. Originally, I chose Parker’s name since it was the surname of Butch Cassidy, but the fact another famous outlaw had the same surname was too good a chance to pass up since the established pattern for Rocket duos was already ‘first and last name of a famous gunslinger.’ Bonnie might be Parker’s twin, but the two are firmly rivals, and not friendly ones either, since while Parker is a criminal like their parents, Bonnie is on the straight and narrow and works in law enforcement. As for the two new RocketShipping daughters, I don’t know much about them yet, and mainly added them since I can see Jessie and James wanting more than one child, and the idea of Jules interacting with younger sisters was heartwarming to me. Jill’s name was mainly chosen to match the rest of her family’s and she most likely has a mix of her parents’ hair colors and Josie is named after Josephine Earp (wife of Wyatt Earp) and most likely has James’ hair color, so that the family has one of each (Jules has Jessie’s hair color.)
