As of right now, Luca stays in the past along with Azar. I think he will probably have the chance to let his family know he’s ok though. Maybe through Celebi (which is how he got stuck in the past in the first place.) He and Azar actually end up settling down in the past – getting jobs, integrating into society, even eventually falling in love with each other and starting a family. He’s sad that he can no longer see his mother and sister and the rest of his clan, but he’s pretty happy with his life as well. I think once she gets news that he’s safe and doing well, Clair will be fine with that. As long as Luca’s okay, that’s all that matters.

You mention in your family section that Clair is a single mother. What are the circumstance behind that (adoption, surrogate, accident, spouse died, etc) and how is her relationship with her kids?
Clair is happily single with no interest in dating and has always been such. Adelinda and Luca were both born via artificial insemination (so I suppose they are technically half-siblings). Clair originally planned on only having Adelinda, but after Lance had Draco, she decided that she wanted to have another child. Adelinda and Noelle were close in age and got along well, so Clair thought it would be nice for Draco to have a second cousin playmate as well. However, there were more issues with conceiving this time around, and it took about three years for Clair to have a successful pregnancy, so Luca is a couple years younger than Draco. As for her relationship with her kids, it’s…. a bit strained and somewhat distant. Noelle’s death was very rough for Adelinda, who was present during the accident and was badly injured. She has survivor guilt and blames herself for ‘allowing’ Noelle to die. As a result, Adelinda is quite withdrawn and closed off, dedicating her time to being a trainer and later a Gym Leader to an extreme degree. Clair was never entirely sure how to best help her daughter through her grief and for much of Adelinda’s childhood their relationship was rather strained. Currently, however, they are doing much better as Adelinda has found her own sources of support and Clair has found it easier to connect with her daughter as she matured. Their relationship is meant to mirror Lance and Draco’s, which starts of very close, but grows estranged as Draco becomes older.
While Adelinda and Clair had difficulties getting along (probably in no small part due to their similar personalities), Luca always got along well with his mother. He’s very mild-mannered and prefers to avoid conflict when he can. The artist to Adelinda’s politician I suppose. Clair was determined to stay close to Luca after her relationship with Adelinda deteriorated as she didn’t want the same to happen with her younger child. She did her best to make time to spend with him and cultivate his interest in writing, reading, and calligraphy. Their relationship was still always a bit distant, as Clair was still often away on work business or clan business, but Luca would say that he gets along well with his mother. Their closer relationship, sadly, just made it all the more devastating for Clair when Luca goes missing in his late teens along with his close friend, Azar. Even now, years later, when many others have given up hope, Clair is determined that Luca is still alive out there (luckily he is, as he and Azar both ended up travelling back in time a few centuries). The loss of Luca is also a factor that helped Clair and Adelinda grow closer. All in all, she’s a mother who tries her best to raise her children well, even if there are issues along the way, and her children know and appreciate her for that.
Draco with 1C (second meme)?
I wonder what scared the normally stoic Draco so much that he made this face?
if ur still doing the drawing thing can you draw amarylis in c1 please?
Sorry this took so long! This seems like a nice warm dress, so I gave Rylla a warm drink to complement it. It’s not her usual style of clothing, but I think she looks quite nice in it. I wonder who got her to dress like this?
!!! what kind of supernatural beings are there in your world??? id love to know more!!!!
There are all sorts! Some are much more well known than others. First of all: mages. I wouldn’t say that they would count as ‘supernatural creatures’ since they’re essentially people with magic powers, but they do exist! Mages are a small portion of the population and their magic essentially deals with the soul. I’ll do a longer post on them next week since it would take up way too much space to discuss the magic system of this world in whole here.
Next up – well-known non-human species. There are two that everyone knows about and are well integrated into society. The most prominent would be dragonbloods. I would say maybe about 5% of the population are dragonblood? But don’t quote me on that, it’s not finalized yet haha. Dragonbloods are essentially what they sound like: humans with a touch of dragon blood in them. Their origin is kind of unknown and each clan has their own origin story ranging from being blessed by dragon gods to being descended from them. They look mostly human, but have pointed ears, small fangs, and vertical pupils. They have different internal workings from humans as well; they live longer (130-150 years is typical), have different immune systems, and are more resilient to the elements (aside from the cold, which they are sensitive to). Historically, they have typically been rulers and upper-class citizens, a trend that has continued to the modern day with many Champions being dragonbloods, including Lance Fusube, Wallace Lu, Cynthia Drakonova, and Iris Pendragon. Dragonbloods are considered a subspecies of humans but they don’t really like that. You can think of them as the ‘stuck up fantasy elves’ of this world haha.
And the last ‘well-known’ supernatural species would be the Malachim. These guys are full-on supernatural no where near human in any aspect. Their history is kind of interesting, essentially this race is a remnant of a millennia-old disagreement between two ancient brother-deities. The ancestors of the Malachim were a race created by these two gods and essentially served as aids/intermediaries for them – these gods were big back their day and had so many worshipers they needed helpers to communicate with everyone. Eventually, however, the two brothers had a fight that resulted in two factions – their messengers being split in loyalties between their two masters. The god that won banished his brother and all the messengers who sided with him to the mortal realm as punishment and from those exiled messengers the Malach race came to be. Somewhere between mortal and divine, the modern descendants of those original exiled messengers tend to live in nomadic tribes on the fringes of society, preferring not to interact with ‘mortals’. They are a mono-gender race, appearing physically similar to human males and reproduce asexually through magic (though they can reproduce the ‘traditional’ way with human females, the resulting children are creatively known as ‘half-malachim’). There are probably other species of semi-divine origin similar to them, but these guys are the only extensively known ones.
Of course, there are dozens and dozens of ‘unconfirmed’ beings. Supernatural folk who are only known through legends and scattered reports. They exist, I can confirm that, but to the average person of this AU, they’re closer to cryptids – beings that might be real but also might not. Think of any supernatural creature or being from any folklore around the world, chances are a similar being exists in secret in this world.
What do Enzian and Primrose look like and what are some of their main Pokemon? And what are their relationships like with their parents (Lonashipping is life so I was stoked to see more fankids for them <3)!
Primrose and Enzian both have black hair like their mother (I went with the default look for Selene) and green eyes like their father. Primrose wears her hair in a bob and prefers cute fashion in pastel colors. Her main color scheme is sky blue and white. In fact, when she was younger, she wore her hair long and looked an awful lot like her aunt Lillie! Enzian inherited his father’s cowlick and seems to have perpetually messy hair. He doesn’t really care much what he wears, since he’s usually running around outdoors and getting dirty. His jeans seem to always have tears in the knees.
Both Prim and Enzian are dark mages (mediums, have an affinity for ghosts, etc) which they inherited from their mother. While Enzian loves ghosts and exploring haunted places, Primrose is terribly afraid of them. I know that part of her character arc is learning to overcome that fear, which is why I gave her Rowlet as a starter, since it eventually gains a ghost typing when it evolves. I also know that Enzian has a Mimikyu who he likes to play pranks with. Since the two of them are both too young to go on their journeys at the current point of the story, I’m not sure what their other pokémon will be!
Gladion is a stay-at-home dad in my ‘verse, so I think both the kids get along better with him just because they are more used to him. However, they definitely love their mother as well, and look forward to the times when she comes home from her busy work as champion. I will say that Selene and Primrose have a bit of a strained relationship, though. Prim feels like she can’t connect to her mother because of her fear of ghosts and Selene’s close relationship with them. She fears that she has little in common with her mother and that she won’t be able to grow close with her as a result. This fear also impacts her relationship with her little brother, since Enzian is quite different from her as well. I would say that Gladion is the family member Primrose is closest with. Enzian gets along equally with all of them, since he’s the type of kid who is very easy going and can make friends with anyone. Enzian is also particularly close with his cousin, Kou, and the two hang out pretty frequently. Primrose is best friends with Kiele (Kiawe and Mallow’s daughter) and Victoria (Lana and Sophocles’ daughter) and the three of them are very tight-knit childhood friends.
How does the Pokémon Storage system work in your headcanon? :D
Similarly to how pokéballs function, the Storage System is able to transfer registered pokémon into data and store them in a state of suspended animation. This feature is useful for people who are travelling long distances and may not wish to bring their pokéballs with them, however, just as it is highly discouraged to keep one’s pokémon in their pokéballs for extended periods of time, it is not recommended to keep pokémon in the storage system for more than a week at a time and people who won’t be able to take care of their pokémon for longer than that should seek the aid of a daycare or sitter. The system functions as more than just pokémon storage, however. It can be used to trade pokémon, store items, and as an ATM all through scanning one’s trainer licence. The terminal at all pokécenters is a very useful tool for both new and veteran trainers alike.

Are there any kids who are would rather be around their Pokémon then people?
Renato 100%. He doesn’t really like hanging out with people and spends way more time chilling with his team than with others. His team helped him out when he was struggling with living at home and have supported him through thick and thin, thus he considers them some of his closest friends. His starter, Maya the Meganium, is especially close with him.
Rylla often finds social interactions stressful and difficult, and her pokémon friends are frequently easier to talk to and spend time with. If life gets overwhelming, she’ll often spend some time camping in a nearby forest – Viridian Forest if it’s close by – and just interact with both her team and the wildlife. Rylla has an especially close connection with nature thanks to her heritage and she really appreciates all that her pokémon friends have done to support her.
Are any of the kids in a group chat? And, if so, do they make fun of any typos that happen?
All the Montfort cousins and siblings have their own weird family group chat. It’s generally just chaos. Aster keeps posting memes, Tipha keeps changing the group name, Oliver always posts novel-length messages, Euphie is always posting selfies and nothing else, it’s just chaos. Maddie tries to have perfect grammar in all her messages, so whenever she makes a typo, the whole group gangs up on her. Most of her typos are now memes in the chat. Eban and Avoria have this thing going on where they finish each other’s messages, but half the time someone else will post in between, so the effect is ruined and they always complain about that.
