I read ‘Byakuren Tokiwa (Single Father)’ than I read ‘Delia Ketchum (Single Mother)’ and now I couldn’t help but think Ash and Yellow will be cute as siblings!

· Leave a comment ·

That’s an intriguing idea! However, while I can see Delia perhaps wanting to start a relationship, Byakuren not as much. He’s a thousands of years old dragon god and in general not really the romantic type. There are even jokes that he just had Yellow through osmosis or something since he never speaks about her other parent. But, while I don’t think they’d end up together romantically, I can see them being good friends! I haven’t thought as much about the dynamic between all the ‘Pallet Parents’ aside from the Charlie/Aiden/Scarlett/Byakuren childhood friend quartet, but since Delia lives there too I’m sure she’s part of that friend group.

I can see her being especially close with Scarlett (Red & Leaf’s mother) and Sylvie (Chase & Elaine’s mother) in a sort of ‘Pallet Town Mom Friends’ group, but I’m sure she’d get to know Byakuren as well. I’m not sure how much he sticks around after Yellow grows up – if he stays in Pallet or heads back to his home/domain of Viridian Forest – but either way he and Delia definitely know each other and are probably friends! Byakuren can be kind of prickly around people who aren’t his immediate friend group, but Delia is also very open and persistent so if she decided she wanted to be friends with him she’d probably manage it. Since she would have known Aiden and Charlie growing up (all three of them being raised in Pallet, and doing a bit of math – she’d be maybe a year or two younger than them), she probably would want to get to know their mysterious new dragon friend as well. As such, they’ve probably known each other since Delia was a teenager, so plenty of time to become friends. Both raising their kids on their own as well, they likely helped each other out with parenting (of course Aiden, Scarlett, and Charlie helped out as well), especially since Delia was quite young when she had Ash.

Ash and Yellow would have grown up as childhood friends. Ash would be around three years older, and they’re both very sweet and friendly people so I can see them spending time together when they were kids aside from just hanging out since their parents are friends. As they’re both only children, perhaps they already had a sibling-like relationship where Yellow looked up to him as an older brother figure (though it was generally Red who was more overt with seeing Ash as a brother figure.) I’m sure they keep in touch as adults since both seem the type to want to stay up to date with their childhood friends, but since they live in different regions now they likely don’t see each other as much unless Ash and his family are visiting his hometown (for the holidays or something.)

So, while I can’t see a ship between their parents working out, Ash and Yellow are still close friends!

10 Facts About Morgan Rozanov

  1. He has Ash’s black hair and ‘z’ markings on his cheeks along with Paul’s gray eyes and hair texture. His hair tends to stick up a bit more than Paul’s though, being prone to bedhead if he doesn’t carefully brush it in the morning and before he goes to sleep.
  2. Like Ash, he’s a light mage, specifically the kind with the ability to use aura. He has trouble controlling his magic, however, either not being able to produce anything at all or going overboard and losing control. He’s afraid of accidentally hurting someone, so he tries to not use his magic that much, even if that’s not very healthy for a mage to do.
  3. He’s on the shy side, disliking direct confrontation and being easily embarrassed in social situations. As a child, he tended to let his much more outgoing older sister handle any social interactions he was too shy to confront himself. He wishes he was more outgoing like his dad or sister, or at least had thicker skin like his father.
  4. He doesn’t much care for being a trainer, much preferring contests to Gym Battles, but for a long time he was afraid to tell his family he wanted to be a coordinator since he thought they would disapprove, being all strong trainers themselves. After a bit of drama and some help from Uncle Reggie, he’s able to tell his parents his dreams and, of course, they support him wholly.
  5. His starter is a Snorunt that was given to him as an egg by Reggie. The Snorunt is actually the child of Paul’s Froslass. Paul had noticed his son’s interest in the elegant pokémon (both his own and Dawn’s Froslass), so he asks for his brother’s help in arranging a way to give Morgan a Snorunt egg as his starter. 
  6. Morgan is very close with Ash’s Pikachu (who calls him ‘Pichupi’) often going to his dad’s partner pokémon for support and comfort when he felt too nervous to talk to his parents or sister about whatever was bothering him. Pikachu is also very good at picking up on Morgan’s anxiety and will go cuddle up to him if he notices his ‘nephew’ getting too nervous. 
  7. While he tended to dress in plain, practical outfits when he was younger, as he grows more confident and wants to improve his coordinating skills, Morgan decides to try and be bolder in his fashion sense. He ends up going to Emery for advice, since she’s got the flashiest fashion sense of anyone he knows. This results in Morgan developing somewhat of a ‘goth/punk lite’ style in his mid-teens, wearing a lot of fitted and distressed dark clothing, getting his ears pierced, and wearing dark eyeliner and nail polish. He ends up liking this ‘rebellious but not too rebellious’ look quite a bit (though Paul is still baffled by his two goth children.)
  8. Despite his initial concerns about his parents not approving of him being a coordinator, Ash and Paul are very supportive of Morgan’s choice in path. Ash in particular is his son’s most vocal and enthusiastic fan, attending every contest that he can and recording the one’s he can’t to preserve them forever. He’s the parent sitting front and center cheering as loud as he can for his son to win (while Morgan is turning bright red with embarrassment on stage.) Paul is more subdued in his support (often having to tug his husband back down to his seat when he keeps jumping up during Morgan’s contests), but he does his best to help his son in his own way. While he’s not a coordinator himself, he often offers Morgan advice from a technical standpoint for the battle portion of the contests and won’t tolerate anyone trash talking his son in any way (a glare is usually enough to shut up anyone foolish enough to try in his presence.)
  9. Morgan likes to train ‘beautiful’ pokémon, usually having a preference for elegant and graceful ones. He’s a very supportive trainer and does best to encourage his team’s full potential, but sometimes his own self-doubt weighs them all down. Part of his character arc as a coordinator is learning how being confident in himself helps him be more confident in his team and how to help let them support him as much as he supports them.
  10. His favorite food is ice cream, but since he lives in chilly Sinnoh, he gets brain freeze half the time he eats. He always gets upset when he gets brain freeze… but that doesn’t stop him from buying ice cream in the middle of winter anyway. He just can’t resist it. He also bites into his ice cream bars and then chews the ice cream without even hesitating, which is absolutely unsettling to watch. 

Just a suggestion, but can you make family trees for your au?

· Leave a comment ·

You know what. That’s a very good idea. I actually made one for the Montfort family tree (in theory the Montfort family tree since it ends up connecting all the way to Lyra through various ‘by marriage’ relations) a while ago that I think is up to date. Here’s the link, which hopefully works.

But also… if you have any questions regarding how characters might be related please feel free to ask! Often the answer is as simple as ‘I though it would be cool if these two canon characters were siblings/cousins/etc’

10 Facts About Yuusuke Hasumi

  1. Yuusuke is actually his traditional/Japanese name. His given name is Lyndon, but he dislikes this name and thus rarely uses it. There is a small list of people he allows to call him by his given name, but it’s a privilege reserved only for his closest friends and family. And Caleb. Who calls him ‘Lyndie’ despite Yuusuke’s numerous protests. Yuusuke has just had to learn to accept Caleb’s nicknames. His other nickname is ‘Yuu’, but only Alba calls him that and he doesn’t tolerate it from anyone else, even Caleb.
  2. While Morty had primary custody of him growing up, Yuusuke would still visit Jasmine every month for a weekend. He tended to dislike these visits though, since he doesn’t do well in social interactions with people he doesn’t know well, so once he’s a teenager he stops seeing her as much. He doesn’t dislike his mother, he just doesn’t want to deal with unwanted visits.
  3. He has a passion for the sword, having learned kendo from a young age. He often carries around an ancestral family sword both for the comfort of having it at his side and for the intimidation factor since he hates social interaction.
  4. He has Jasmine’s brown eyes and Morty’s blond hair, though his hair has a similar texture to his mother’s rather than being wavy like Morty’s. He wears it long in a low ponytail and takes his hair-care very seriously.  
  5. He gets along with all his siblings differently. He’s very close with Neal, though from an outsider perspective their relationship seems to be mostly Neal teasing Yuusuke and Yuusuke snapping at him. They really do care deeply for each other, however. He’s initially awkward around Mavis, Branwen and Cormag, but after realizing that they look up to him a lot, he tries to be a good role model and spend more time with them. He hates Kestrel. The two are probably equally misanthropic and so they just rub each other the wrong way. He’d prefer to not have to see her and will leave the room if she’s there (and she’ll do the same if she finds him.)
  6. He met Alba through Draco of all people. Yuusuke and Draco are sort-of friends, and Draco knows Alba through his father, as Lance and Cynthia are friends from being Champion. Draco introduced Alba to Yuusuke when she was visiting from Sinnoh and it was basically love at first sight for both of them. Their relationship is a bit confusing to Yuuske’s friends and family since seeing him do anything romantic is baffling, but they’re very much in love.
  7. Though his default mode is ‘irritated’, those who know him well enough can pick out when Yuusuke’s annoyance is real or just feigned. Around people he likes, he’ll be more sarcastic and less scathing. Knowing the difference generally means being close enough to him to be a friend.
  8. To get away from dealing with people, he often likes to go camp out in the woods for a weekend and just spend time training his pokémon without having to interact with anyone.
  9. He has a surprisingly high alcohol tolerance and enjoys hard liquor. However he sees this as going against his ‘image’ and drinks in secret, even though he’s of age. One time Branwen begged him to let her try a bit of his stash when she caught him drinking so he offered her a small sip, which then just knocked her out. He’s not told anyone of this incident since it embarrasses him.
  10. He and Alba have a young daughter named Nadia, who is just a baby. Yuusuke is extremely protective of her and has threatened people for ‘looking at her too much.’ Alba is good at calming down his over-protectiveness however, as she’s got a bit of a gift for knowing just what to say. He and Alba named their daughter together, with Yuusuke suggesting they give her a ‘hopeful’ name and Alba suggesting Nadia as it means ‘hope.’

Ten facts about Caleb!!

10 Facts About Caleb Moore

  1. He has his mother Flannery’s red hair, though his is more on the ginger side, having some orange tints to it rather than being just red. He doesn’t know what his other parent looked like (they being just someone his mom hooked up with), nor does he particularly care, but he assumes his lighter hair and green eyes come from them, as Flannery has red eyes.
  2. He loves wearing both scarves and bandannas despite the Hoenn heat. While tying a cloth around his forehead isn’t that weird since he helps out at the hot springs and it can function as a sweatband, the scarves he has no excuse for other than liking how they look. While he sometimes will go without a bandanna, the scarf is constant enough his friends grow concerned when he isn’t wearing it.
  3. He was a somewhat lonely child, there not being many other children his age in Lavaridge. While he was friendly with most of the other residents he didn’t have many close friends. As a result, a lot of his personality is a bit of a facade, as he acts cheerful and open just since that’s what got people to like him (and the older people there on vacation would give him sweets for being ‘such a nice young man’). In reality he’s on the more reserved side, with a sharp wit and fondness for snide comments. After going on his journey and meeting more people, he opens up more and ends up making his first friends.
  4. He likes to give people nicknames, whether they want them or not. Some of these for his closer friends include ‘Opes’ for Opal, ‘Scully’ for Layla, ‘Aurory’ for Aurora, ‘Alietta’ for Alba, ‘Eyebrows’ for Harry, the ‘Terrible Trio’ for the Pendragon triplets, and ‘Red Bean’ for Neal (due to his hair color). He’s also one of the very few people Yuusuke tolerates calling him by his given name, Lyndon. Caleb abuses this privileged readily, often calling him ‘Lyndie’.
  5. Opal is his closest friend, the two meeting on their respective journeys. The rest of his friend circle met through happenstance and random encounters and each of have a different story to tell for how they all became friends. Caleb claims it was his ‘magnetic personality’ that drew such different people from all different regions together.
  6. He’s very physically affectionate and rather flirtatious, often slinging his arm over people’s shoulders and greeting them with a hug. He does keep in mind if someone’s uncomfortable with that however – he never wants to take his teasing too far and end up hurting someone. Once he starts dating Layla, however, he does tone down the ‘flirting with everyone’ quite a bit and mainly just flirts with his girlfriend (though he’ll still jokingly flirt with his other friends.)
  7. Though he might act the part of an airheaded, chatty fool half the time, Caleb is quite smart and has a voracious appetite for knowledge – in no small part thanks to books being his main source of entertainment as a child. He also enjoys coming up with strategies and one of his favorite parts of being a Gym Leader is figuring out how to adapt to his opponents and keep them on their toes.
  8. He hates spicy food, which his friends regularly point out the irony of considering he’s a fire type Gym Leader. He argues that his favorite food is grilled meat, so that’s befitting enough of a fire type specialist that everyone can over look his hatred of spicy things.
  9. He sleeps. A lot. Both a full night’s rest plus naps during the day. He claims it’s from growing up in such a lazy and laid back town that makes him so sleepy. He tends to drink a lot of coffee to clear any lingering drowsiness, which usually just makes him more eager and chipper than usual (Opal often complains about ‘Coffee Caleb’ since nobody should be that happy that early in the morning.)
  10. He claims to have a photographic memory. Nobody’s been able to confirm or deny this, but the general agreement is that, photographic or not, Caleb does have a very good memory. Generally what he finds worth remembering are random trivia and things he can use for blackmail against his friends (he remembers when Yuusuke wouldn’t lend him his umbrella and he had to walk home in the rain… Yuu might not remember but Caleb does…)

What causes to Conway and Holly to divorced ?

· Leave a comment ·

I am still figuring out the specifics of their relationship, but for now I can say that they just had an incompatibility as a couple. Despite the initial attraction, in the long run they just weren’t suited to living together or being in a long-term relationship, so after around a year of fighting, avoiding each other, and the like they decided divorce was the best bet. Conway got custody of their children, Maria and Ilya, as he had always been the more attentive parent of the two. Maria and her mother don’t get along at all, so she never meets up with Holly, but Ilya was closer with her so he stays at her place on weekends occasionally.

You might be wondering ‘what about their third kid that’s listed on the family page?’ Well, despite a domestic relationship not working out, Conway and Holly remain on decent enough terms to find that getting together once and while to ‘catch up’ still works just fine. Andrei was the result of one of these meetings, so he’s the surprise baby born after the divorce. He lives with his father like the rest of his siblings and like Ilya visits his mother perhaps once a month or every other month or so.

Any endgame ships for Cameron and Shannon?

· Leave a comment ·

I honestly hadn’t really thought about them that much up until now so…. let’s say that they’re a couple. Shannon is a distant cousin of Iris’ in mine as well as her childhood friend, both being descendants of House Pendragon. Cameron is probably way too young to be a proper rival to Ash, but I can see him being eager to challenge and emulate the older trainer anyways. He and Shannon live in Opelucid with their two children, a daughter named Merle and a son named Colm, who likely grow up as childhood friends to Iris and Benga’s children.
