It’s time again to draw fankids for gacha luck!! Current goal is sygna!Leon, so here’s the youngest of the PunkDragon kids, Charlie! (one guess as to who named him lol) Charlie is quite a bit younger than his siblings – 6 years younger than Nasrin … Continue reading
Blaine is Red and Leaf’s grandfather, you’re right! He has one child, a daughter named Scarlett, who left her home on Cinnabar Island to go on her pokémon journey to challenge the Kanto Gyms in the year 3584. During her journey she runs into Professor Samuel Oak’s son, Charlie, and his best friend, Aiden, who are travelling together. While Charlie was undertaking a junior research program during his journey, Aiden was a competitive trainer like Scarlett, so the two naturally became rivals. Aiden and Scarlett both had ambitions to become the Champion one day and while they competed, they also end up becoming friends, especially after Aiden unexpectedly helps save Scarlett’s life (which is also when her crush on him fully blooms – though it takes a while for Aiden to notice both that and his own feelings for her.)
The two end up dating and later get married. Scarlett moves to Pallet to be with her husband and the two have two children together – Red and Leaf. While both still had aspirations to become Champion, they both found that that goal was harder then they had thought when they were young. Scarlett ends up with health problems following Red’s difficult birth, which result in her needing to stay closer to home. She gets a job as a teacher for aspiring trainers at the local school. Aiden, meanwhile, gets a job as a trainer at the Viridian Gym, however when Red is 8 and Leaf is 6, he goes missing following his discovery of Team Rocket activity there. During these struggles, Blaine does his best to support his daughter and her family, though he can’t often leave Cinnabar due to his job as Gym Leader. He also, of course, ends up facing his grandchildren years later when they both go on their own journeys and is very proud of what strong trainers they’ve become. While Blaine was somewhat distant for them growing up, he is able to establish a better relationship with his grandchildren once they’re teens.
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!
