Tokio finally got a dub name (Horace) which means I can finally reveal something that’s been brewing for a while.

I fell in love with the idea of Goh/Gary while working on Jay’s story, but then fanart and talks with friends made me fall in love with Goh/Horace, so as I usually do I just compromised by making an ot3 relationship. Goh/Gary are married, but Horace is also there, and a very important part of their relationship to both of them and their kids. 

Yeah that’s right. Kids. Because I gave them two more after Jay. Goh/Horace have a son 5 years younger than Jay named Timothy (a pun on “time” originating with my own speculation on what Horace’s dub name might be haha). He’s on the sickly side and stays with his dads to help their research rather than travel. Finally, Gary/Horace have a daughter name Lacey, who was named after her great-grandmother (Prof. Oak’s late wife). She’s a tomboy trainer who’s very energetic and a bit reckless. She likes to try and help out the rest of her family by catching rare pokémon… but most of the pokémon she catches aren’t actually all that rare. She’s doing their best though! 

Picrew design concept for Timothy and Lacey under the cut…

I’ve been rewatching some of the anime recently (mainly DP) and have come to the realization that it’s a Crime for me to have Ash and other anime characters in this verse and not Gary, even if I already have Green. So my tentative workaround right now is adding Gary as Green’s older brother (so he’s the middle child of the Oak family.) He’s of course Ash’s childhood rival and the two probably dated at some point since PalletShipping Is Good, but my endgame idea for him is maybe to pair him with Goh? So he’s maybe Jay’s stepfather and works at the Vermillion lab, while Green is in Pallet and they’re rival researchers or something. Ash’s exes get together it’s fun. Green and Red are of course still rivals and if their rivalry was similar to Gary and Ash’s … well that’s how it is sometimes. I think Gary and Green are different enough it could work. This might change, but it’s something I’m trying out so if you see Gary listed on the blog that’s why.
