Main Four Family Trees

Like a year ago I started making a big family tree for this verse after Pkmn Down the Line did some (they’re on twitter and used to be on the profiles if anyone’s curious!), then promptly got distracted by something else. I got the urge to return to it, realized I now hated how it looked, so just decided to start from scratch!

To start out, I kept it simple with just the main four kids and their parents and siblings, but I definitely plan on doing more when I have the time here and there!

I think they’re pretty straight forward, the only thing I’ll mention is that the purple line means the kid (in this case Emery and Bal) is adopted.

Do you have any headcanons for Green/Red, Barry/Lucas, and Hugh/Nate?

Absolutely I do!

Green/Red

  • Green is the one who managed to get Red to come down from Mt. Silver by somehow beating him in a pokémon battle. Red was so stunned by his loss he just kind of followed Green back to civilization. This is the only time Green has ever beaten Red in a battle to this day.
  • Roy was already born when the couple visit Alola in the SuMo games and was about 10 or so months old (give or take.) And yes, they brought Roy with them! Leaf and Yellow (along with baby Amaryllis) also went to Alola and ended up having to babysit Roy a lot because of Green and Red’s frequent trips to the Battle Tree, whoops.
  • Red is technically unemployed, as he doesn’t really want to officially apply to be a professional pokémon trainer due to annoying bureaucracy. He still regularly seeks out strong people to battle with though, so his skills never go rusty and also because he thinks “stay at home dad” sounds way more boring than “Multiple Hall-of-Famer Professional Pokémon Trainer.”
  • They are a very sappy couple who like to show off how in love they are, though most of that’s Green being smug (”Look at me and my husband!”) while Red just goes along with it.
  • Green likes to think he’s a super cool dad who their sons will see as a role model but more often than not they go to Red for advice instead. Whenever this happens Green ends up pouting and needs to be comforted by his husband.

Barry/Lucas

  • A couple where people sometimes wonder how they got together due to how different they are. Definitely a very wholesome case of opposites attract.
  • Since Lucas was Rowan’s assistant, the two didn’t really meet until they were around 13 and didn’t interact much until after the events of DPPt. They met by chance at the Battle Frontier and when Lucas mentioned he wanted to improve his skills as a trainer Barry took him under his wing as a “Professional Battle Frontier Tour Guide.” Their romance blossomed fairly quickly, though Barry was pretty oblivious to his feelings while Lucas was realizing that subtle flirting wasn’t going to cut it in this case.
  • Dawn officiated their wedding and got trained to do so especially for her childhood best friend.
  • By the fankid era, Barry is a Frontier Brain like his father before him and Lucas has taken over from his mentor Rowan as Sinnoh’s regional professor, though he still has trouble getting used to being called Professor Hawthorn!
  • While they only planned on having one child, mainly due to how much of a handful Gavin was, they end up adopting Balthazar by chance due to some unexpected circumstances. Namely, Barry helps Dawn (who is Sinnoh Champion) take down a Cult of Giratina after they kidnap Dawn’s daughter, Tanith. While there, they find a boy who was raised in the cult to be a sacrifice and now has nowhere to go. The kid got attached to Barry  so one thing leads to another and he and Lucas end up with another son (Barry claims that Balthazar being blond and having a long name like him was a Sign that he was meant to be part of their family from the start.)

Nate/Hugh

  • Though Nate wasn’t the BW2 protag, he and Hugh were still childhood friends as he and Rosa are twins. They had quite a bit of romantic tension between them throughout middleschool, leading Rosa to urge them to try dating after getting fed up by hearing both her brother and best friend worry about the other’s feelings to her.
  • By the time the trio leave on their journey at 15, Nate and Hugh had been dating for about a year and a half.
  • Once it became clear that Team Plasma had returned, the two teamed up to fight them whenever they could, Nate mostly being worried about Hugh getting too angry.
  • Things reach a new level when, towards the end of their journey and when it’s looking like the final showdown with Plasma is approaching, Nate finds out he’s unexpectedly pregnant. While Nate himself is nervous due to his young age, he’s also excited and all the more motivated to defeat Plasma for the sake of his and Hugh’s child. Hugh, on the other hand, is incredibly nervous that Nate and the baby might get hurt now and ends up being rather overprotective of his boyfriend. This causes a bit of friction, but ultimately they’re able to work things out (with Rosa smoothing things over as usual whenever the two squabble.)
  • Glenn is born the summer after Ghetsis is finally defeated and Hugh and Nate stay in Aspertia for his first year or so, getting help from their parents and doing their best to raise him. At that, the two start looking for jobs so they can support their family, agreeing that whoever finds one first will take it, while the other will stay home to take care of Glenn. Hugh ends up getting unexpectedly scouted by Interpol, leading the family to move to Castelia, where they get married soon after.
  • Eventually, after Hugh gets promoted when Glenn is about 4, the family move to Opelucid to be closer to the League, which becomes their permanent home. When Glenn is about 6, they end up adopted their second child, Mindy, after her mother, Yancy, was looking for someone to adopt after she became unexpectedly pregnant. Glenn and Mindy are both handfuls but their parents love them (even if they hate each other lol)

Gavin: 5, 20, 28?

5. Does your OC have a role model or someone they idolize? How would they react to meeting them?
Gavin is a huge fan of Professor Sycamore’s work! He met the professor once when he was a child and that’s what inspired the idolization. Sycamore was in Sinnoh for a research conference and stopped by Lucas and Barry’s house to chat with the Sinnoh Professor before they went to the day’s meetings, so Gavin had the chance to sneak into the conversation a bit and pepper the visiting professor with questions about Kalos pokémon and his research. Sycamore was impressed enough with Gavin’s curiosity that he promised him he’d help get him a Key Stone if he was interested down the line. Ever since that day, Gavin has dedicated himself to becoming a good researcher, hoping that Sycamore will uphold his promise. He’s become so dedicated, in fact, that he actually focuses his studies on form changes in pokémon, similar to Sycamore’s work, though Gavin studies are not just limited to Mega Evolution, but also how pokémon’s looks and abilities change due to regional variations, weather changes, and the like. When (and it’s when, not if) he meets Sycamore again, he’s definitely planning on walking away with a Key Stone and the ability to finally study Mega Evolution hands on.

20. Your OC overhears someone talking smack about one of their friends. Do they come to their defense or get involved in any way?

Gavin likes to talk big about how he’d beat up anyone who says rude things about his friends, but in truth he’s too scared of getting insulted or beat up himself to directly do anything. His actual reaction would just be to run and tell whoever was being insulted about who was trash talking them and what they said. He’d then sit back and see what happens – if his friend does anything in retaliation or not. He denies it, but Gavin adores seeing drama unfold, as long as he doesn’t have to get involved (though he usually ends up getting dragged into it anyways by his friend group.)

28. Even if your OC doesn’t play video games, what do you think their favorite game/series would be?
Gavin would probably say that his favorite games are puzzle solving mystery games, or any visual novel or point-and-click style game with a deep plot and message, since he thinks that sounds like the “intellectual” answer, but in reality he’s barely played any games in those genres, and never to completion. He actually much prefers action games that require quick reflexes and coordination, such as first person shooters, fighting games, or combat-oriented RPGs and is very good at them, but is embarrassed to admit this since those kinds of games don’t “fit his image”. He doesn’t like multiplayer with voice chat though since anytime someone says something mean to him he gets upset enough he has to stop playing and then is afraid to start back up once he’s calmed down since someone might say something mean again.

Questions From Here

in order – Lucas, Barry, Dawn, Paulbecause memes are important too and these four have such a weird but wholesome dynamic in this AUmy Dawn isshe’swellshe’s Cyrus’s niece and takes after him, I think that sums it upBarry memes about her all the timeand she … Continue reading

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.
