WE'VE FINALLY DONE IT FOLKS. It is THE FINAL CHAPTER IN HISUI.
Billy Mayes voice: but I'm not done yet!
Stay tuned for an EPILOGUE as well as a special project to ring in my next fanfic! This is far from the last we will see of Volo and Haru.

Possibly the last WIP Wednesday because this chapter is almost finished and the epilogue is next. We're almost there y'all.
Arceus changed to the fairy type.
Mu crashed to the ground hard enough to shake the arena, laid low by a fairy type judgment, and Volo swore. He recalled the Garchomp and dove out of the way of a Draco Meteor. He rolled to his feet to see that Arceus had changed tactics, a scattershot of Judgment converged on him. He held his arms up defensively over his eyes, only to hear the sound of energy crashing against a solid object. He looked and a single pupil widened.
Phi stood protectively over him, and the delicate light of a Protect deflected projectile after projectile. All the fur on her back was on end and she growled low in her throat.
'Get up, Volo! I can't hold this forever!' she snapped, and his head jerked in the direction Wander was, to see that the detective had gotten to his feet, Phi's ball in hand. He swayed, but his eyes narrowed on Arceus. The detective still dripped blood and bits of ash, but he radiated a cold fury as, while Arceus was focused on breaking through Phi's detect, he sent out Beta. She immediately flattened her ears at the sight of her trainer in such a state, but he held a finger to his mouth. They needed to be discreet.

Decided to post a WIP of chapter 18 bc it's been a month and I'm slowly cracking away at it despite being super fuckin sick for the past week.
He noticed a flicker of movement and grinned when he saw Volo's Lucario catch the pokemon by surprise with a crunch to the shoulder from behind. Landorus roared angrily and tried to shake off the canid only for Phi to hit it in the chest with a psychic that left it staggered. He took a step forward, but Landorus managed to throw the Lucario off and retreat a dozen more paces from them. Wander's smile faded at that and Phi fell into step beside him as he circled the deity, which eyed them warily.
"Okay, let's try this again, then. Clearly he's feeling stubborn today." Wander deadpanned, and looked up when Volo and his Lucario joined him.
"Good thinking with the surprise attack from Lucario. Now if we can just pull that off again. let's see…" his eyes skimmed over the surroundings, and they were much closer to the treeline now. There was more cover, less room to work, but less avenue of escape as well. His gaze drifted past the treeline towards the shore, and slowly a smile tugged at his lips that made Volo shiver.
He knew that look, Wander was up to something, the detective was cunning in battles in a way that was, quite frankly, terrifying. He'd heard from both the man and Ingo about how their culture revolved around battles and thrived from competition, but it nevertheless unsettled him to see the man look anything but cool and collected. Volo was just glad that they were on the same side now.
Wander: smiles menacingly while strategizing

Love and relationships
Music droned quietly through the speaker that sat on the arm of their couch, and Wander sighed from where he'd flopped and stared up at the ceiling for the past twenty minutes while the majority of Lyric's breakup playlist played.
"So... Kellyn broke up with me." He said, and Lyric whirled to stare at him, surprise colored her tone.
"Fuck, I'm sorry Haru-- but... Wait, you were dating???" She asked, and Wander dragged a hand over his face.
"Apparently?! At least that's what he believed we were doing. I... I don't know, Lyric. I just thought this was a fling, no strings attached its what we'd agreed on. He said some shit, and I'm not sure I can say he was wrong."
He rubbed at a growing migraine, and Lyric reached out to play with his hair. He closed his eyes and relaxed into the touch.
"He said I was distant, and that I cared more about my work than about him." Lyric frowned slightly. She tugged lightly at a lock of his hair and he swatted at her hand.
"Well... You are both those things Haru, but I know it takes more than that to get you this fucked up. What else happened?"
He chewed at his lip and didn't say anything for a long moment.
"He... Got angry when I didn't argue the point. Maybe he thought if he started an argument he could've gotten me to show some hidden feelings? He called me a cruel bastard. And that hurt... But then he... Said some shit about da-- about Looker." Lyric's eyes narrowed at that, and she prodded Wander to continue.
"He asked if Looker disappeared before he could find out what a loveless freak he adopted." He said quietly, and didn't need to look at Lyric to know those words immediately pissed her off.
"Oh he's dead." She growled, and immediately tapped her phone to skip the song to something more appropriate to her mood. Wander returned to staring up at the ceiling even as the speaker began to whine out an electric guitar being shredded.
"What if he's right though? Maybe there is something legitimately wrong with me?" He asked, and that moment of vulnerability was something only Lyric had ever been shown.
"Haru... Do you think there's something wrong with me for not wanting anything more than the flings I can get at a bar or club?" Wander immediately shook his head. She was a grown woman if she wanted to flirt with as many other women as possible that was her choice.
"And do you think I'm a shitty person because I sleep with Marin and Sunita but don't look for the kind of relationship they have?"
"No...?"
"So why the fuck would I think you're messed up in the head just cuz you don't love a bag of dicks like Kellyn?!" She snapped and Wander yelped when she pinched his cheek and pulled.
"You were up front about what you wanted out of a relationship! And that was that there was no relationship! Like-- look." She sat up and dragged Wander up with her.
"Did Munīn get pissy when you only went home with him twice?" Wander shook his head, and the beginnings of an embarassed flush crept up his neck.
"And did Hazel throw a tantrum when you went out clubbing with us and he saw you kiss another dude?" Wander cringed as she boldly dragged his past flings into the conversation.
"No... He said later that he was into it." Wander muttered, and Lyric snorted a laugh.
"And when you [redacted] his-- MMMPH!" Lyric immediately struggled when Wander covered her mouth, face red as tomatoes.
"I THINK YOU'VE SAID ENOUGH! I GOT THE PICTURE, STOP." He snapped and she pulled his hand away and laughed at him. Once he'd calmed down, she leaned against him in a half-hug.
"Listen Haru, you're fucking amazing and any guy that gets even one night with you is a lucky bastard. So what if you aren't in love with these guys? It's not like you led them on! Besides anyone that actually knows you knows how much finding the old man means to you. If he can't handle that then that's a him problem. Maybe one day you'll find some dude that's on some next level shit and fall in love, but even if you don't that's not a reflection on your character. Now c'mon... You cant just lay on the couch and listen to Olivia Rodrigo for an hour, let's go do something fun! I taught Voodoo sucker punch, maybe we can get the jump on those train dudes and win this time."
Wander huffed a laugh and nodded. He let her pull him to his feet and grabbed his three pokemon best suited for multi-battles. Sure that some good fights will get his mind off the things his now-ex had said.
Lyric flipped open her phone while she waited for him by the elevator.
"Hey Marin. Wanna go key some douchebag's car with me later?"

Ok so I saw @flower-seller wanted to hear more about Wander and that really made the desire to be normal about shit and the desire to Infodump about my blorbos go to war with each other so here's this: infodumping but with illustrations. Under a cut bc longgg. The pictures make it longer but just text feels wrong.
(Wander's actual name is Haruko btw, Wander was his codename and also kind of an apt nickname)
Tumblr media
Haru learned Alphian Celestican written language from a very young age due to constantly playing in the ruins of Alph unsupervised. The unown were his friends and he spent hours exploring and generally entertaining himself during his time at Violet City Group Home.
Tumblr media
This lasted until age 7 when he was adopted, which he was very excited about. What child doesn't want a loving family? His friends were very sad to see him go, but they knew this was important for him.
Tumblr media
But not everyone who adopts a kid does it for good reasons. Standing out for being different puts a target on you for different reasons, and some people refuse to believe that children are autonomous little people with their own desires. Haru's first memories were at Celebi's shrine and between that and the Ruins of Alph he very quickly developed an interest in Johto's myths and legends.
Mori, Ayumu was a strict man in his late thirties, and he saw Haruko as more of a pet project than a son. Someone to mold to his own designs, and he had little patience for frivolities like folktales and myths. He collected shiny Pokemon as well as even rarer color mutations (albinism, melanism, piebald), but his crown jewel was a shiny liepard named Kronos.
The 'proper boys haircut' that was forced on Wander was the first of plenty of situations that gave him a serious aversion to touch.
Tumblr media
But abuse has a habit of being revealed sooner or later and after three years Haru was returned to the VCGH. He was a lot more withdrawn for a while, and then a series of altercations began.
Tumblr media
Bullying has always been a thing children do but it ramped up for Haru when he was adopted and then later returned, and a switch flipped in his brain, leading to a serious aggressive streak. These occurrences only grew more often as he got older and reached the age range that's generally considered hardest to get adopted in. The caretakers at VCGH decided the best course of action would be to transfer him to the Group Home in Olivine City at age 13, three years after he was returned.
Tumblr media
He stayed at OCGH for almost two years, but the month before his 15th birthday he ran, which he'd been preparing to do for months. His goal was to get to goldenrod, and figure the rest out then.
Ironically despite having no trainer ID or anything, he does catch a venonat at the national park on the way.
Tumblr media
Blueberry is his precious baby, a Tinted Lens + Modest nature venonat that grew attached to him after he fed it. He technically didn't have a PokeBall for her for like two weeks, but it's Johto and people walk with their pokemon out all the time.
Tumblr media
Goldenrod is a big city that's easy to get lost in, and even when you stand out like Wander does, nobody is going to bat an eye at another 'trainer' hanging around the underground. Money is hard to come by especially when you aren't a legal trainer, and being functionally homeless for several months made Team Rocket's offer of food, a place to stay, and payment pretty enticing.
Tumblr media
His first impression of Lyric was someone aggressively friendly, and pushy. But they very quickly became ride or die together, and they consider each other the sibling they never had. Lyric was honestly the first person Wander honestly gave a damn about, since he felt a pretty strong disconnect with other people.
Tumblr media
During the raid on Rocket Headquarters, Wander and Lyric got the younger kids roped into team rocket shit out, but had the misfortune of getting caught on a stairwell by Petrel, and lance caught up to them.
Lance, a person that canonically ordered his Dragonite to use hyperbeam on a human being. Petrel sent out his pokemon, Lance's Dragonite used hyperbeam, and it batted aside the pokemon and kept going.
Wander shoved Lyric out of the line of fire, and it connected and went past his shoulder.
Wander is a person that understands that while pokemon are dangerous, it's their trainers that make things deadly. There's a reason his policy is "if you have a problem with a person, solve it with your own damn hands."
He was slapped with a gag order in return for a lighter sentence and was dragged off to Sinnoh, which set things in motion all the way to his being dragged to Hisui.

@flower-seller Wander isnt rendered speechless that often, but the Ransei era lord Volo outfit would be one of those movements. His brain is making dialup noises just give him a sec.

Holy shit this made my day ajshwhdhddh the little Wander and Euphorbia killed me
Wander might be overwhelmed, two Volos might be too much Volo for him to deal with at one time. Our fav merchant is absolutely a handful to deal with.
Tumblr media
@jordemme-draws I couldn’t resist a companion piece with the Volos! Good lord seeing them side by side is wild, but HSBDJDJD
Listen, they would probably be insufferable in each other’s presence. I can’t guarantee FS!Volo wouldn’t actually bite the shit out of MP!Volo but they’re existing for the time together
