today marks one year since the release of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, so i wanted to draw something for it. based on one of my favorite little "secrets" i discovered while playing the game

Happy 1st Anniversary Pokémon Legends Arceus!!

Yes, this is a Gintama reference. The legend. The anime ever.

I just wanted to recreate this particular scene with pokémon characters, but then people got so confused on Twitter (which was kinda the point), I came up with this silly context:

"Knowing Ingo's whereabouts, Emmet makes his way to the past by some unorthodox mean and finds himself in Jubilife Village. There he's escorted to Galaxy headquarters where Kamado is shocked to see "young Ingo" which leads to Emmet asking his whereabouts. Kamado, who's suspicious of these space-time-strangers (if they're actually a threat & if Ingo has been faking his amnesia for some devious cause), personally escorts Emmet to Pearl Clan's settlement in Alabaster Icelands where Ingo was last seen (visiting Irida). The clan members tell he left the village with a funnily dressed merchant just a moment ago. Emmet & Kamado follow their footprints deep into the wilderness until they find Ingo and Volo having a conversation (Emmet remembers seeing timetravelling Volo visiting the station a couple of times just days before Ingo's disappearance). Ingo sees Emmet and is very confused, doesn't realise who he is immediately (suspects him a zoroark illusion) while Volo is surprised to see Emmet there and doesn't want him to ruin his plans. Altercation between them follows which leads to Emmet challenging Volo to a pokémon battle. The fighting gets rough, somehow Kamado ends up KO'd as a collateral damage. Meanwhile Ingo is watching the two duke out and suddenly his memories start rushing back all at once and gets so overwhelmed he collapses and starts sliding down a snowy slope; Emmet & Volo see this and run after him. Volo trips Emmet and reaches Ingo first; then Volo gets this crazy idea for an easy escape and hops on his back. Emmet makes a quick decision to copy him and boards Kamado." And so the race starts! His shouting echoes through the icy wilderness... "BLAST OFF!" "FULL SPEED AHEAD!"

TL;DR: I thought it was funny Had I never played Legends Arceus, I would not be here gushing about these two silly train men with you to no end. I really hope there will be more Legends games, and of course, that they would conclude Ingo's story eventually. There's a lonely blorbo somewhere in the universe who needs his twin brother back! Legends Celebi is very potential in terms of the whole time traveling theme... keeping a sharp eye on the future!

“I made friends with a few at Alabaster Icelands! They tend to be quite friendly.” -

I will never live down my failure with the snowball fight with the kids on Alabaster Icelands. Their children's children will know the story, point, and laugh at the city kid from the future's downfall.

A relaxing time in the Snowfall Hotsprings of Alabaster Icelands 😊

Featuring @that_dork_chris‘s Abel!

I used my bird to punch some monkeys and he seemed fine when I came back, but then my game crashed not long after that so?????

Maybe don’t wander too far into the icelands...

Art for @heat--end of her Irida and Dawn on a date together! ❤️ I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of wild Pokemon gathered around to listen to these two's music, I bet they make a great duo!

This scene was put together by Shiny Hunter Wulfenite,

Evan and Kirin the Suicune relax in the snow, taking in the momentous occasion for the short while that it lasted.

The colors in the sky are worth freezing up in the peaks, especially with a particular Pokémon that enjoys them the most!

If ya can’t stand the heat, then . . . uh . . . step away from the Rapidash.
