i’m sleep deprived so it’s sad au time - if i am unable to sleep for more than 4 hours at a time because of bs calls then everyone else gets to be sad too.

akari dying after her exile and becoming a zorua/zoroark is one of my favorite aus, however one version of this i haven’t seen is an au where beni successfully kills akari on her way up to the temple of sinnoh. (ik he doesn’t explicitly say he’s trying to do that in the game but that’s how i interpret the whole “kamado told me to get rid of you” lines from the game)

she’s on her way to meet irida, adaman, ingo and sneasler, and kamado when benji strikes. he stops her in her tracks and, shocked by the transformation, is able to send out a pokémon to get her. he send out gallade, who gets the upper hand on her and stabs into her stomach. akari collapses, and beni apologizes once more before changing back to his normal outfit and checking to make sure there was no blood visible, leaving to go tell kamado the news immediately after.

outside, he finds kamado and the leaders/ingo just kind of staring at each other. needless to say the other 3 are pissed at his friend, and that’s about to get a whole lot worse if he says what he’s done out loud. their heads snap to him as he nears, and he just gives kamado a sharp nod with a blank look on his face. kamari’s expression tightens before he nods back, much to the confusion of the others around him.

lady sneasler suddenly starts growling and trying to go after beni, much to the shock of the others. beni knows it’s because the pokémon can smell akari’s blood even after his cleaning, and so does her best to avoid her while her warden tries to stop her. this doesn’t go on for more than a few moments, as they’re cut off by something coming from the passage that beni had just come through - a howl full of pain, sadness, and anger.

while beni was doing his thing, akari had been dying. she felt a whirlwind of emotions flow through her - pain, for she knew how this would effect her dad ingo, and those she had grown close to. sadness, for she didn’t want to die without knowing who she was, or what her future could be. eventually, as she started to feel more sleepy and faint, her vision started to go dark. right as she died, the emotions swirling around all suddenly came into sharp clarity - she was furious.

everyone watches in horror as a figure emerges holding akari’s body. the figure looks like akari, but just slightly…. off. as if it can’t quite keep itself together. wisps of malice come off the new zorua, akari’s hair seeming to float around her, much lighter blue at the tips. the area above her eyes is the same blue, almost like she’s wearing eyeshadow. the most noticeable change, however, are her eyes. they’re bright yellow, filled with fury, and staring at kamado and beni.

ingo is the first to catch on, suddenly realizing why his noble was so angry, and goes to swing at them. lady sneasler, however, holds him back - she knows that this is akari’s time to go after the two, not her warden’s. although, she does definitely share the sentiment. adaman and irida look pissed as well, however can’t seem to tear their eyes from their friend. for the first time, beni and kamado are absolutely terrified.

almost as if she can sense it, akari grins at the two, far too sharp teeth being bared at them. she continues towards them, only stopping once she gets a few feet away. she carefully places her body down, eyes not leaving the two galaxy clan members as she does. she stands up straight, and continues to stare, seemingly planning her next move.

kamado and beni tense, and prepare to fight. however, akari is still akari, even with this newfound anger, and simply says one thing - “leave or else you’ll meet the same fate i did. i will not ask twice.” they hesitate, however akari takes another step forward and they bolt back towards the tunnels.

ingo immediately hugs her, which she gladly returns. he’s still absolutely destroyed by the fact that she was killed, however she’s still here, and that’s all that matters right now. irida and adaman don’t hesitate to hug her the second that ingo lets go. they break apart, and after a moment of silence, they call out some of their pokémon.

even though the almighty sinnohs await them, they take a moment to lay akari’s body to rest, making a simple headstone to mark the grave. they will have time to freak out later, however first they have to fix the red sky.

after, akari will do her best to go to jubilife as little as possible. if she does, she has no qualms with transforming into a zorua and menacing those who may still go after her, as well as purposely mess with kamado and beni. she tends to stay with ingo or the clans, and even befriends the groups or zorua and zoroark in the icelands.

it’s hard, but she learns to live with the constant simmering anger, to not let it explode out and hurt someone on accident. instead, she hones it, learning how to use it to her advantage.

she does eventually return to the present with ingo, living in unova with him and his family. she may remember her past now, but that akari died on top of mount coronet 2 years prior. they do take a trip to sinnoh eventually, where ingo and akari learn that the clans continued to tell others the stories of the warden from the sky, and the sky faller who turned into a pokémon. her grave is still atop the mountain, meticulously cared for by generations of clanspeople from both sides. she returns to unova much happier when she sees how little kamado and beni survived the test of time - almost all records only showing their misdeeds.

as she gets older, the blue goes purple, and one day she wakes up as a zoroark instead. she takes this in stride, adjusting her form appropriately. however she absolutely uses this to scare her dad, uncle, and aunt. she may have died, but that was no excuse not to live her newfound life to the fullest. especially since the unovan zorua and zoroark flock to her and her with pranks lol

Reactions to the baby news! As I mentioned before Emmet couldn’t have been happier to learn that he was gonna be an uncle in fact he got so excited he passed out! Elesa heard Ingo saying he was going to be a father and left before he had finish talking to baby shopping! I mean her future niece has to be just as fashionable as her right?

Johana and Ingo both were happy to learn that soon going to be entering their entertaining and crazy lives. Even though they didn’t end up staying together due to their careers, they both teamed up to make sure Dawn would have a great and happy life.

Sorry this took time to get out! I’m dealing with a baby kidney infection and a badly scratch eye so I have been able to get anything done. Sorry for any misspellings since I can’t wear my glasses due to my eye.

anyways PLA roleswap where Akari is an adult and the Champion of Sinnoh when she’s yeeted into the past, loses her memories and becomes Sneasler’s Warden and Ingo is a 15 year old in the middle of his Pokemon journey when he gets yeeted and gets taken in by the Galaxy Team. Elesa and Emmet just wake up one morning to find Ingo missing from the Pokemon Center they were spending the night in, but his Pokemon are all still there.

#pla akari #ingo #submas #emmet #elesa #does he still have amnesia? maybe. probably. it's more fun if he does #i mean. not for the characters. but for me #aunt akari..#her signature item that she won't let go of would be her scarf

Grown up Rosie! She becomes a Pokemon professor! She focuses mainly on studying the various legendary Pokemon and myths of every region, but she also studies wormholes, general history, and archeology. After what had happened to Ingo, she wants to make sure it won't happen to anyone else. She also tries to help in missing persons cases by looking into history books to see if anyone got dealt a similar fate to her father.

Along with her research, she also loves helping new trainers pick their Pokemon. She hands out the typical fire, water, and grass types as options, but she also offers Joltiks as options. She gets the Joltiks directly from her Uncle Emmet, professional Joltik breeder.

Oh, and Ingo and Emmet are certainly not retired from running the subway just yet. They're not that old, even if Rosie likes to joke that they are (mainly cuz they're both balding). They're still the Subway Bosses, and Rosie is often found at the subway, either hanging out with her dad and uncle, helping lost passengers find their way around the subway, or she often likes to challenge herself in the Battle Subway.

She does also have a Subway Boss coat that she wears around for fun when she's not working.

Bonus: Rosie likes giving her dad kisses on his giant bald forehead.

Ok yet another random Pokémon Arceus AU/fic prompt idea where when Akari gets exiled and everyone is pissed that Kamado says can’t help her but Irida gets an idea of a loophole as Wardens families are protected so straight up goes and picks up Akari and when Kamado gets pissed

Irida:Sorry Commander but families of my wardens are protected so Akari can stay with us as Warden Ingo is her father

Akari:…what?

Ingo*Instantly catching on and totally ready to adopt Akari anyway*:Yes she is my daughter

Kamado:...You can’t adopt her after she’s been exiled that is not allowed

Ingo:No she was already my daughter

Kamado :*grasping at straws* Well adoption wouldn’t count as

Irida: *Not giving him any wiggle room* No she’s his biologically

Akari:What?

Kamado: How do you know? I thought you had amnesia

Ingo:*Happily playing along* It got better

Irida: Yep, he just remembered... so unless you want to declare war with Pearl clan over keeping a child of our clan from us then we’ll be taking Akari home

Kamado:....

Irida: Also fuck you

Kamado seeing if he can find loophole but everyone Pearl clan and Diamond clan agreeing and playing along Melli even being like ‘yes the idiot warden has been talking about his child none stop who didn’t know she was his child they’re both as annoying as each other ect ect’

At some point people aren’t sure if they’re playing along or it’s serious but eh who cares she’s his kid that much is obvious.

Just everyone agreeing they’re father and daughter and Akari just chilling with pearl clan. Akari not actual sure if they’re serious or not but fuck it Ingo is basically her dad anyway sooo yeah free dad and not exiled and Kamado is fucking pissed.

Cyllene is loving it he’s so angry and she’s just like ‘oh of course Akari was Warden Ingo’s daughter did I not mention that?’ she thinks he might actually have a stroke he’s getting so pissed and she is ready to take other the galaxy team when that happens.

They show back up in their time and Emmet is just like brother back and free niece awesome

Emmet: Hey Elesa guess what Ingo’s back

Elesa: WHAT EMMET ARE YOU SERIOUS?

Emmet: Indeed, also congratulations you are an aunt

Elesa:....

Elesa:WHAT???

Yearning for Wood Floors

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just a little short story about @critterbitter's hc of Elesa. This is not too long after her and her dad immigrated to Unova. Elesa is def not bitter about it, I promise 🤞

I'll probably post this to AO3 and I'll update this when I do.

Enjoy!~

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The floor was scuffed and dry, practically ancient judging by each crunch that crackled up Elesa’s spine with each step. The varnish looked more like those potato chips that were served in brightly colored bags at lunch. Yellowish, opaque flecks that made the room feel neglected at best and abandoned at worst.

Floors back in Sinnoh never looked like this.

Elesa’s frown deepened as she toed some of the loose chips at her feet, a spray of prehistoric resin sailed across the room. She stifled a sigh. It was kind of sad really. She remembered the wood floor at her cousin’s house, their mom always kept the floors spotless, and whatever cleaner she used made the house smell fresh and clean.

Things weren’t like this back in Sinnoh.

Aunt Johanna, like every other adult in Sinnoh, had everyone take their shoes off at the door. Elesa was used to padding around in her socks or bare feet, but Aunt Johanna bought her little Pachirisu slippers to wear around her house. That had to help keep the floors nice and clean from whatever was being trekked in from outside. It made sense. Meanwhile, Elesa watched the water puddle on the floor at her dad’s feet from his brogues. The rain had soaked into his laces.

That wouldn’t have happened in Sinnoh.

…

She missed the fuzzy Pachirisu slippers at her cousins’ house.

Elesa’s face scrunched up, her mouth thinning as she tried to suppress the flash of anger she felt toward her dad. He and the woman behind the desk were still talking – not that she could hear, she turned her aids off about ten minutes ago when the adults started getting into the paperwork. Even if her aids were on, it’s not like she could understand them. She didn’t understand Galarian.

Another stupid reason to bring her to Unova.

This office – what had her dad called it? – Unovan Disability Services, it seemed like a forgotten department in the government building. Elesa had pressed close to her father as they waded through the subways, up to pavement level, and through the dense crowds to this innocuous building by the harbor. The crowds were loud and made her feel claustrophobic.

There were so many people here compared to Sinnoh.

This woman was their assigned agent, her assigned agent, and she was here to help Elesa navigate this new environment while she learned Galarian. Elesa flicked her eyes up to the metal name plate. Her blue eyes narrowed ever so slightly in her attempt to read. The strokes and dots looked too limited next to the symbols for kanji she was familiar with.

“This is the agent, Talbot-san.”

What was written had to be her name. It had to be. What else could it be? Elesa might know what the letters said Talbot, but that didn’t mean she really grasped their significance. She offered Talbot-san a smile that didn’t really make in past her eyes, which prompted a sympathetic tut from the woman. Probably because she knew Elesa didn’t understand but might have wrongly assumed she was shy or nervous.

Elesa was mad. She didn’t want to be here. She wanted to go home.

She didn’t understand why she couldn’t stay with her mother. Probably because her mother was busy with her work as a ranger. Headquarters deployed her all over the country and sometimes outside it to Fiore or Almia to help teach new rangers or to help with relief efforts after major disasters with displaced people and Pokémon. Elesa wouldn’t be allowed to stay at home alone or to go with her mother due to the nature of her work.

Aunt Johanna, Dawn, and Lucas came over to help them pack. Her dad didn’t even help at all really, Aunt Johanna did most of the work and scolded Elesa when she got frustrated with her dad. Her aunt had sighed and knelt down, lightly gripping her shoulders and giving her a sad smile.

Elesa knew what divorce was, but that wasn’t the hard part. The hard part was understanding why.

“I know you’re upset, but please be patient with your father.”

She wouldn’t understand until later that her dad was heartbroken about his Staraptor. The death of his starter and the divorce with his wife broke him. He needed to start fresh, and Elesa was dragged along for the ride.

Something nudged into her shin, her dad’s work shoes, and she looked up at him. Leaning down, her dad asked Elesa what kind of Pokémon she wanted. That was why they were here after all, to get a starter Pokémon that would be able to assist Elesa on her journey when the time came.

That time couldn’t come soon enough for Elesa.

She had plans to find her way back to Sinnoh no matter what it took.

He kept listing ones she didn’t know. As much as she tried not to let it show, her face screwed up in frustration, because her dad never listened to her. She had a favorite type. His wife knew (her mother had gotten her a novelty pin from the Sunyshore gym giftshop – she treasured that pin). His sister-in-law knew. Why didn’t he?

Why did he drag her here?

She didn’t want to be in Unova.

She missed Sinnoh.

“でんきタイプ.”

Electric.

That’s all she wanted.

Her dad must have conveyed that to Talbot-san because she clapped with delight and brought up a few options for her to pick from. She swiveled her computer monitor toward them. The computer whirred hard enough to be felt through the floorboards, evidently working hard to only show names and no images.

Blitzle

Emolga

Joltik

Tynamo

Elesa just picked the first one, pointing with her finger before returning her gaze to the ground. It didn’t really matter. She always wanted her starter to be a Pachirisu anyway. She stared down at these messy floors, cracked and brittle, and Elesa had to stop the sudden tears that were threatening to drip from the corners of her eyes.

She missed Aunt Johanna. She missed her cousins. She missed Sinnoh.

She missed when her feet didn’t crunch down on hardwood floors like they were browned leaves in the autumn.

Akari's introduction to her Aunt and Uncle

Emmet liked to think he'd been rolling with Ingo's new quirks and oddities fairly well over the last few months. Having to be reminded how to operate a coffee pot, modifying half of the nursery for the little sabertoothed poison-fighting types that seemed to cling to ever soft surface in the house, even his odd habit of never taking off his uniform.

But, this was a bit much.

Blinking at the small, silver-haired teenager standing beside Ingo bedecked in his worn to the distortions and back, Emmet tried to think of every partner he'd had in the last two decades that could have possibly produced a child as he stared at his brother. His head was currently wrapped in some sort of headkerchief for some reason, giving him the light appearance of the strange sneasels he was so fond of.

"Um... Watcha got there?" He finally asked, smile tight as he slid the groceries off his arm.

Ingo blinked at him before gesturing with the cup in his hand.

"A smoothie." He replied seamlessly.

"Ingo what the fuck?" Elesa finally spoke up.

Ingo, still recovering from his trip return to Hisui, finds himself alone at home, with only Fjord for company. Emmet, having to return to work at the station, and Caleb out with his Aunt Elesa shopping. the only two left is Ingo (who is still struggling with his memory) and Fjord (who had to stay home from the shopping trip because he had a bit of a cold) in an attempt to alleviated the boredom Ingo tries out the 'Gaming console' he's seen Emmet use a few times since they arrived, with Fjord.

A Father's Resolve - Ch 2

Ingo returns after a decade - with two extra cars in tow. Years later, his kids are swallowed up by time in the same way he was. Will he be able to find them? Will they be able to make it out alive?

Word Count: ~3600

The door burst open with a bang, not even waiting for someone to open it. "Where are my birthday kiddos?" a voice yelled into the house.

Rei and Akari scrambled into the living room from their respective rooms, running to hug her. "Hi, Aunt Elesa!"

She smothered them in a hug, ruffling both sets of silver hair. "Happy birthday, you rascals. How old are you now? Twenty-five?"

Rei scoffed. Despite going through this every year, he answered, "You know that we're turning twelve!"

Elesa dramatically put a hand to her head. "Oh my, now how could I have forgotten? You two are getting so old."

Akari nodded eagerly. "Dad said we might be able to begin our pokemon journey soon!"

"Yeah!" Rei added. "He said he might let us have our very own pokemon!"

"Oh that's exciting! Let's go in now, kids, it's a little hot out here." Elesa shut the door, keeping out the summer heat. Emmet waved to her from the couch, blowing up balloons with his mouth. Streamers hung around the house, in blue and red, intertwined.

"Who are we waiting on?" Elesa joined him by the couch as the twins ran off to their rooms again.

"Ingo is grabbing the cake right now. Drayden and Iris will be here soon."

"Perfect." She looked at the almost-empty pack of balloons. "How many of these have you blown up?"

"At least twenty." He blew hard into another plastic sack. He would never admit it, but he was beginning to feel a little light-headed. Several colorful balloons littered the living room floor. Even if the party did not have a lot of attendees, they always wanted the kids to have a fun birthday. They’d probably go talk to some of the friends they’d made the next day, Emmet figured. They’d been making friends with some of the neighborhood kids the last couple years. Those other kids were getting ready to start their pokemon journeys, too.

Emmet glanced at Elesa, then at the doorway to make sure no one was eavesdropping. “Do you have them?” he whispered to her.

She tapped her bag and nodded.

Emmet finished the bag of balloons right as there was a knock on the door. “Kids! Come get the door!” Elesa hollered. The quick thrum of footsteps ran to the door and thrust it open.

“Grunkle Drayden!” They flung themselves at him. A booming laugh came over the threshold as Drayden carried them inside, their legs dangling in the air. He was definitely still working out, Emmet noted. Though his mouth was hidden, one could easily see his smile.

“Hello, hello! Happy birthday, you two.” He set the twins down and looked around at the decor. “Ah, this reminds me of when you and Ingo were little, Emmet. Except I was the one on balloon duty,” he chuckled. He had on his usual uniform, right down to the suspenders.

“Don’t forget about your favorite cousin!” Iris swept into the house, wearing a simple sundress with pink and white accents. Her hair was braided behind her head, a typical bow in her hair. She also carried two boxes, one wrapped in blue, one red. Emmet blinked at her. It was actually nuts how much older she seemed every time he saw her. How old was she now? In her twenties? He remembered when she was a toddler, right after Drayden had adopted her. He and Ingo had been in their early twenties at the time, when Drayden had dropped by for an unexpected visit to introduce them to their new cousin. “Her mother is having a rough time, and her father walked out,” he had said as he held her, her chubby hands reaching out towards them to grasp their faces, “so I’ll be taking care of her from now on.”

“Iris!” Akari bolted up to her first. “Iris, you should see our rooms!”

“Yeah, we’ve been putting up posters since the last time you were here!”

“Let me set these down on the table, first,” she said. She had hardly released the boxes before the twins tugged on her wrists as she laughed, being dragged along down the hall.

“It’s been nice knowing you, Iris,” Elesa called behind her.

“They are big fans of hers, aren’t they?” Drayden asked, shutting the door.

“They love to brag that their cousin is the Champion to every other kid on the block,” Elesa grinned. “They think she’s the coolest person ever. Outside their amazing aunt, of course,” she smirked, looking at Emmet.

“But not to be outshone by their uncle,” Emmet retorted.

“Oh! Ingo’s here,” Drayden said, waving out the door. He stood in the doorway for a moment before Ingo hurried in, huffing and holding a large white box.

“Apologies for the delay, they were finishing up as I got there. Where are the kids?”

“They got a hold of Iris,” Elesa said.

“Perfect, then we have a moment.” Ingo looked to Elesa and lowered his voice. “You have them?”

“Emmet already asked,” she whispered. “I got them from Skyla yesterday and checked on them this morning. They’re ready.”

“Good, good,” Ingo said. He came over and took two objects from her, hiding them in a cabinet. “I have the other things in the closet. I don’t want them seeing until it’s time to open gifts. And please tell her I said thank you and to ask anytime she needs a favor.”

“They won’t see them in the closet?” Elesa asked.

“Not in mine, especially not guarded by a horde of Joltiks on a mission,” Emmet said, smirking. “They can be quite persistent.”

Elesa laughed. “You and your spiders.”

“Dad! Are you home?” Akari appeared in the hallway, peering in.

“Yes I am, cub.”

“Why do you call them that?” Emmet held Rei’s small hand as they walked down the sidewalk. They were all bundled up to protect from the cold of winter. It was time for Christmas shopping, and to get ideas, the brothers had thought to take the kids window shopping.

“Call them what?” Ingo held Akari in his arms as she pointed up at the glittering lights above a shop.

“Cubs.”

“Ah,” he said with a chuckle. “Part of my responsibility as Sneasler’s Warden was to help ensure her cub’s safety as they grew. And, well, once the children were born, I joked that they were my own little cubs. And the name just stuck.”

“I see.” Emmet followed Rei’s line of sight as he watched a little train set move in the window, following a circular track. He lifted the boy up so he could see better. His small mittens pressed against the glass, his large silver eyes watching the mesmerizing movement. He really did remind Emmet of himself and Ingo when they were little.

“Are we ready, then?” Drayden asked. “I believe everyone is here.”

Ingo ran to grab the candles and lit them as Elesa flicked off the lights. The twins hurried to their seats at the table, grinning.

Everyone joined in singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to them as Ingo lifted the cake gingerly out of the box and presented it to them. It was white, with blue border icing and red icing that read ‘Happy Birthday Akari & Rei!’ in swirly lettering. Together, they blew out the twelve candles on the cake.

After cake was present time. First they opened the matching gifts from Drayden and Iris. Inside each box was a backpack, Rei’s trimmed with red and Akari’s with blue. Both were mostly white, with the outline of a pokeball on the front. “It’s designed for distance use,” Drayden explained. “For now, they are for trips to other parts of the region, and in the future you can use them for your pokemon journey.”

They tried on the backpacks enthusiastically and tested the straps making them snug. Elesa clapped. “You’re starting to look like real Trainers now,” she said.

Emmet snuck away to his dresser and grabbed out two boxes as they were still playing around with the bags. He returned as they were thanking Drayden and Iris.

“Me next!” he announced, placing one of the boxes in front of each chair.

The two sat down and ripped into the boxes, each pulling out a matching device. “Our own Xtrans?” Rei asked in amazement. Emmet knew he’d wanted one for ages.

“Exactly,” Emmet said. “We can set them up after this. I just got black bands for you both for now, but there are more options if you’d like.”

Elesa was next up on the list for gifts. She set two large boxes on the table, one, as always, wrapped in blue, and the other in red. These each contained a jacket, not dissimilar in style to Elesa’s, but built for travel. Elesa showed them several pockets for storing things and explained how they were designed for rough use and keeping out the weather. They each tried them on. Rei’s was a deep burgundy with lighter reds around the trim. It zipped all the way up from the bottom and had a tall collar that could extend halfway up his neck. It fit well on him. Akari’s was almost identical, but hers was navy blue with lighter accent blues and had a white zipper. When paired with the backpacks, they truly did look like budding Trainers.

Last was Ingo. He held the two objects behind his back as the excitement died down. “Here, I have one of two things to give you. I want you to choose which one you take.” The twins cocked their heads at him as he said “Close your eyes.”

A hiss and a flash of light. Emmet’s grin broadened at the familiar sound as he saw two things materialize. He could see the twins’ excitement grow as they recognized the sound. They fidgeted in their seats, fighting to keep their eyes closed.

“Alright… go ahead and open.”

In front of them sat two pokemon, a Rufflet and a Vullaby. The twins’ eyes sparkled as they looked at the two. “These are considered counterpart pokemon,” Ingo said. “Rufflet is always male. It will evolve once, when it gets strong enough. It is a normal/flying type.” The baby bird squawked. “And this,” Ingo gestured to the other baby bird, “is Vullaby. It is always female. It also evolves once. It is a dark/flying type. This pair are siblings, in fact.” He set the pokeballs on the table behind the corresponding pokemon. “Go ahead and pick one. This will be your first pokemon, and therefore, your partner.”

Immediately, Akari reached out a tentative hand towards Rufflet. It cocked its head at her as it sniffed her. Rei, meanwhile, had his eyes on Vullaby. It sauntered towards him, flapping its wings. He held out a hand for it, allowing it to watch him.

Everyone was watching with bated breath. This was an important moment for the twins.

Rufflet rubbed its head against Akari’s hand and chirped. She broke out into a huge smile. “Oh you’re so cute…”

Vullaby squawked as it sat down and grabbed Rei’s hand between its wings, studying it closely. It turned it over, studying the backside. Then it laid his hand on its head. He pet it. It chirped like Rufflet had, making him laugh. The twins looked at each other and each took the pokeball corresponding to the pokemon they had. They clicked the center buttons and both birds retreated with a flash, the ball lighting up as they did. Then with a click, both shut.

Ingo’s eyes were teary as he rounded the table to hug his twins. They hugged him back, holding the balls tight to their chests. “You two are getting so big.” He released them and produced one more item from behind him. “There’s just one more thing me and your uncle want you to have,” he said. “These are the hats that we wore on our pokemon journey when we were your age. They haven’t been worn in years, and we want you to have them. We know you’ll take good care of them on your own journey.” Emmet nodded from the other side of the table, smiling at them.

The twins put on the hats. They were mirrors of each other, basic ball caps in black and white. Ingo’s front panel had been black, with white sides, while Emmet’s had been white in the front with black sides. Akari took Ingo’s old hat and placed it on her head. Rei took Emmet’s. They looked up at their father, both grinning at him. “You both look so grown up now,” he murmured as he leaned in for a hug.

Photos and bonding with their partners is what took up most of the rest of the night. They’d wanted to try a practice battle in the backyard with their new partners, to learn their own strengths and weaknesses. Emmet stood by Rei and showed him how to command his pokemon while Ingo coached Akari. They did not battle until there was a clear winner, just to allow them to get a taste of what battling was like. They would find out what real battling was like very soon.

And before anyone realized it, it was getting late. Drayden and Iris bid them a happy birthday and congratulated them on their first pokemon. Elesa did as well, giving them a big hug and telling them that she looked forward to taking them on as challengers in her gym someday.

Ingo yawned. He and Emmet sat on the couch, watching the twins as they played with their partners.

“I’m worried for them,” Ingo said. “They’re about to go out on their own. Do you think they’ll be alright?”

Emmet said nothing for a moment, not taking his eyes off the twins and their birds. “I think they’ll do just fine. They’re just like us. They have their partners, yes, but they also have each other. And they have our phone numbers. They know we’re just a call or train ride away.”

Ingo breathed in deep. “You’re right,” he said. “They’re going to be okay.”

—------------------

It was house cleaning day. Ingo was wiping down the counters and cleaning out the fridge with the help of Garbodor as Emmet dusted the shelves. He lifted photos and mementos as he did, not wanting to leave a speck behind. As he did, he’d glance at each photo. The one of himself and Ingo as fresh depot agents, one of him and his brother and Elesa as children, one a few days after Ingo had returned with the children with the three of them asleep on the couch, one where the brothers had taken the kids to the Nimbasa Fair, one from where the kids had started their pokemon journey.

Had that day really been three years ago? Emmet shook his head as he dusted under the photo’s spot. He could remember it like it was yesterday. How they’d tearfully told their father and uncle goodbye, promising they’d visit, Ingo stopping them for a quick photo with their partners. In the photo, Vullaby had been squawking in impatience and Rufflet was giving it a dirty look. The twins were smiling at the camera. It was a nice picture.

Emmet set it back and continued on until all the shelves were dusted. Then he moved on to vacuuming. Ingo started the laundry. Emmet cleaned the bathroom. Ingo reorganized the cupboard.

By the time they were done, they both collapsed on the couch. “What a day off, huh?” Emmet asked.

Ingo huffed. “It needed to be done.”

They sat in silence for some time. The sun was getting lower in the sky.

“Have you heard from the twins lately?” Emmet asked.

“They’re trekking around Undella Town again,” Ingo said. “Akari really seems to like the beaches.”

“I wonder what teams they have,” Emmet mused.

“They said they wanted to battle us sometime soon.” Ingo looked at his brother as he said this, a familiar gleam in his eye.

Emmet’s grin was broad and beaming. “I hope we have some familiar Trainers on the Lines soon.”

“As do I,” Ingo beamed. Ever since the kids had begun their journey, Emmet and Ingo had reopened the Doubles Line at the Subway. They didn’t run it near as often as they used to before his disappearance, and it always drew in a crowd. “As do I.”

—-------------

Emmet would later swear that it started out normal.

He and Ingo had gone grocery shopping to stock up and were taking a walk by the park. It was not often they had a day off like this. The sun was warm, but not yet hot. Springtime was in full swing. Deerling could be heard in the forests, the Sewaddle curling up in the branches of trees. The pond was glittering blue. Eelektross and Chandelure were out, enjoying the sunshine and floating behind their Trainers.

Ingo received a call on his Xtrans and requested they stop. It was from Akari. It had been a minute since the twins had called! Emmet leaned in to see.

“Hello, cub! How are-” Ingo stopped abruptly.

It was not Akari on the screen.

Instead, it was a woman, whose face was marred with horror. “H-hello? I just… they just…”

Emmet’s heart dropped. Ingo went completely still next to him.“What happened to the kids?” he asked, his voice choking.

Her eyes blinked. “I’m sorry, I saw this number was labeled as ‘Dad’ and I don’t know what else to do. There was… I don’t know how to describe it. It was a tearing sound. It was like… something was trying to saw a steel beam in half. And then a hole appeared and they were just… gone. No trace of them. The only thing left was their Xtrans-”

“Where are you right now?!” Ingo just about screamed. His face was pale. All color had drained from it. Emmet could not say that he blamed him. Both of them were shaking, Ingo shivering so hard that Emmet had trouble seeing the Xtrans screen

“I-I’m in Castellia-”

“We’ll be right over.” Ingo tossed out the Gliscor he still carried from Hisui and hopped on, grabbing Emmet’s hand. “Gliscor, to Castellia City. Something’s wrong.” It screeched and took off, slightly struggling to carry two whole men, but not complaining. The call dropped.

—--------

Ingo ran through the streets as he searched for the woman. It turns out, he didn’t have to look for long. She was by the docks, still trembling as she held two matching Xtrans. He ran over, Emmet hot on his heels. “You!” The woman jumped and saw them running over, the Gliscor following behind them. “What else did you see? Did they say anything?”

She was still shaken. She looked down at the Xtrans and handed them to Emmet. “I… They screamed for a moment, but I could barely hear over the ripping… I could have sworn they’d callen out for someone though… It sounded like ‘dad’...”

Ingo fell to his knees, shaking. Emmet grabbed his shoulder to steady himself. No. This couldn’t be happening. Not again. Not to the kids.

“It was so dark in there, I couldn’t see anything. No one else was here. Anyone who was here ran away, but I didn’t want those kids there…” She shook her head. “They started to run but the sound followed them. I don’t know where they went.”

Ingo didn’t seem to be hearing her. He was shaking horribly, his breathing fast and gasping. Emmet knelt next to him and forced his head up.

“Ingo, listen. They’re going to be fine. They’re okay.”

“How can you say that?! How do you know that?!” He was yelling, he’d lost all control. Emmet swallowed down his own feelings for now, he could sort through them later.

“Because they have their pokemon and each other. Last time, you were alone. They aren’t. They’re smart and strong. And they fell together. They’re going to be okay.”

“We-we have no idea where they are, or when, or even if they went somewhere capable of sustaining life! What if they were dropped in space or the bottom of the ocean or in a volcano-”

“We have to trust they weren’t, okay? That’s the best we can do.” Emmet tilted his chin forward and locked eyes with his brother, gripping his shoulders tightly. “Breathe with me. They’re alright for now. They can handle themselves. They’ve been all over this region and they’ve barely broken a sweat.”

“They never got their sixth badge…”

“But they’re strong,” Emmet interjected. “They can handle it. They may not have their memories, or us, right now but they have each other and their teams. That’s more than you had when you were gone and you came back. We have to trust they will too.”

“It took me a decade!”

“We know where to look for them,” Emmet reminded him. “I never thought to check in the past.”

“Wh-what if they’re in the future?”

“Ingo, we will do whatever it takes to bring those kids home, but for right now, you need to breathe. Panicking will not help them.”

Ingo took in a long, shaky breath. Two. Three. He was calming down. Emmet slowly released his hold on him. “I… I’m better. All systems online.”

“Confirmed,” Emmet responded.

“Uh…” The brothers turned to the woman beside them. They’d forgotten she was there. “Sorry to interrupt, but hearing your conversation, I believe I may have a starting point. I don’t know if we’ve ever properly met. My name is Professor Juniper. I want to help you find your missing children.”

Akari begs Ingo and Emmet to take her to PokeWorld. Ingo caves instantly. Emmet complains about it, but he comes along too. So does Elesa. Akari buys them all a set of Pikachu line ears, which Elesa and Akari bully Emmet into wearing. Emmet refuses to ride any of the rollercoasters, but he is an absolute MENACE on the Sinis-Teacups.

Rating: G

No archive warnings apply

“Are you sure you guys can handle this?” Elesa leaned on the entryway, twirling her hair around her fingers as she waited for Akari. Emmet scoffed. “Yes. Obviously. I am Emmet and I have a degree in mechanical engineering. I can handle putting together a bed” “Emmie sweetie, I know you are perfectly capable. I’m more worried about-“ she gestured vaguely towards the house “-everything else” As if to prove her point, a small crash could be heard from the kitchen, followed by several worried Pokémon cries. “You worry too much. We are grown adults. We will be fine.” Pounding footsteps interrupted the conversation as Akari came barreling down the stairs, bag and pokeballs bouncing as she ran. “I’m all ready!!” Akari cried as she ran at her aunt, barreling into her in a flurry. Laughing, Elesa hugged her niece back, planting loud kisses on the top of her head. “Are you sure you don’t require our assistance kit? The city is quite loud and busy, I worry it might be too much.” A worried Ingo trailed down the stairs behind Akari, concern etched into his perpetual frown. “I’ll be fine Dad! Auntie Elesa will be with me the whole time right? And- and we have those-“ she gestured at Elesa’s X-Trans “-talking thingies. So if we need something we can like, call you right?” Ingo sighed, pulling his daughter away from Elesa and into his own arms. “Yes, yes, alright. I am simply… worried.” He gave Akari a big squeeze before letting her go, giving her his best crooked smile “I need not be of course, Elesa is a wonderful conductor and I’m sure she will lead you down these tracks safely.” “Ingo we’re going furniture shopping. I’m happy you bayleef in me-“ a groan from Emmet, “but there’s really nothing to worry about. Right sweetheart?” Nodding energetically, Akari gave two thumbs up, “Ready for departure!!!” Emmet laughed. “Safe driving! Follow the schedule! Check safety! Everything’s ready!”

“ALL ABOARD!!!”

oOo

Emmet emptied the boxes contents on the floor, wood beams and metal screws tumbling out onto the carpet. Ingo reached for the instructions, opening it to the first page. “Emmet?” “Yes I am Emmet.” “Our instructions seem to be missing… instructions.” Ingo held up the paper for Emmet to see. The page was filled with little cartoon people as well as diagrams of the bed they were building. There were no words though. “That is on purpose! No translation needed if there are no words! Yep! Verrrrrry clever. Good for selling to different regions.” Ingo turned the page back to himself, giving the paper a closer look. “Ah! Bravo! Quite clever indeed!“ he nodded to himself before spreading the instructions on the floor so Emmet could see as well. “I will confess though, I still cannot make out the tracks ahead. If I could receive some assistance?” Looking over, Emmet perused the diagrams. The first half was simply a list of required parts while the latter half was directions on where those parts went. The first page was a bit different though, it was the odd one with the cartoon people. It warned the consumer not to build the project alone, and to call the store if they were confused. And one more thing. “We need a screwdriver.” Emmet declared as he stood, making his way to the door. Ingo quickly followed. “Yes? What’s a… that sounds familiar but I cannot recall it’s purpose.” “A screwdriver is a tool.” Emmet explained as he entered the living room. “The instructions asked for it. We should have one in our toolbox…. Where ever that is.”

The house was a mess, as all new houses were. Empty rooms filled with nothing but boxes, stacked up against the walls in depressing clusters. The living room was slightly better then the bedrooms, the couch and TV were out already (although said TV was still covered in a protective covering), and it made the room feel a little less like a storage facility. That being said, it was quite crowded. Any Pokémon that could help unpack was. The bipedal Pokémon carried objects to their correct station while the more psychicly inclined floated them to where they needed to go. Sediment (their crustle) carted open boxes around on the back of its shell, while Fang the gliscore carried smaller objects in its pincers as it rocketed around the house. Weaving among the boxes Emmet attempted to locate where the toolbox may be, finding himself genuinely stumped on where the rarely used tool could have ended up. “Hmm. The toolbox goes in the coat closet. So it should be- Somewhere! Around here! Yep!” He crouched down, trying to read the labels on each box. There were a lot though, and it was quickly becoming overwhelming. Besides, even if he found the box there was no guarantee the screwdriver would even be in there. For all Emmet knew, the screwdriver had been hanging around the bathroom when they packed their apartment. It’s not like Emmet had been very tidy over the last few years. “Emmet? Do you require assistance? I can aid in your search if I know what I’m looking for.” Emmet shook his head, getting up from the floor. “Nope! This is a lost cause. We will need to run to the store.” Brushing past Ingo, Emmet grabbed his keys and casual wear jacket from the box he had thrown them over the day before. “Tiny! Tiny come here we are going to the drugstore!” “May I come?” Ingo’s voice was quiet as he asked, hesitant in a way that tore out Emmet’s heart. “Of course! Would you like to bring Freight? I’m sure she would be thrilled to get out of the house.” There was a shriek in agreement as chandlure phased through the wall, floating her pokeball and Ingo’s hoodie into his hands. He laughed and thanked her, slipping the ball into his pocket and cradling her glass dome gently. Tiny finally came downstairs, the elektross sleepily head butting the wall in his stupor. He must have been taking a nap. “Ready for departure Ingo?” “Of course Emmet! All aboard!”
