My interpretation of Calem and Serena is essentially me going "There is a platonic explanation for this, actually."

I was hit with a bolt of inspiration and wrote a scene from right before Calem and Serena start their journey.
“Caaaaaallll!”
“Cal!”
“Cal wake up!”
“Okay, okay.” Calem groaned.
Slowly, he opened his eyes. He blinked a few times to clear the crud out of his eyes and make everything less blurry. Once he could see clearly, he saw the source of the voice that had woken him up: a very impatient looking Serena who, for some reason, was wearing his jacket, unzipped to reveal the black t-shirt beneath.
The two of them had been friends since they were very little. Their moms were rival Rhyhorn racers back in the day and lived in the same town so as a result they ended up hanging out a lot and growing a close bond. They treated each other like siblings, right down to Serena calling Calem her brother and Calem calling Serena his sister.
“Finally, you’re awake.” Serena said as if she had been waiting an eternity.
“Unfortunately.” Calem groaned. He glanced at his alarm clock. 5:30 AM. “You know, most people sleep in on the weekend.”
“Yeah, I know, but today’s important!” Serena explained, tapping her heel rapidly. “We’re going to get our first Pokemon!”
Calem’s eyes widened. “That’s today!?”
Serena sighed. “Don’t tell me you forgot!”
Calem threw off his sheets, revealing he was wearing blue pajamas, and practically leaped out of bed. He dashed over to his closet, opened it, and then paused.
“Well, what are you waiting for?” Serena asked. Calem gave her a deadpan look. “Oh! Right!” She covered her eyes and turned around to face the wall.
Now that he had something resembling privacy, Calem stripped down, tossed his pajamas in his laundry basket, grabbed a pair of jeans, and pulled them on.
“Why are you wearing my jacket, anyways?” He asked Serena as he fastened his belt.
“You left it at my house, yesterday.” She explained.
“You’re not gonna give it back, are you.” Calem replied.
“Nope.” Serena said cheerily. “Mine now.”
“Yeah, well, you left your top here when you slept over last week.” He replied, grabbing a collared black tank top out of his closet. “I was gonna give it back but I never got the chance and now I guess I never will cause it’s mine forever now.” He slid the top on. He and Serena had pretty similar body types so it fit perfectly. “Alright, you can look now.”
Serena removed her hand from her eyes and turned around. Caem pulled on his boots and grabbed his hat, placing it snugly on his head. He spread his arms like he was presenting something.
“Well, how do I look?”
“Like a dork.” Serena answered.
“I walked right into that one.” Calem said.
“Yep.” Serena agreed, crossing her arms smugly. “Now come on, lets go get a Pokemon!”

2.21.23 (but actually drawn at least a month ago - and now posted 6.2.23) - some xy fic sketches. rambles beneath the cut
.
in my Great Fanfiction Rewrite of the (X)Y plot because it was sadly lacking in some places, Calem/Xavier kinda sorta joins Team Flare! To be honest this isn't my 100% original idea, I saw someone post once on here somewhere how cool it would've been if your rival, frustrated with constantly losing to you, joined Team Flare in desperation to beat you. I have taken this concept and am running with it. Xavier in my story Did Not take kindly to losing the Mega Ring to Yvonne: a rookie trainer, a girl, a girl who doesn't fall into his preconceived notions of what a young female trainer should be like, a girl he initially assumed he would be in a relationship with and he'd be the tough trainer in contrast to her contest abilities, someone from a poorer family from his. He gets uhh a little wild trying to prove his might makes right (deeply sheltered child who was never exposed to anything that would upset him syndrome)
In my head Y is the canon, but I'm doing a ramshackle combo into a tentative Z in which Yvonne and Yveltal fight Lysandre together, but also Xavier and Xerneas at some point and Zygarde is there too as a result of Team Flare managing to find BOTH legendaries (who in the anime were depicted as being right on top of each other) but only figuring out how to use Yveltal in the Ultimate Weapon. Xavier steals the Poke Flute and uses it to wake Xerneas (willingly or not - he's irrational, but IDK how down he'd be for the "destroy the world" plot, but Xerneas DEFINITELY uses ~fairy powers~ to fuck with his mind)
Yvonne has vitiligo! Dyes her hair blonde for the first halfish of the game, lets it grow out to its natural brown as a symbolic representation of not wanting to conform to certain beauty standards. She starts wearing very snazzy suits post-game, avoiding short sleeves and skirts
My HC is that Sycamore is her da! He and Grace were an item back in the day when Grace was in Kalos Rhyhorn racing, and she only realized she was pregnant when she'd already left. Sycamore didn't feel ready at all to be an active father, and Grace didn't feel any strong need to be in a relationship with him/have him be a part of Yvonne's life with a strong circle of friends and family who'd help with childrearing, so he stayed in Kalos and continued his work on evolution and Fairy Types in Kalos, every other month or so receiving an email of an update of Yvonne's life in progress. Eventually Grace's racing injuries/chronic pain is too debilitating to continue racing, and Sycamore offers his grandparents' cottage in the starting town. Yvonne knows her father is an academic/scientist in Kalos but doesn't know it's him, and doesn't want to know until she's more comfortable in the region. She DOES start to suspect though, but only confirms it mid/post-Geosenge crisis (haven't decided how long that's drawn out) in a hospital bed. Sycamore (after years of watching his daughter grow up from afar, and has become more invested in her life in the past few years) is delighted that she's willing have a familial connection
a lot of people draw Yveltal as a bird (super cool, no judgement) but it's very dragon-y to me with the hands/wings, kinda like how bat wings are just elongated fingers with skin between them. The logic of the tail eludes me though. It's Yvonne's buddy post game! As much as she does not want it to be her buddy! But when a super powerful ancient deity of death decides it wants to be your friend there's not a lot you can do to stop it. She warms up to it eventually. They have a fun time threatening Malva together
Korrina is a sports lesbian
Shauna slight redesign. She and Yvonne become an item around Laverre. In my story there's a cool Ren Faire-ish thing happening when they arrive and they both get a little tipsy and kiss and spend the evening running around in semi-accurate reenactment dresses giggling and dancing and giving each other wildflowers
Gogoat =)

Introductions are in Order
Bonjour, Mes amis! Je m'appelle Calem Xavier, I work at the Looker Bureau here in Lumiose City as acting head detective. My friends have encouraged me to create a blog here to- 'advertise' our services and educate people about our wonderful city-though I will not be acting as a walking advertisement, I would love if you asked about how we work here and-if you are ever in any trouble, do not be afraid to ask for assistance, alright? I will do my best to investigate! (Though with how many alternate timelines there are on this website, that-may prove très difficile…but I will find a way!)
I assume you'd want to see my team, non?
Tumblr media
We hope to do good work for the people of Lumiose-and perhaps even beyond! I hope to make an impression! Bonne chance!

//OOC: hi me again @mamasplat the one who runs @admin-courtneys-corner
this blog is based on both the games and the manga, so it follows both canons at the same time. post canon right after defeating team flare
i almost did this as a solo calem blog, but calem is a very hard character to portray without the rest of the cast since he is a ball of social anxiety. (also if anyone is starting a blog it’s gonna be trevor-) so if you notice a heavy calem lean, yeah that’s why.
interaction info:
pelipper mail: on!
magic anons: off unless stated otherwise.
related blogs: none! everyone is right here!
rules and regulations!
headcanon info: possible kalosshipping, brighttomorrowshipping, and boutiqueshipping. t4t calem and serena propaganda as well as my firm belief shauna should’ve been allowed to crush on both protags.
that’s all from me, see ya!

can I hear about your calem interpretation Im curious :o ... (you dont have to if you dont wanna btw)
Absolutely! He (his pronouns are he/they, tho this might change to they/them, not sure yet) is a bit of a WIP still, though I can try (<- key word) and explain what I have at the moment.
Gonna toss up a keep reading since this is prolly gonna be a decently long post, though do bear with me a bit, I find I'm not great at explaining this stuff-
So, in this universe, Calem Xavier (I'm terrible at coming up with surnames, just went with his prerelease name lol) is a 19-year-old (currently; 16 y/o at the beginning of X/Y's story) originally from Unova; he was born and mostly raised there. Before, they'd lived in Nuvema Town and were part of the Hilbert-Cheren-Bianca friend group (all three of whom having been aged up to match Calem's age), being closest among those three to Hilbert.
I mostly added that tidbit with HCB to try and make the world feel a little bit more connected. He'd probably keep an Xtransceiver he got for his last birthday back in Unova, even after getting his Holo Caster, though his use of the Xtransceiver would probably fizzle out as he meets more people in Kalos and generally becomes more comfortable there.
As far as who he is as a person, I'd like to think of him as someone who, while he can be a bit oblivious at times, generally tries to do what's best for the people closest to him, like his mom to start, and eventually people like Shauna and Serena. He's very averse to huge change (autism moment)... y'know. Huge change like moving into an entirely different region. So, he would definitely start out much more closed off just after moving than he would've been in Unova, and a big part of his arc throughout the story would be him coming out of his shell and learning to appreciate where he is now.
I think a thing he'd be most well-known for at a glance, besides his general outfit (which mostly sticks with canon), would be a (nowadays) male Meowstic named Grix that comes with him pretty much everywhere. Grix started out as a house pokémon in the Xavier family, joining the family as an Espurr not long before Calem was born. The two showed to be pretty inseparable from a very young age, and they've grown to have a very close, sibling-like bond. So, of course, Grix was the one to come out with Calem as a starter (still unsure of if Calem ends up getting a Kalos starter or not. might have that be offered to him at the same time as the Kanto starter, might not offer them one at all, dunno yet).
A favorite of mine among his quirks is that if you just casually ran into him while, like, taking a walk in a park or something, you'd usually find him with earbuds in and listening to music, along with Grix either being on his shoulder or trailing closeby. He'd developed a love of music from a fairly young age, as not only a way to keep his mind in one place for a little while but also as a medium for him to express himself.
Alright. I thiiiiink that's most of what I have for him so far? Well, aside from my avid-Kalosshipping-ass having him and Serena end up together by the end of their story-
But yeah, do let me know if you have any questions! I tend to be better at explaining stuff like this in a back-and-forth rather than in laying everything out in one go ^^;

Going through Kalos feels like deja vu, though he doesn’t get solid memories in place for the most part. But the further he goes, the more he feels he’s done this before, he’s seen this play out before. It wrecks his heart to be walking through Parfum Palace and the man he knows to be his father, doesn’t recognize him in the least. Their relationship had been terrible frankly, but the fact that he knows this to be true and then it suddenly wasn’t, it tears him apart. The only thing worse is when he runs into Dani who doesn’t know him at all anymore, and Reggie... something about Reggie’s presence even if he had remembered Xavier, something hurts about it much more than anything else.
He was about to head into Route 10 when the Holo Caster rings-- seems Professor Sycamore wants to see him in person to talk about his Pokedex. It’s a bit of a walk back but he doesn’t really mind it honestly, it gives him a little time to think before he faces him again. Always was...weird to see him and Lysandre, which he really hates the way he feels over that. Why does everything have to feel so off with everyone he knows? He knows these people and cares deeply for them.
Even Lysandre was proving to be nice, even though Xavier can’t help feeling somehow afraid of him. 
He wanders into Lumiose with Error at his side, still a Porygon2 since the accidental evolution the last time he’d been at the lab. Making pleasant beeps as he roamed with him, though hesitating in front of the lab.
Tumblr media
“I don’t blame you for stopping, last time you were here things were kind of odd huh?” He smiles comfortingly back at his pokemon. “Nothing to worry about though, I think the professor will be used to your quirks this time.”
Tumblr media
“XA-V-IER?” Error asks with a tilt of the head, making the trainer shudder and pat him.
“Try to call me Calem in there, I know it’s not right, but we have to work with it for now.”
He gave a solemn beep, before following Xavier into the lab.
