Mainseries Pokemon characters who can be argued to be bisexual-coded (due to their implied crush on the player)

1. Shauna (Pokemon X and Y)

Kalos takes place in France, and Paris is the city of love. So, in the words of Junichi Masuda, "I wanted to implement some elements of romance with Shauna when playing as a boy and express a deep friendship when playing as a girl."

However, due to the VERY few dialogue changes between female vs male protags (as well as actions Shauna takes that are intended to imply romantic interest being the same across all player types, such as her staying behind with the player in the early-game forest), this can be argued to be unintentional bisexual-coding.

2. Lillie (Pokemon Sun and Moon)

Lillie is implied to have a crush on the player. When the player character is female, on Exeggutor Island, she says, "I want to become a Trainer, and learn all the things you know, Selene..." When the player character is male, she says, "I think... I'd like to become a Trainer, too. And travel together with you, Elio..."

Obviously, the difference between these two dialogues makes it pretty clear that they want her dialogue with Elio to be interpreted as more romantically-inclined. However, much like Shauna, Lillie's actions and dialogue varying VERY little otherwise between female vs male protags can be read as unintentional bisexual-coding.

3. Kieran

Kieran is the first character here to receive absolutely zero dialogue changes across player gender. Additionally, I'd say he's the character that we get the strongest hints regarding romantic feelings towards the player with.

Kieran has multiple moments where he's implied to feel romantically towards the player. These include, but are not limited to:

His sister saying that he's "been all googly-eyed over you" since you met, and that he "wouldn't stop talking about you - even at home. I seriously couldn't get him to shut up." Kieran reacts with embarrassment when she says this to the MC.

Him saying, "You're...you're special," before pausing, then getting embarrassed and rushing to change the subject.

When the MC calls him a friend, he responds, "What?! R-really?! We're friends? F-friends... I feel all tingly and funny hearing that... Ehehe..."

After the MC changes into their festival outfit, Kieran says, "Whoa...", when seeing them for the first time.

The player can even seemingly flirt with Kieran; when Kieran describes letting Ogerpon move into his home, the player can teasingly ask when they, themself, can move in with Kieran.

These are all very common romantic tropes. I think Kieran is the closest thing that we have to a canonically bisexual mainline character at this moment.

4. Carmine

Carmine has a fewer number of specific moments compared to her brother, but she can still be easily read as having feelings for the player.

Her extreme reaction to Drayton asking the player on a date is the best example, with her bringing her hands up to her face, and saying, "A wha-?!" Once Drayton leaves, Carmine continues fuming. (This can also be chalked up to her general dislike towards Drayton and how he can be manipulative, but the fact that it's that request that sets her off specifically makes this also easily read as jealousy.)

And speaking of...

5. Drayton

While, like Kieran and Carmine, Drayton doesn't have any dialogue changes between if the player is male and female, it's not really clear how he actually feels about them.

He tells the player, male or female, that they can go on a cafeteria date to talk, which the game fully acknowledges as a romantic phrase via Carmine's extreme reaction. He also tells the player, "From one charming catch to another..."

This is very obviously him flirting with the player, but, due to his laid-back and just-a-liiittle-bit-sleazy nature, this more so comes across as him trying to tease the player character, rather than anything earnest.

If nothing else, he's at least confirmed to be comfortable with romantically teasing male classmates, which I would consider a win.

Hope you dont mind an angsty request but

Can i request Kieran, Carmine, and Drayton see (or heard for Drayton’s part) the reader in a comatose state after taking the blow that was meant for Kieran when Terapagos went out of control. Like they, in the moment, sacrifice themself for Kieran and was somehow still standing after taking the hit but after they caught Terapagos, they immediatley fainted and havent woken up ever since.

(Btw i enjoy your posts!)

Ough this hurts, it's an absolutely devastating concept <//3

(and thank you!!!)

.....

Kieran

Instead of summoning your 'raidon, you shoved him aside and took the full brunt of the tera energy-infused blast, not caring what happened to you.

As long as he was safe.

He couldn't understand why you'd do this for him.

Even after going on that angry tirade about you, even after he caught Terapagos with a master ball solely to "get even" with you....you chose to save his life when you could've just saved yourself, Carmine, and Briar.

How could you be so kind and selfless to someone like him? Who's done nothing but talk about how much he envied you?

And somehow you're still standing, convincing him to fight by your side so you could both quell the legendary's fury.

Seeing the light return to his eyes made you smile as your pokemons' combined strength defeated it, with Kieran deciding to let you properly catch it.

What nobody expected, though, was for you to pass out shortly after you picked up the pokeball you used..

Your 'raidon got everybody safely out of Area Zero, but you still haven't woken up and were rushed to the hospital.

The attack left you in a comatose-like state, according to doctors, and there's no telling when you'll awaken...if ever.

There was overwhelming tera energy coming from your body, which caused any Pokémon within the room to start terastalizing themselves. So you had to be isolated, having only human visitors.

Of course, Kieran was the most devastated.

Now he might never get the chance to apologize to you..and it's all because he got obsessed with defeating you and was willing to use a dangerous legendary to do just that.

This was all his fault.

If you were to die thinking he still hated you...he'd never forgive himself.

He definitely doesn't wanna think about you reincarnating into a Phantump and haunting him for the rest of his life.

He visits as often as he can, holding your hand while he talks to you.

While he's not sure if you could even hear what he was saying, but somehow he believes you're listening.

"I went too far, [y/n]..I only ever wanted to be like you. But instead I....I-I did this to you. I did this to someone who still believed in me. Someone who still saw me as....a-as a friend..." His voice breaks, never having felt such remorse in his entire life. "I'm so, so sorry...please wake up soon."

Although he had let go of his bitterness towards you entirely, his bad sleeping/eating habits are still there, and there's not much that anybody can do to help him cope.

With every visit, he grows more desperate for a positive update on your condition, chatting with you and always ending with a plea for you to wake up.

Hell, he's even willing to become friends with Drayton again if that's what it took to see your eyes open.

When you do finally awaken after the tera energy readings have dropped to practically zero, you see Kieran asleep in the chair beside you, his hair messy and reminiscent of what it looked like a year ago.

You muster up enough strength to lightly ruffle it, and that's what makes him jerk awake, shocked.

At first he thinks he's still dreaming when he sees you're now conscious...but when the doctors confirm you're gonna make a full recovery, he just collapses into your waiting arms and sobs into your shoulder, having held back all of his tears until now.

You simply comfort him, reassuring that you didn't blame him at all.

It was you who chose to sacrifice yourself.

And you'd do it all over again.

Carmine

Seeing you take that devastating hit for her brother shocked her to her very core...and even moreso when you were still standing despite the powerful blast.

But when you pass out shortly after capturing Terapagos, she's quick to snap Briar for pushing Kieran to terastalize it, blaming her for the reason this all happened.

She doesn't care if she gets in trouble for backtalking a teacher.

Her obsession with this "hidden treasure" ended up hurting a student, someone she was supposed to protect...and now you may never wake up.

At the hospital, Carmine sometimes visits you alongside her brother, and other times the two go in separately, leaving their pokemon outside.

When it's just her, she mostly talks about how Kieran has been doing, mentioning how you literally brought the light back into his eyes and how he wasn't some battle-crazed stranger anymore.

You saved him in more ways than one, and she cries a little just thinking about that, wishing you'd wake up and see that he was willing to let go of the past.

Whether it takes days or weeks, she never stops visiting you.

What you did for her brother was noble...and something she wishes she could've been brave enough to do.

The day you finally wake up and start to remember everything, Carmine quickly tries to cover up the fact she was crying.

But when you start talking, she's quick to breakdown as she (lightly) berated you for doing something so reckless, making you swear to NEVER do that again.

Soon Kieran rushes in the moment he hears you're awake..and he starts crying, too.

You just comfort the two siblings in your groggy half-asleep state, wondering how you'll tell them that this wasn't your first near-death experience...

Drayton

All he hears is that you were involved in an accident down in Area Zero...and it feels like a punch to the gut when he learns it put you into a coma.

Now he wishes he went with you. Maybe he could've kept an eye on Kieran just in case he did anything stupid for the sake of defeating you in-battle.

But he didn't, and that's exactly what ends up happening.

Despite not knowing all the details, he 100% believes Kieran is at fault for your condition.

Even though Drayton only knew you for a short time, he cared enough to frequently visit your room, trying to stay his chill and relaxed self while he talks to you about whatever came to mind (in case you were listening, he didn't want you to worry over him).

But it gets harder with every passing day and no clear confirmation on when (and if) you'll wake up.

Carmine was afraid he was going to strangle Kieran if he saw him...

Yet whenever they so-happen to visit you at the exact same time, words are seldom exchanged between the two.

Although Drayton will often glare at him, thinking to himself "only now he's sorry?"

Even so, he doesn't verbalize it.

There's no bitter reminders of what Kieran did. No petty insults to get the other ex-champion riled up.

They just sit in silence, although seeing the tears in the younger boy's eyes and the way he holds your hand made Drayton's gaze less icy the more he saw it.

Whenever you wake up, he's one of the first to know and brought you a Dragonite plushie as a gift, relieved to see you talking, his eyes slightly stinging and a huge smile on his face.

Once you recover more, he'll ask you what you remembered of Area Zero....and becomes shocked after you explained everything that happened down there.

All this time, he thought Kieran used Terapagos to attack you directly, but to learn it actually got out of control and turned its back on him??? And you chose to push him out of the way???

Drayton isn't sure if you're brave or dumb, but he's glad you're okay now.

When Kieran comes in, he leaves you both be to update the Elite Four, although he'll be back to help you on the long road to recovery.

Avahjdiaksvvxhsx this blog is so silly in a good way

As much as I love toothpaste, edgy onion deserves some love as well

Can I get hcs of Kieran x reader set after the end of Indigo Disk where Kieran and the reader's rekindled friendship slowly grows into romance over time? I just think the idea is cute

Your wish is my command!💜💜

Pokémon Headcannons | Kieran (Post-game Romance)

Pokémon Scarlett and Violet DLC Spoilers ahead!

Warnings: mild obsessive behaviour. Kieran being a sweet bean

SPOILER WARNING For The ending of The indigo disk

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

After the whole Ogerpon, Terapagos, situation was finally over, the guild Kieran felt was unfathomable. The people he had hurt, the things he had said to everyone he cared about were weighing on him more than they ever did before.

So when he had practically yelled at you to forgive him on the bridge to the academy. To see your smile once more, to know after everything he had done you’d forgiven him! His only friend had forgiven him after all of this. Not a chance was he letting this go, not a second time. You are his best friend and he’s making sure he doesn’t lose your trust or you again.

Getting your forgiveness was pretty easy, as for the others… that was more of a challenge. Carmine never really held a grudge, Kieran’s her brother she cares for him! Drayton forgave him quite quickly, though he still holds a grudge against him for what he’s done, and will remind him of this if he slips out of it again.

It took weeks for Crispin and Lacey to forgive him, so much persuasion, apologies, gifts, everything under the sun so they would even remotely forgive him. So many times he wanted to give up, thinking he had failed them as he had himself. But with your constant motivation and joy, he continued trying to gain they’re trust again, for you.

His grades began shooting up as well. He began actually focusing more on the Pokémon world and the people around him instead of his obsession with getting stronger. Which caused Amarys to admit to him how proud she was of him. Be it stoically.

After some time he was even able to earn Ogerpon' s love and trust, becoming good friends with the adorable Pokémon.

Kieran had even begun spending a lot more time with you, going on shiny hunts with you, catching Pokémon with you and just genuinely wanting to be around you! It reminded him of how he felt back on Kitagami, the joy he felt running around doing all those challenges with you.

But it also brought back some feelings he had bottled away. Feelings he never thought would resurface, and yet, running around the Terrarium with you, running through the stories of your adventures in Paldea with him. He wanted nothing more than to just hold you.

Little did he know you felt the same.

It wasn’t until a few months after that he finally mustered up the courage. And by that I mean Carmine practically dragged him to you and demanded he tell you how he felt. Much to your confusion.

But he does confess telling you straight up how he felt, how much you make his heart ache when you're not around, how seeing you so focused on catching a Pokémon makes his face go all red and warm. How your focused battle face was so refreshing to him, your smile being the cutest thing in the world to him.

Granted he stumbled over every word, the old shy Kieran you knew before, showing his face one last time.

When you plant a kiss on his cheek, followed by a hug, he knew your feelings were mutual and he couldn’t help but smile a beaming smile, hugging you for the first time in so long. And he was never letting this moment go. And never again was he letting you slip from his grasp again.

Drayton, smirking: Your diary!

Kieran, now furiously blushing: W-wait, what?! Drayton, NO! Give it back—

Penny: So, what is Black to you?

Juliana: The reason I wake up every morning.

Penny: Aw, that’s adorable.

Black earlier that morning, barging into Juliana’s room, and literally using the move tackle on her: COME ON, COME ON, COME ON, COME ON, COME ON, COME ON, COME ON, COME ON, *starts biting her ear and pulling her hair* WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP!!!!

Crispin: Please, don’t do this. You’ll break my heart.

Drayton: I’m gonna do it!

Crispin: …

Drayton: …

Drayton: *throws the last Oreo into his mouth*

Crispin: You’re dead to me.

Florian, giving advice to a new trainer: First rule of battle, don’t ever let them know where you are.

Nemona, shooting out of frame: WHOOO-HOO! I’M RIGHT HERE! I’M RIGHT HERE! YOU WANT SOME OF ME?! YEAH YOU DO! COME ON! COME AND FACE ME! WHOOOOOO!!!

Florian:

Florian: ‘Course, there are other schools of thought…

Kieran, borrowing a Rotom phone: Hello?

Drayton, also on the phone: Hey, what’s up?

Kieran: This is Kieran. I need your help, can you come over?

Drayton: Uh I can’t, I’m buying clothes.

Kieran: Alright, well hurry up and come over here.

Drayton: I can’t find them.

Kieran: …What do you mean there’s only ice cream?

Drayton: It means there’s only ice cream!

Drayton: THERE’S JUST MORE ICE CREAM!

Kieran: GO INTO THE NEXT ISLE!

Arven: For the dogs.

Florian: Why are you making pancakes for the dogs?

Drayton: Why should I make my bed, when I’m just gonna unmake it to sleep in it anyways?

Carmine, annoyed: Why should we feed you if your just gonna die anyways?

Drayton: I’ll go make my bed—

I hoped you guys liked these!! I still have a ton of quotes in my document so there might be a part 3. Also, so you’re aware Black is the eevee Penny traded Juliana in the league club. I like to think he’s pretty sassy, defiant, and a huge troublemaker. Juliana really has a difficult time with him lol.

Since We're Alone

Here's some good old Mintteashipping fluff inspired by this prompt list because the hair prompts reminded me of Drayton's toothpaste hair. This was supposed to be a blurb, but it ended up being over 2,000 words whoops lol

This will also be posted on my ao3!

The fic is under the cut! This is very, very fluffy, you have been warned!

The soft morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow over the cozy apartment in Opelucid City. Carmine stirred from her slumber, her eyes fluttering open as she took in the sight before her. Drayton lay beside her, his features softened by sleep, his usually slicked-up hair now a tousled mess of white with a vibrant purple streak.

Drayton looked so different when he was asleep, devoid of the usual lazy smirk that defined his waking hours. Carmine felt a warmth spread through her chest as she gazed at him, appreciating the soft vulnerability he rarely showed.

They had come a long way since their days at Blueberry Academy, where their relationship had blossomed. Carmine couldn't help but reminisce about those times—how Drayton had teased her endlessly, how they had argued and laughed together. She suspected she had motivated him to push through his second year after he had repeated it so many times, even though he'd never admit it.

Carmine couldn't help but chuckle at her younger self's antics. She had always been so invested in other people's relationships, playing the role of confidante and matchmaker with fervor. Yet amidst her meddling in others' love lives, she had unwittingly neglected her own.

Back then, she would never have imagined that she would end up with someone like Drayton– Drayton, with his easy smile and laid-back attitude that had initially grated on her nerves. It had taken her by surprise when she had realized that beneath his nonchalant exterior was a person who truly understood her, who accepted her quirks and challenged her in all the right ways.

But life had a funny way of surprising her. Carmine had slowly come to realize that there was more to Drayton than met the eye.He had a depth of character and kindness that had captured her heart in ways she never expected.

After graduation, Carmine had made the permanent move from Kitakami to Unova, leaving behind her grandparents and the familiar comforts of home. She missed them dearly but knew they were doing just fine on their own. She made it a point to visit occasionally, making the long journey back to Kitakami to see her family and childhood friends.

Living in Unova with Drayton opened up new opportunities for Carmine. She pursued her interests, worked alongside Ms.Briar, explored new places, and built a life alongside the person she loved. Despite the distance from her hometown, she found solace in the fact that she could still see her younger brother, Kieran, who was now attending Blueberry University nearby. It was comforting to have him close by, a reminder of the family ties that anchored her to her roots.

As Carmine watched Drayton stir awake, she couldn't help but reach out and playfully tuck a loose strand of his hair behind his ear. He blinked up at her, a lazy smile gracing his lips. "Morning, Carmie," he mumbled, his voice still thick with sleep.

Drayton, with his tousled hair and sleepy smile, had grown into his role as Opelucid's gym leader, following in the footsteps of his grandfather. It was a responsibility he took seriously, but Carmine knew he still carried a piece of his carefree spirit from their academy days.

Carmine smiled down at him, her heart skipping a beat at the sight of his disheveled yet endearing appearance. Before she could say anything, Drayton suddenly reached out and pulled her into a tight cuddle, his arms wrapping around her with surprising strength.

Startled, Carmine blushed, feeling a rush of defensive embarrassment. "Hey, what are you doing?" she protested, trying to wriggle free from Drayton's embrace.

Drayton chuckled softly, his hold on her gentle yet firm. "Were you watching me sleep, Carmie?" he teased, raising an eyebrow playfully.

Carmine's cheeks grew warmer, a mixture of embarrassment and indignation flooding her. "N-No! I just... I woke up before you did," she stammered, avoiding his gaze.

Drayton's laughter filled the room, warm and infectious. "Sure, sure," he teased, pressing a kiss to Carmine's cheek.

Despite her initial protest, Carmine couldn't deny the flutter of warmth that spread through her at Drayton's affectionate gesture. She relaxed into his embrace, feeling the tension melt away as she nestled against him.

As they lay intertwined, Carmine finally gathered the willpower to break free from Drayton's hold. "Alright, I need to get up and get ready," she announced, trying to sound determined.

Drayton, however, tightened his grip playfully. "Nah, too lazy," he murmured with a mischievous grin, pulling her back into his arms.

Carmine let out an exasperated laugh, but she couldn't suppress the fondness in her voice. "Come on, Drayton," she protested, half-heartedly attempting to free herself again. "I have things to do today."

Drayton feigned a dramatic sigh. "Can't you just stay here with me a little longer?" he teased, pressing a soft kiss to the top of Carmine's head.

Carmine's heart fluttered at the tenderness in his actions. Despite her desire to stick to her morning routine, she found herself giving in to the warmth of their shared moment. "Fine," she relented with a playful smile, snuggling back into Drayton's embrace.

As she settled back into the comfort of Drayton's arms, Carmine realized that, in truth, she didn't have anywhere urgent to be. It was the weekend, so the responsibilities of the day could wait a little longer—this moment with Drayton was what she truly craved.

They remained intertwined for a few more precious minutes, basking in the quiet intimacy of the morning. Carmine felt a sense of contentment wash over her, grateful for these stolen moments with Drayton.

But eventually, the inevitable call of the day beckoned. With a gentle nudge, Carmine extricated herself from Drayton's embrace once more. "Okay, for real this time," she declared, a hint of determination in her voice.

Drayton pouted playfully, but then his expression turned mischievous. "One more kiss before you go?" he requested, leaning in closer.

Carmine chuckled but then wrinkled her nose in mock disgust. "Uh-uh, not until you brush your teeth," she teased, pushing herself up from the bed.

Drayton laughed, rolling his eyes in mock exasperation. "Fine, fine, I'll go with you," he relented, swinging his legs off the bed and following Carmine toward the bathroom.

"You're really not going to let me kiss you until I've brushed my teeth, huh?" Drayton remarked. a hint of laughter in his voice.

Carmine raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on her lips. "Absolutely not," she replied with mock seriousness. "I have standards, you know."

Drayton chuckled, his eyes softening with affection as he squeezed Carmine's shoulder gently. "Fair enough," he conceded, uncapping his toothpaste and starting to brush his teeth.

As they stood side by side, the simple act of brushing their teeth together felt strangely intimate—a glimpse into the everyday routines that defined their life together. Carmine couldn't help but steal glances at Drayton in the mirror, admiring the way the morning light caught the purple streak in his hair, the crinkles around his eyes when he smiled.

Once they had finished, they rinsed their mouths and exchanged playful smiles. "There, now I can have my kiss," Drayton announced, leaning in closer to Carmine.

Carmine laughed, her heart fluttering with warmth as she met Drayton's gaze. "Much better," she teased, leaning in to meet his kiss.

Pulling away, Drayton couldn't help but playfully run his fingers through his tousled hair, trying to tame the unruly strands. "I really need to do something about this mess," he mused, his voice tinged with amusement.

Carmine chuckled, watching Drayton's antics in the mirror. "Maybe you should consider a new hairstyle," she suggested with a playful grin. "Something that doesn't scream toothpaste head."

Drayton's eyes sparkled as he let out a scoff. "Hey, I happen to like my toothpaste head," he retorted.

Carmine couldn't suppress her laughter at Drayton's playful response. "Of course you do," she teased, shaking her head affectionately.

But as she watched him in the mirror, attempting to smooth down his hair once more, a thought crossed her mind. "Here, let me help," she offered, reaching for the bottle of gel.

Drayton raised an eyebrow, a curious smile playing on his lips as he handed her the gel. "Are you sure you can handle it?" he teased, leaning closer to her.

Carmine rolled her eyes but couldn't hide the grin that spread across her face. "Oh, please," she replied, feigning indignation. "I've seen you struggle with this enough times to know exactly what to do."

With a determined expression, Carmine squirted a small amount of gel into her palm, rubbing her hands together before reaching for Drayton's hair. She worked the gel through his strands with practiced ease, her fingers deftly styling his hair into its usual slicked-back look.

Drayton leaned into her touch, his eyes fluttering closed as he savored the sensation. "You have magic hands, Carmie," he remarked, his voice soft with appreciation.

Carmine felt her cheeks flush at the compliment, a warmth spreading through her chest. "Just trying to make sure you don't scare anyone with your bedhead," she teased, though her words were laced with affection.

Once she was satisfied with Drayton's hair, he turned to face her with a grin. "Alright, your turn," he declared, grabbing a hairbrush from the counter.

Carmine raised an eyebrow in surprise. "My turn?" she echoed, feeling a flutter of excitement.

Drayton nodded, his eyes warm and gentle. "Let me brush your hair," he suggested, motioning for Carmine to sit on the edge of the bathtub.

Carmine complied, sitting down as Drayton stood behind her. She closed her eyes, savoring the sensation of his fingers running through her long hair, carefully detangling the strands with practiced ease.

As Drayton brushed her hair, Carmine felt a profound sense of intimacy wash over her. It was a simple act, yet it spoke volumes about their connection—the trust, the familiarity, the unspoken bond that had only grown stronger with time.

"You have such beautiful hair," Drayton remarked softly, his voice a gentle murmur.

Carmine smiled, her heart swelling with affection. "Thank you," she replied sincerely, turning to look at Drayton over her shoulder.

Their eyes met, and in that moment, words seemed unnecessary. Carmine knew that they were both thinking the same thing—that they were exactly where they were meant to be, sharing these intimate moments that made their love story uniquely theirs.

With a final stroke of the brush, Drayton finished styling Carmine's hair. "There," he said, stepping back to admire his handiwork.

Carmine turned to face him, her eyes sparkling with gratitude. "Thank you," she whispered, reaching out to cup his cheek in her hand.

Drayton's smile was soft and genuine. "Anytime, Carmine," he replied, leaning in to press a tender kiss to her forehead.

As Drayton pressed a tender kiss to Carmine's forehead, she couldn't help but feel a rush of warmth spread through her. She stood up from the tub and leaned into his touch, relishing the affectionate gesture.

Drayton's arms enveloped her in a gentle embrace, pulling her closer until she was nestled against him, their hearts beating in sync.

For a moment, they stayed like that, lost in the quiet intimacy of the embrace. Carmine felt a sense of peace wash over her, grateful for the love and comfort that Drayton provided without hesitation.

When they finally pulled away, Carmine met Drayton's gaze with a soft smile. "I love you," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper.

Drayton's eyes softened with emotion, his own smile mirroring hers. "I love you too," he replied, his words filled with sincerity.

Carmine nestled against him once again, her face buried in the warmth of Drayton's neck. His familiar scent enveloped her, calming her racing thoughts. In that simple, intimate moment, Carmine felt an overwhelming sense of peace and contentment.

But eventually, the rumble of Drayton's stomach broke the spell, reminding them of the pressing need for breakfast. Drayton's chuckle rumbled through his chest, a soothing sound that reverberated against Carmine's cheek. "I'm starving," he admitted playfully, his voice tinged with amusement.

Carmine lifted her head from his neck, her eyes twinkling with mirth. "Typical," she teased, a grin tugging at the corners of her lips.

Drayton flashed her a sheepish smile, his eyes crinkling with laughter. "Well, then, how about we get breakfast?" he suggested, taking her hand in his.

Carmine's heart swelled with affection as she intertwined her fingers with his. "Sounds perfect."

Could I maybe get a Hisuian!Reader who came to Paldea through a space time rift? They remember everything, they still have all their old Pokemon, they like to share stories of their adventures (anything from taking on Volo to "Oh yeah, I caught this alpha garchomp after a half-hour standoff, here's her gigaton ball lol."), they've got little scars here and there from accidentally standing too close to Pokemon attacks or taking fall damage, and they give descendants of their Hisuian Pokemon to their blueberry friends (BBE4, Carmine, and Kieran) during their trades. To make things even more interesting, I wonder what that reader would think about bloodmoon ursaluna, Perrin, and modern Sinnoh - seeing their dear friend Adaman in someone alive today and seeing just how much things have changed over the years

The PLA fixation is real so YESSSIR I finally got around to this one. I separated the headcanons by region and their respective characters

.............

Paldea (Arven, Penny, Nemona)

After finishing your mission in Hisui, you decided to confront Arceus, being satisfied with everything you've done for the Survey Corps and the good people of Jubilife Village.

You fully finished the pokedex, fulfilling Professor Laventon's dreams, and were ready to return home.

After some reluctance, Arceus agreed and ensured you wouldn't lose any of your memories, as you didn't want all your feats in Hisui become lost to history.

It warned you that you'll never get to see Rei/Akari, Professor Laventon, the Wardens...or anyone else ever again.

But you've said your goodbyes and were ready to go back.

One warp through a space-time rift later, you were dropped off in Paldea-

Right where Arven, Penny, and Nemona were discussing whether to call off the search for you or not.

As it turns out, you've been missing for months, not long after the Area Zero adventure, and so it's a rather tearful reunion when they realize the person in the old fashioned clothing was you.

You looked tired, scarred, battle-hardened...and yet you smiled as you joked about being "back from the past".

Since then, easing back into modern life was..trickier than you expected.

You still had the habit of crafting pokeballs and potions as you were taught, rather than spend money buying them in bulk (even though you had boatloads because of your champion status).

You tried getting the trio to follow your directions, but they kept fumbling with the tumblestones and didn't know where to attach the iron chunks that made up the clasps.

When you start talking about feather, wing, leaden, and gigaton pokeballs they stare at you in confusion until you realize "oh shit those are outdated".

Nemona is VERY curious about the gigaton ball, however, and so you show it to her--revealing your Alpha Garchomp branded with the "Former Alpha" mark. She got to keep her height.

"Oh yeah, she was a real feisty one. We had a half-hour standoff on a slippery ice mountain slope but I showed her who's boss haha." You laugh as you share the story of how you encountered and tamed her.

Your fellow champion now thinks you're 10x cooler for actually facing a Pokémon head-on....while poor Arven and Penny are shook(TM) and wondered how you made it back alive.

Especially when they discover your scars are from falling and vicious Pokemon attacks

Introducing your Hisuian starter to your Paldean starter was...a little awkward. One recently became a champion's Pokémon and the other faced Giratina itself.

But they eventually shake hands and become besties, becoming members of your party whenever you wanna battle Arven, Penny, or Nemona again.

You keep accidentally calling out agile/strong style in your commands (ie "Avalugg, make an Agile Avalanche!"), but your Pokémon like to pretend they still know them.

Kitakami (Perrin & Bloodmoon Ursaluna)

Returning to Kitakami felt most familiar..and quite comforting considering how traditional everything is.

Festival of the Masks came back around, and while you didn't get to spend it with Kieran nor Carmine this time...you did wind up spending it with somebody else...

Perrin, who you were drawn to after seeing her Hisuian Growlithe getting into trouble with an Arbok and trying to stand up for itself.

Reminds you of a certain late lord's son..

She expresses her thanks for rescuing her buddy, and mentions how you got there "right on time".

You just look into her eyes and see Adaman: the Diamond Clan leader, the kind man who gave you the celestica flute and came to your aid when you got exiled from the village.

He may be gone now, but time didn't allow him to be forgotten.

Because he lives on in somebody else.

Perrin gets concerned when she sees how emotional you're getting, but you just wipe your eyes and say she just reminds you of an "old friend".

When you show her your other Hisuian Pokémon, she's THRILLED and wants to take all of their pictures, delighted to have proof that these creatures existed.

That leads her to ask how you acquired them, and you start talking about your adventures in the very region she's been studying...including the fact you met her ancestor who used to worship Dialga and had an easygoing attitude like her.

Girl is taking notes fr.

Together you seek out the "Bloodmoon Beast", only to discover that it was an Ursaluna who travelled alllll the way to Kitakami from Hisui, the environment causing it to change appearances and abilities.

You were fascinated, wondering what Lord Ursaluna or Calaba would think of him, and made him a member of your team after quelling his rage.

While going on more casual photoshoots with Perrin, you ask her about what Sinnoh is like now or if anyone there knew about Hisui.

She mentions how the elderly folk talk of it, and how the subway battle system was being run by one conductor due to the other going missing...

You find yourself holding your breath---until she says "oh but apparently he came back like yesterday" and you were SO relieved.

'Ingo made it back home, too. Thank you Arceus.'

She plans to invite you to Sinnoh someday, seeing as you're so curious about what it all looks like now.

BB Academy (BBE4, Carmine, & Kieran)

When you got to study abroad at BB Academy, you...sorta forgot all the beef you had with Kieran until you saw him berating a student out in the terarium.

A year later, you're Paldea's champion AND the one who saved Hisui, but you couldn't exactly tell him the latter.

But now you understood why everyone back then calling you a "hero" made you a little uncomfortable.

Ogerpon (who was worried sick about where you've gone all this time), was SO happy to see you were back and got to meet your Hisuian Lilligant. Two plant gals just vibing together.

You find a Kleavor in the canyon biome and become a bit sentimental, happy to see a descendant of the Lord of the Woods had survived to this very day.

He must've known you were the one who helped his ancestor (albeit not without receiving some scars from flying wood chips), as he bowed and began walking alongside you, loyal to a tee.

Least to say, he became a valuable ally when you finally battled Kieran in the championship.

He sees that you've definitely changed a lot, too. You look tougher and he was concerned about where that scar across your eye came from....

But he's still obsessed with winning, and his attitude when talking about Terapagos afterwards reminds you of...well...Volo.

It's such an extreme comparison, and you hate how your brain immediately jumped to that considering that was a legitimate monster of a man who betrayed you.

Yet it feels like such a similar situation when Kieran pits the turtle against you in the Underdepths, obsessed with power and wanting nothing more than to be recognized as "worthy".

At least he wasn't planning on ending the world, just yours.

After you both reconcile, you spill the beans about where you've gone for the past year, expecting him to laugh or shun you again for keeping such a big secret from him.

Instead..he has this star-eyed look and wanted to know MORE.

So during your next visit to Kitakami, you tell him and Carmine some stories of your Hisuian adventures, showing off Kleavor and your Alpha Garchomp.

Seeing that you still liked to make authentic pokeballs and potions made Kieran appreciate you a lot more. Kitakami used to have a lot of those apricorns, tumblestones, and leeks before everything became mass-produced.

Like him, you really became out-of-touch with today's technology, so while he's learning it, you're re-learning it along with him.

Eventually you tell those same stories to the BB E4, who are all just as shocked, amazed, and bewildered as the twins were.

And when they all came to offer up a trade, you knew what to do:

For Drayton, you gave him a Goomy, insisting that he trains it fully, not wanting to spoil the "surprise".

As lazy as he is, he does so and is stunned when Sliggoo is revealed to be chilling in its own shell, and Goodra had its whole shell on its tail, capable of withdrawing into it anytime

Ngl it makes him wish he had his own shell to withdraw into just to escape situations.

For someone like Kieran who likes old-fashioned stuff, you figured a Hisuian Voltorb would suit him best.

Its appearance reminds you of the olden ways pokeballs were made, and he got the hang of crafting a few himself after a little trial and error!

He gets nervous about it exploding like Kantonian Voltorbs at the slightest touch, but is happy to find out it's super friendly and discharges just to spook humans.

As for Carmine, the sharpness in her golden eyes reminds you of a certain ghost type's...and thus you believed giving her a Hisuian Zorua was ideal. You had a feeling she'd love its evolved form.

When she does evolve it, she's stunned that it has reddish highlights like she does, jokingly asking if this is her in "another life".

Least to say, she loves it indeed.

While you were adamant about giving Amarys your Kleavor, you ended up trading her a Scyther and give her a black augurite afterwards, explaining how it's the secret to its other evolution.

She mentioned deposits of that mineral existing within the canyon biome, but it couldn't actually evolve the surrounding Scyther population due to being simulated.

But thanks to you, she gets to witness that in-action because you held onto an authentic piece of it, and she gives you her thanks.

As for Crispin, well, you believed a Hisuian Growlithe was perfect for him. It was energetic, loyal, and full of fire..just like him.

He got teary-eyed at the story you told of the late Lord Arcanine, his son, how you quelled his frenzy, etc..and feels inspired to train the pup you've given him into something incredible.

One thing Kantonian and Hisuian Arcanines have in common? They love spicy foods.

For Lacey, you trade her a Hisuian-born Petili, encouraging her to use the sun stone right away.

She does and is delighted to see Lilligant as such a graceful dancer..who really packs a punch when it counts!

She'll definitely doll her up and ensure she knew Charm (the only fairy move Hisuian Lilligant could know, alas).
