Want Kieran to get Pecharunt in fics/fanart because i feel like it'd turn into a psychological horror for Him, Specifically, even before anything actually bad happens that would cause other characters to become concerned.
Like... Kieran is scared/v desperate in Mochi Mayhem despite the comedic beats after a certain point, and for good reason!
This is a Pokémon he literally has no context for, not even the Loyal Three connection! It just. Is. His dialogue specifically acting like 'oh if you can damage it you can beat it' is also. Really telling, imo.
I also think that somebody who is not whoever has Ogrepon is probably the better choice for someone to keep Pecharunt, and if I am going to be completely honest, I feel like if Pokémon scarlet/violet actually tracked inter-Pokémon friendship levels that it probably would be good to keep Pecharunt away from the Loyal Three too, but not for the reasons people think...?
Pecharunt gets mad at all three of them, and it repeats for each one, so honestly speaking I do Not think they would instantly get along again. I think something really bad could happen.
I also think this because Carmine going 'oh well I guess it will be a mystery what the deal with that thing (Pecharunt) is' /is/ giving me insight damage. I would like them to know. Especially considering Carmine and Kieran's family nearly got made outcasts due to Pecharunt's actions. Not to mention some of the weirdly specific Ogrepon legends that don't match to Ogrepon at all, and also pretty funnily enough do Not have a lot of connective tissue to the Pecharunt-we're-looking-at's stuff, because I feel like Kieran if kept in proximity to world's most placeless dread inducing pokemon (second if you include Malamar) WOULD eventually get into full pinboard with photographs style:
'Carmine I think this thing was stealing people from the village for years...'
'Kiki please go to bed it has been 48 hours. We talked about this...' etc etc.
I want characters to theorize about Pecharunt and be wrong, and I want to see stuff discussing toxic chain stuff that /isn't/ just 'oooh Kieran got possessed scary!'.
I also mostly have a very vivid image of Kieran at his desk looking at lists of status effect curing moves + abilities and poison-immunities in a big chart is quite good, because I do really feel like that's an extremely reasonable reaction to having a Pokemon that like, cursed your entire village and living family in your possession.
