In the semifinals for the @ultimate-submas-tournament, the Woodsman finds himself challenged not by PMD Sneasel!Ingo (@teamconductors) or Ghost Worm!Ingo (@blaiddraws) themselves, but more by what they fundamentally are. Re: dead and a Sneasel. It’s a lot for a guy to take in.
Transcript
Woodsman: *jibbering nonsense*
PMD!Ingo: Think he’ll calm down anytime soon?
Worm!Ingo: Doubt it.
Woodsman: WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON ANYMORE?! SNEASELS?! WORMS?! WHY?!
PMD!Ingo: Is he… crying?
Worm!Ingo: …yes.
Woodsman: Oh my dearest brother, we’re really in it now!!!

This is one of my favourite details from Pokemon Gen V:
On the left, Ghetsis' Hydreigon from Black and White.
In the middle, Ghetsis' Hydreigon from Black 2 and White 2.
On the right, Iris' Hydreigon from Black 2 and White 2.
(Specifically, that's the Challenge Mode one- in Easy and Normal mode, it knows Charge Beam and doesn't have the Wise Glasses, and in the rematches it has this set and the only difference between Easy/Normal and Challenge mode is the levels and whether it has the Wise Glasses or not)
Ghetsis' Hydreigon in the first game is a Special Attacker, at Lv.54. We also know it has a Speed-raising nature, in case it wasn't scary enough already. Most likely Timid. It has pretty much perfect coverage.
And then, his Hydreigon in the second game is... different. It's a lower level, weighing in at Lv.52 (though it does go up to Lv.56 in Challenge Mode, for what it's worth), and it's now a Physical Attacker. It's carrying a Life Orb, so it damages itself every time it attacks in exchange for higher power, and whether Ghetsis has actively given it this item on purpose, or the item isn't canonically there and it's just meant to simulate Hydreigon having a Bad Time, it nonetheless sends a message. Its moves are the powerful but very inaccurate Dragon Rush, the fairly strong but also inaccurate Rock Slide, Crunch (which isn't really relevant here), and Frustration, the move that gets more powerful the more the user hates its trainer. It all adds up to create the image of a Pokemon that attacks in a frenzy, frequently missing its moves and harming itself when they do connect, and loathing its trainer so much that it can channel that into a 102-power move.
And then, after you finally beat Ghetsis and he goes catatonic after being twice humbled by a teenager with a hat, and you make your way up Victory Road, and beat the Elite Four, you meet Iris. And the first thing she sends out is a Hydreigon with the exact same moveset as Ghetsis' one from the first game (if you're playing Challenge Mode or rematching her).
We know that Ghetsis was arrested at the end of Black and White's main story, and he only escaped because the Shadow Triad came to break him out. And Alder and Cheren would've had to be pretty dense to let him keep his Poke Balls on him. So I think it's highly likely that Ghetsis lost his original Hydreigon at the end of the first game, and it was given to Iris to take care of. Ghetsis got a new one between games and this one just fucking hates his guts. He treats it badly, and it hates him in return.
Hopefully this one will be looked after properly now that Ghetsis is completely nuts and unresponsive.

Welp, I’ve made what I call ‘The Single Most Boring Submas AU Ever Conceived’:
A Unovan in New York City
An AU in which Emmet eeby deebies himself so hard that he winds up in a place so unbelievable, it’s pure fiction: our universe.
There’s not much else to it. It’s mostly Emmet’s struggles to adapt and thrive in a world where Pokémon exist as just a silly idea made by a video game company. It’s hard but he manages to keep a low profile until Akari/Dawn and Ingo are sent in to retrieve him.
Highlights include: Emmet getting a job as a NY subway driver, where he delights in pointing at the zebra boards; learning about animals so ordinary and boring he has no clue what they are; having his mind blown by little kids teaching him how the butterfly lifecycle works; vigilante train repairs; realizing he’s been blasted past the fourth wall and that looking into it will only lead to madness; meeting dogs going poorly; meeting cats going so well that Emmet winds up fostering some; Chandelure fighting crime behind his back; learning Yiddish; locals having their minds blown when meeting real live Pokémon; and Emmet learning about sports against his will.
The narrative is a bit wobbly since it’s all barely connected ideas but I thought it’d be funny to toss this out here.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott! Just as you remember them.
The rest of their evolutions (and every other Unova Pokémon for that matter) are going to get their own redesigns soon.
