I told myself to hold this in Until I finished the transformation sequence (which is fully sketched out it just needs to be cleaned up, its not fully animated but its real :D) but unfortunately I love Precure and Magical girls and @fourphoenixfeathers AU has transfixed me so your getting AU Thoughts: -Emmet and Ingo are a duo transformation ala Nagisa and Honaka. They cannot transform without each other and transforming involves them holding hands.

(Look Emmet and Ingo are literally black and white and it's also the Precure Anniversary. I need to reference the OGs)

-How Precure work in this universe is basically me mashing what I've heard about Happiness Charge (haven't watched it yet but have heard about its setting) into the pokemon world. So there's International Precure and they help the legendaries out but they aren't given powers by Them. In my head I reasoned that Precure just...seem out of Arceus jurisdiction so there is now Something Else giving people Precure powers. But legendaries can call on Precure if they need some help. That's what Kyurem did for Emmet and Ingo (and then later what Arceus did just without properly asking)

-While Emmet and Ingo are a bit outside the usual age range there not the only adult Precure. I haven't really thought of who else would be one except like...N. (he's 20) I'll think about it a bit more but the point is Anyone can be a Precure.

-Emmet and Ingo first became Cures around the start of BW2, they help out with Kyurem and the Dna splicer situation. Before that the plot of BW was mostly handled by Hilda, Bianca, Cheren and then the Midseason Cure N. There still here but Emmet and Ingo being there lightens the load a lot so it goes a bit smoother...Kyurem fusion still happens though! Both Dragons get fused! It Does Not Go Well! They fix it but that involves a secret special mode I haven't drawn yet (for people who know what Infinity Silhouette is, its that, but Emmet and Ingo get a weaker version of it in the middle of the season, it's there power up :D)

-Legends Arceus however is mainly dealt by Ingo and Emmet until midseason cure stuff happens. They go together because of the aforementioned Duo Situation. I imagine its possible to force them into a situation where they are forced to transform alone. However their Cure forms would probably destabilize and be a lot weaker than it would be if they were together.

-It's simply just not worth it unless you want to purposefully weaken them and and even then an unstable Cure is a bit of a risky situation. If Ingo was amensia-ed in this AU it would be Bad for Everyone.

-Cures overall have a pretty tight-knit community, usually there all really busy but if there in the area/its a really bad situation they'll help out.

-Pokemon can become Cures in the same way Fairies can become Cures. There's not a lot of them but there around. I'm mentioning this because i have plans for other regions (most notably Galar and...if Ash Ketchum ever gets brought in, Kanto.)

-A not insignificant amount of the Nimbasa City population has connected the dots between Emmet and Ingo and Cure Truth and Cure Ideal. It's an unsaid agreement to not say anything, they did however freak out when they found out that they existed in Hisui.

On another thing that's not in-universe AU content:

I love magical girls, so of course when I heard this AU my brain started to think about why Ingo and Emmet work really well as magical girls. Because they really do! I think it's mostly because both of them in there game dialogue are just really sincere and don't hold anything back. The sincerity and earnestness of there personality lends itself well to magical girls to me. I have more thoughts on that but I'm tired, but yeah my point is they work well together.

A series of Graveyard Train Emmet thoughts I want to expand on someday:

When Ingo disappeared, Emmet was 100% a wreck. Like, surveillance cameras recorded Ingo walking into an empty train and just. Never coming out. Emmet stayed in the train for hours the next day looking, and eventually had to be forced out so he didn't contaminate the crime scene. (Not that there was much to find.)

Elesa and the other Station workers helped keep Emmet busy in like... A productive way. Dragging him out to dinner or other activities, spending time with him when he'd normally be alone, things like that. Eventually one of his friends takes him to a piano concert. Watching the pianist's hands working separately and yet together to make multiple parts of a song come together... It interested him. Eventually he starts going to grief therapy and learning piano to help cope.

It took a surprisingly long time for anyone to notice Emmet was missing when he boarded the In-Between Train (I never came up with a cool official name so that's my stand-in). It was the year anniversary of Ingo's disappearance and Emmet was already taking a few days off. No one realized he was missing until Elesa went to his home and it was empty.

That combined with the fact that he left his Pokemon behind led to some very. Not good conclusions. Thankfully he reappeared about three days later! Horribly injured! Oh no.

Yeah Emmet spent a whole week on the In-Between Train. Most of that time was spent in Cyrus's version of the Distortion World.

Since Emmet was taken back to Nimbasa City, a lot of his background memories were able to return pretty quickly! He still can't remember specific events but he can usually figure out if he's done something or seen a movie before. He still remembers how to play piano.

He also occasionally models with Elesa since he started working in the gym with her! But he mostly helps challengers get ready to fight on stage, mostly to help make sure they don't get overwhelmed by the lights and noise.

No matter what he does, he can't remember anything about Ingo. He knows he has a brother, sure, but for some reason any information about him just... Doesn't register in Emmet's head. This doesn't stop him from feeling like something in his life is missing.

Has three main friends outside of Elesa: Isadore, one of his old coworkers; Krissa, a cyclist who works as an anatomy teacher at a local high school; and Clyde the Gym Guide.

Amnesiac Emmet doesn't like people constantly bringing up his past. Even if he can't remember much about it, it still leaves a bad taste in his mouth. That's why he spends so much time with those three. Isadore doesn't ask uncomfortable questions, Krissa barely knew a thing about the Battle Subway in the first place because she just bikes everywhere, and Clyde only really wants to know how Emmet's doing as as co-Gym Leader.

Emmet also plays Wordle and like a dozen more challenging variants of it. He, Krissa, and Isadore have a group chat where they compare how they do. He also has a very long daily streak on Flow Free. Connecting dots is fun, what can I say.

Very adamant on the fact that he did not have a hand in killing Volo. Blame Emmet's memory ghost, not him.

Was 100% putting himself between Ingo and Volo in chapter 9 so that he'd get hit instead of Ingo. Emmet didn't even have his memories of Ingo back yet and he was already ride or die.

Emmet does not have a violent bone in his body. Unfortunately Ghost!Emmet did not have a body and almost had to watch Ingo getting attacked by Volo AGAIN. He makes an exception this once.

In the time he was on the train, Ghost!Emmet was like an older brother to Ray and Ailey. Like oh my god these two love him and think the world of him. He's also good friends with Anabel and Looker. Not so much with Cyrus and Mohn. Of course, he and Ghost!Ingo are inseparable at that time. (I'll absolutely include scenes of this in chapter 10)

Still isn't sure how he feels about Rei, The Conductor. He's thankful that they helped reunite him and his brother but... They still unnerve him. He isn't sure why anyone would willingly spend so much time on the In-Between Train.

Emmet didn't end up on the train by accident. He was called there by Rei. There was a chance that he could have ended up on the In-Between Train on accident... Well, no there wasn't. People don't accidentally end up on the train more than once.

Emmet has no memory of this, but, when he was very young, he and Ingo went to the Entralink one day to play. The two became separated and Emmet became lost. There shouldn't have been any trains in the Entralink, but he ended up on one somehow. Someone led him to the exit, though he would not recognize them when he grew older. But... That's a story for another day.
