#oops i wrote 3 pages for the Violet au

[ask-mysterious-muses]

Based on the Edge/Misc. OC ask meme you posted, #10 for Aevery?

10. What's an AU that would be interesting to explore with your OC?

((Ooooo, I actually do got 3 aus written in notes for the boi: 2 of them would be a split after the Valor incident and the other a post post game Violet au.

The first is a 'Welcome to Hisui' au, where Aevery is the protag in Legends Arceus that I've been very slowly working on a fic for that I hope yall look forward too so I won't go too into detail here. (With. Certain lore bits coming forward this one is starting to get more interesting :] )

The second, 'Lost Valor', was an au where the Interceptor just didn't exist/didn't NEED to exist. Aevery would wake up at Oceana Pier, no memory, no record, no home, and most of all no Pokémon. Essentially he would be back at square 1 from before he became Interceptor, just in Aevium instead of his old world. And let's just say, the poison type pokemon that hang around the garbage in alleys are a bit more dangerous than regular rats and raccoons. He does eventually find a home to belong after. A lot of time living on the streets stealing garbage and berries to survive, and of course he ends up with Echo in the end (never separating him and the borb. Brothers in any life)

And for the Violet au, I figured a fun idea would be for Aevery to be sent to school for a year after the post-game so that he could get a proper education and take a break from. Everything that happened in Aevium. The first half before the treasure hunt would be pretty tame, I could see Aevery going into home ec so he could help around more (and maybe because he really had a ton of fun in the cook-off side quest).

The treasure hunt itself would vary:

The Gym Battles would be standard, if insanely easy compared to Aevium, and Nemona would have fun being able to go all out against her new rival bestie, not even slightly upset if Echo manages to beat her team just excited that a normally weak 1st stage Pokémon could be so strong and present a real challenge like that. The rest of his team, both the few he brought with him and the new he added, would bring just as much excitement to battles. She would be absolutely excited to meet any of Aevery's super strong friends too. Could see her wanting to visit Aevium to challenge their gyms.

Team Star would cause worry at first (there's been too many evil teams), but they really are just a group of students fighting bullying and having maybe too much fun. Penny would be fighting herself to not fangirl over Aevery's unique shiny Sylveon at first, but would definitely ask to see her up close once she achieves friend status.

Path of the Titans would be when it starts getting a bit too close to home. Klawf looks like it could be a rift Krabby at first so Aevery is very relieved that it's just a really giant Paldea Pokémon. Iron Treads, on the other hand, looks waaaay too much like a Garufa mech Pokémon, and the fact that it's supposed to be from a mysterious crater that no one is allowed into? Arven would have to snap him out of any panic at that one. The sandwich making and watching Mabosstif heal would be a silver lining, and I could see the boys bonding over cooking.

Area Zero. Would bring all the worst memories of exploring Garufa ruins back to the front: the otherworldly feel of going deeper down, all the different hostile mechanical Pokémon, the unnerving notes in the scattered research buildings, the very obvious signs that something terrible happened in the last one, and the AI professor battle. That feeling of absolute helplessness when the pokeballs lock: no Daniel, no Sylveon, no Echo. Once the battle is actually over and they all climb out of the crater, some phone calls and a sleepover are in order.

Kitakami is a breath of fresh air: more familiar Pokémon, much more peaceful wilds, and some more new friends. Aevery would instantly hit it off with Kieran; just 2 shy boys bonding over folklore. The idea of lying about Ogerpon would leave a bad taste in his mouth and I could see him just telling Kieran the truth. The Lousy Three would still get woken up because I could see Kieran still being upset at his sister still not telling him the truth, and he'd still start his 'Champion' arc because Ogerpon would still choose Aevery over him, but at least most of the journey wouldn't be as tense as canon. Ogerpon would mostly stay in Kitakami, but being registered to Aevery means she could be called to join his team any time they want.

Indigo Disk would feel like a combination gym challenge/ break Kieran out of his funk. Of course, things play out mostly the same with Drayton poking the Ursaring so to speak (Right, ex-champ?), and the return to Area Zero is very much not something Aevery wants to do, but he can't let his new friends go down there without someone who knows what to expect. Definitely tells Rika that he'd gotten pretty direct permission from Professor Turo to go down there the first time tho. Everyone is very emotional after very much almost dying to Terapagos. "I'm never going down there again I don't care who asks me or why." (Lie. Aevery would do anything to help. Dlc 2 here we come :] ) Friendship with Kieran restored. Don't know where Terapagos would stay considering how powerfully dangerous it could be. Maybe Geeta could keep him. She's the actual champion of Paldea after all. The Terrarium is kinda nice, but being so far underwater in a glass dome not so nice.

Mochi Madness. First would be fun having all his new friends get to meet eachother, then scary with the weird possession thing going on, then just silly with all the 'Pecha Zombies' dancing. If he didn't know the mochi was bad news, Aevery would absolutely end up eating one. Pecha is his favorite after all. Maybe he could pitch the experience as a movie idea back at PokeStar Studio?

Small Bonus: Inviting coaches to Blueberry. I think even Erin would feel a love for battling with Nemona cheering her on.
